Boxing day attendance predictions

[zeebra]

So your visual estimation must be more accurate than someone who was actually on the turnstyle? How can you justify that?

[AncientBlue]

Have to admit, I don't like the use of the 'C' word, I took my 7 year old grandson to the match, he was a little shocked by it, and said as much to his gran, who definitely doesn't like that kind of language. It isn't necessary and it isn't funny, but it seems bad language has taken over from witty and amusing songs in support of football teams these days. Not a forward step in my opinion, but there you have it.

Although signed in as British Legion Babe (Teresa's log on) it is Frankie here.

 

We have to give out the admission tickets so know 400 based on that.

In the mid 70's to early 80's the choir then (about the same hard core of 12 teenagers/early twenties) used to sing to support the team and insult the ref and opposition team and supporters. However we did not need to resort to using swearwords and they were just as funny and a good put down at times.

 

Our current choir are a great bunch of lads...and Danielle who do a good job encouraging the team. My only complaint is the free use of bad language which one day will get them escorted out during a game by a jobsworth steward be it at Margate or more likely an away match

I heard it and to be honest with kids around and possibly families, sorry fella's you need to tone it down a bit. Good to hear them though and yes they do a great job.

Tense derby, tempers always boil over. It's a fact of football. But there was only one occasion when the crudest of language was used: when Ward charged down the touchline to get involved in the fracas. Now tell me, if Standen was sent off for involving himself which had nothing to do with him (and I felt he SHOULD have been sent off), why was Ward not also sent off?

I was selling programmes down the Ramsgate end and, although slow at first, the fans came in numbers later on. I nearly sold all my programmes which I believe was 250. Don't forget they had about 50 seats they could use too and were around the side. Was pleasantly surprised at the number at the Margate end though.

 

My son did some interviews with both sets of fans and players Ryan Martin and Andy Hadden which should be in tomorrows local. Very interesting and conflicting views as you would expect!

[Ian_Sanderson]

Yes thanks for the programme Al, was a good day, especially getting in for free.

[BlueGate Alan]

No probs Ian, my apologies that I didn't know it was you, but then again as you have never been to a game before!

[Ian_Sanderson]

Alan just because people dont know me doesnt mean ive never go to games.Tea Bar Mark, and i quote oh your ian sanderson, ive seen you at loads of games.LOL echoed also by numerous Ramsgate Fans, after i introduced myself.

[BlueGate Alan]

If you look Ian I winked mate, nice bite though

[JeremyJacobs]

Sanderson you really are a complete twat. No more than 300 Rams fans to see your bunch of ex-Kent League cloggers compete with a much weakened Margate side.

 

 

 

 

[Ian_Sanderson]

Dear Oh Dear Mr [****!!****]&r, as Frankie has already stated, he was on the Ramsgate turnstile and let in 400.Also Alan has stated there was at least 50 in the seats, and over 50 at the Margate end.Now i know your not very well educated so i will do the sums

400+50 +50 =500.

So carry on posting your ridiculous links and leave the maths to other people, failing that carry on watching Margate, opps you never do.

[Porka]

50 in the seats, of which those 50 would have come in as part of that 400, Ian. So you do the maths, at least get it right! And 50 up the Margate end. If you say so! Reckon there was a dozen if that. Anyway this is besides the point. Was a good crowd there who went along to see both teams.

[rayw]

Either way thats over 400 away fans. Quite impressive. And over a thousand home fans,which is great.

Great to see people in Thanet coming to a game in those numbers.

[BlueGate Alan]

Hear Hear Ray. Lets hope at least 10% of them come back for both clubs. (For those whose maths is not so hot thats an extra 65 fans at Margate and an extra 15 at Rams.)

[Dutch_Mike]

Quote from Sanderson:

 

"I know your not very well educated"

 

To be grammatically correct, that should actually read:

 

"I know you're not very well educated"

 

Couldn't make it up, eh?
