We all know we need a (more than a, really) forward but we also know that anyone of any promise ain't coming here under the current circumstances. There's always hope...pun intended.

Glossop had Rory Fallon playing upfront for them. Not the one who played for Swindon bit who played for FC United you may have heard of him.

oafc1955 Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Back on track….If we were to be relegated in May and providing we were under new ownership could we comfortably compete in the National League. Just had look at the division in more detail after several home fixtures and it makes disturbing reading. Apart from Wrexham who have attracted high profile owners we couldn’t match any of the following even with our attendances in League 1!! Current National League positions and average attendances 21/22 18th Southend 5015 5th Chesterfield 5063 1st Grimsby 5739 10th Notts Co 5925 11th Stockport 6181 12th Wrexham 7719 I’d like to think we could mix it with that lot but those are phenomenal attendances for non league football and it’s by no means certain.

Grimsby, Stockport & Wrexham certainly are attracting substantially better support in non-league than they did when at the 2nd tier of English football. Southend, Chesterfield and Notts I would say are probably around the same as their general average in EFL. Latics traditionally are at the same level at least as all the above maybe with the exception of Notts who are a City club and our crowds historically would be above all apart from Notts. Under AL this will never happen, the club will just continue to haemorrage support (despite the official figures which are dubious to say the least). Under a new regime and with some upwards momentum that comes from an effective plan or just maybe relief at freedom from a tyranny, I believe we could see crowds akin to these again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimsby have the sort of owners we dream of. Not moneybags who may be gone tomorrow but genuine fans from the area, made good and putting something back.

I mean look at our home record over this season and last! It's just more and more punishment week after week. I'm amazed we get the numbers we do....
