An old workmate of mine was at the game in their end yesterday, though, and was a bit miffed, saying afterwards that a lot of JCL's and plastics who were never seen before promotion have been travelling to the bigger grounds this year and taking a lot of the tickets. A bit like Blackpool, Burnley and Hull in years gone by, I suppose.
Even so, they did what 'bigger' clubs like Villa, Wolves etc couldn't do and filled the full allocation, and they seemed like a decent bunch, so fair play.
The torrential rain/hail storm on the walk back to the station seemed to confirm a few Manc stereotypes as well.
We dont do plastics, our average attendance went up when we were relegated to the third tier because away fans brought less so segregation could be cut. Weve taken 4k to many grounds not just the big games, and will sell out pretty much whatever tickets we are given.
We have 22k season ticket holders with a waiting list of a further 3k, and countless others not even bothering to pay the fee to go on the waiting list as there is no point until the ground is expanded, with the aim of 35000 capacity hopefully within 5 years.
Yeah but you still live in the most boring part of the Country.
Are The Higsons still going and the Singing Postman.
And any team that comes up makes a show.
