I don't think they were arguing about who was going to take it, more like who wasn't going to take it. Read didn't look confident, me and my nephew knew he wouldn't score. Dreadful first half, better second half once we started to show a bit of intensity (in patches), and yet remarkably, as you say Gerry, results couldn't have gone better elsewhere for us, even Chesterfield drew. I agree also Gerry, the Spireites are the ones to watch now.
Incidentally, it looked like they'd transfers strips of grass from in front of S1 to cover the drainage runs, worked as well. |

I thought Notts County deserved the win, but it seems no one wants to take this league by the scruff of the neck. On to tomorrow at a packed JobServe - here we go! |

Every block in the East, West and South stands now sold out, and apart from N1 and N2, just 81 seats left in W8 and W9 (yes, I counted them). |

South Stand sold out, only two seats left in the East Stand, W3 to W6 sold out and W2 and W7 close to a sell-out. Fans are now buying in the North Stand. Looks like we might make that 5k average attendance as things stand. |

As expected, N1 and N2 have now been opened up to home supporters for the Crewe game. |

If I remember correctly, I think at least some of E1 and E2 was used as stock to replace damaged seats elsewhere? If so, we probably don't hold enough in storage to backfill E1 and E2. From a commercial point of view, I wouldn't be surprised if Robbie was holding off on the expense until he knows what league we'll be in next season. If it's League 2, we probably won't need them for any but a very few games.
If not League 2...? |

That reminds me of a joke I once heard.
At the height of Newcastle United’s popularity, they sold out every ticket for every game. Despite that, one supporter found that throughout the late summer, autumn and early winter there was always one empty seat next to him. Despite repeated enquires he was always assured by the club that the seat had been sold and wasn’t available. Come Boxing Day, he’s amazed to see someone sat there. “Where have you been all this time?” he asked. With a tinge of annoyance in the reply he answered “my wife bought me a season ticket for Christmas”. |

Not a disaster at all. I would have preferred Doncaster to win, but it does mean everyone in the top 10 continue to shuffle up, with everyone (maybe apart from Port Vale, ourselves and Chez Vegas, the only teams to have won their last game) failing to take command of the top 7 places. Good Friday is going to be massive. |

17 seats left in the South Stand, the entire East Stand on limited availability, and likewise the central sections of the West Stand. We might struggle to top 7k, but it's looking like it'll be close. I personally think the club should put N1 and N2 out for availability now, might drum up even more interest. |

Realistically, Donny are more or less off our radar now, we're really focused on chasing down Grimsby and perhaps Notts County, so I'm perfectly happy for them to put an end to Saltyfords lingering faint play-off hopes tonight. Considering the lead they had at one point, it's remarkable that a Doncaster win will see Walsall drop out of the automatic promotion places. |

Breaking news, on our ticketing website Crewe allocation has now been moved to only N4 and N5. That suggests the club might be thinking of opening up at least N1 and N2 for home fans?
Doesn’t matter to me, I’ve now got one of the last seats in S3  |

Actually, because of the intention to replicate Layer Rd, the noisy fans were originally in E1 and E2, and away fans had S1 and S2. I think that’s why there is a dividing barrier available in the South Stand. But the Stazi Stewards (who I think were subcontracted from Poorman Rd) put an end to that concept. We’ve made a few mistakes since moving into the new ground, but allowing that level of aggressive stewarding was one of the biggest. No matter now, it’s now our place and we own it!

I thought about that too, and it would make sense. Just depends if we have the stock available, or the appetite to get it in time. What we do have is a fan base skilled in seat installation if needed |

First covered on the OMB, but we are in striking distance of reaching a home league attendance average of 5,000 this season. Our total home attendance for the 21 games so far is 99,819, so we are 15,181 short of the target 115,000 (23 x 5,000), or 7,591 on average over the last two games.
It's certainly doable, but probably hinging on the level of away support, or whether Robbie allocates some of the North Stand to home supporters if there's demand for the Barrow game. I think one of the issues for the North Stand share idea is there isn't a means to segregate the concourse under the stand. I don't know, I've never been in the North Stand?
Crewe is selling well at the moment, E4-E8 approaching a sell-out, S1 and S2 sold out, S3 and S4 close to sold out, as are W3, 4 and 6.
Technically, there is another way to reach a home average of 5,000, but that would require a 24th home game. The good news is that in that scenario, our required average over three home league games actually drops to 6,727 per match 
Edit: Crewe, not Donny [Post edited 14 Apr 18:18]

I'm just curious, you've said previously that there is an active audience for what you're posting, why aren't any of them registering and posting content? |
