Diego_Sideburns Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Quote The Shezurrection II @Trains_4_Days Mar 29 Last stats released this morning. Best home taken away % in Div 3, and ignoring Burton, puts us 2nd in whole of England behind Grimsby #oafc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Why would we ignore Burton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 To be fair like ourselves Grimsby seem to have a decent following they have big contingent under the age of 23 that go to games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 It would be great to fall down that table (for the right reason) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 2nd in England overall? Is there a link to such a table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedtobeWozzer Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Having worked in Grimsby for 3 years the opportunity to go somewhere else for a few hours probably contributes to their away support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Sheffield Utd. and Bolton are limited by the capacity of away fans at some away grounds, which will skew this table. I doubt though that even then they would knock us off the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Why stop at ignoring Burton? If we ignore Grimsby we're number one. And if we ignore everyone then we're the only team who actually bring away fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagger Lee Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 But getting back on to the vibe of the topic - Well done all those travelling to support us, makes me proud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side it's a bit embarrassing when we are outnumbered for an home fixture by the likes of Bolton and Sheffield United. Our away support is something else at times but it's our dwindling home support we should be more concerned about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 If you add up the several dozen around me as well as those in other stands we were most definitely out numbered against Sheff Utd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same could be said about fans perversely obsessed with opening threads they have lost interest in. On second thoughts - we would be bottom of that list.

If we ever manage to compete at the other end of the table that figure would no doubt be well in excess of 25%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeP Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Don't generally go in for having a swipe at other team's followings, but photos on Twitter suggest Fleetwood and Scunthorpe have barely taken more than about 400 to their respective play-off semi-finals tonight. Pretty poor show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick_Valentine Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Expected less from Fleetwood to be honest, but from Scunthorpe that's poor if correct. Though the football league don't help with the scheduling of these games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
