10 left in one of the blocks behind the goal - and they're all wheelchair seats according to the graphic.

Glad I saw this tonight as I had no idea so few were left already.

Thanks for this thread it prompted me to order. And I just managed to get the last two tickets, separate but don't think that will matter for this fixture.

Got ours, been best away day last few years, even a bright spot in the Schofield era. Always a great crowd, lively and loud and lads do us proud on the pitch. 12.30 kick off as well so plenty of time for a chippy tea in Cleggy!

Sold out!
Title: Re: Grimsby away.
Post by: lewise99 on September 12, 2024, 12:22:13 pm
Anyone know if there's any extra seats (in other words, additional allocation) that will open up, or is that our lot?

Do tickets ever go for 'resale' if someone can't go who has a ticket?

When was the last time we had 2 away games both sold out before we've even played either ?

If you could pay on the gate then it would be another situation where the home fans were forced to move aside and give us their stand.

That'll be it. You could ask the ticket office to put you on a reserve list if anyone can't make it and takes their ticket back.

There might be a few handed back after the poor performance last night

I doubt it. We're going to have games like that. Over the past 20-30 games we are barely having them. We are doing well.

Bet they dread playing us. 0-5.

I don't think they'll dread playing against our defence. I don't think any team will.

If Newport and Harrogate can score 5 between them against us, Grimsby will know there'll be goals in it for them.

1200

Post by: Campsall rover on September 16, 2024, 10:25:38 pm
Thought we usually get around 1.600 which I think is the capacity of the stand behind the goal used for away supporters.
Title: Re: Grimsby away.
Post by: Padge_DRFC on September 17, 2024, 06:41:27 am
Asked for more and been declined. So home end must be full.

Can’t give us any of the other 3 stands as impossible to have segregation.

They do have the bit in the corner next which used to be part of the away end, but since they got back into the EFL has been used for home fans and fenced off.

With their attendances being down on the previous couple of seasons, I surmise that we were hoping that could be opened up to us, but they must've already sold tickets in that area.

we have got a bit more of the stand than we did last season think there is only a little bit in the corner that looks like the sterile block

Pretty sure it was the same allocation as last year.

Our crowds are down slightly and some natives are already unhappy - the capacity is shrinking though i think it's about 8400 now .

We sold 5500 season tickets again (not that they all turn up ) so only leaving 700 or 800 home seats for one of our biggest games of the season would probably leave some kicking off hence still not giving the away teams an extra 600 in the corner .

Hows Clifton doing over there ? Think it was a great move for him and hoping he kicks on .

Thanks GB, I think the jury is still out re Clifton - he's got a good engine and presses well, and won us a game nicking the ball off the keeper from a high press. Had a couple of quiet games as well, so I think the fans aren't quite sure yet.
