grays support

[urchinman1961]

couldn't help notice grays support last nite under 700 seems a bit low for so early in the season or is it a taste of things for everybody in this new campaign

[and1inthetree]

pick 3 of these i reckon

 

midweek, football on telly, people still on holiday, credit crunch, trains weren't very well, away team brought no fans/all on comps, thought game would be off because of rain.

 

that should do the trick.

Or the other reason is that the novelty of top flight football in the conference has warn off. I also noticed that Dagenham only had 1400 for their game on Saturday.

 

It going to be a hard season with all that travelling for both of them.

seriously Grays have bad attendence anyway ok like Tree says people on holiday and etc but last season on a satarday they were getting between 700 and 800 im suprised Mick Woodward is still there surely why continue to fund where the people of grays dont want to know and the council not helping much in getting them a new stadium

i think the problem could of been that until 9pm last night the dartford crossing was closed.Took me 2 hours to get home from west thurrock and the whole area was in turmoil.Doubt many kettering fans made it down as the tailbacks were from the tunnel back on to the m11 from about 5pm.

Kettering normally take a few away but doubt on a good day the crowd would have been much over 800.

exactly yellow tbh people I knew in the area as I went to thurrock college that supported grays a few stopped going for many reasons some because of MW, some because the football was crap and etc

Or perhaps to some, 15 quid is a bit of an ask.

Especially for people with other commitments.

Even to see a conference game these days will cost

[Baron of Black Fen]

I went to see Redbridge on Saturday and we were talking about the same thing there. The answer seemed to be not have conf north and south but to have north/south east and west etc.

 

We are heading into recession and for clubs to continue at that level decisions have to be made. Thank god for the Ryman Premier.

1st round of Johnstone's Paint trophy is split into St George's Day flag.

It prevents games like Brentford away to Swansea on a Tuesday night as both clubs are south as happened this week in the Carling Cup.

[Baron of Black Fen]

Only 523 at Saturday's home game with Northwich. Just over 1100 people in for their first rwo league home games. I bet that wasn't in Mick Woodward's cash flow for the season.

[JAY]

I wouldnt be surprised as said before if Mick woodward withdraws his backing from grays

[Baron of Black Fen]

Wouldn't that be nice.

[Eastside Urchin]

a bloke at work said he went saturday and was very surprised that the crowd was only 523,he thought there was at least 900 in the ground.

Wouldn't it be nice if we can get 524 in or more tomorrow

[JAY]

i hope grays drop down to our level the scumbags

[Nette]

I dont think we will get that tomorrow hun, but on Saturday we should smash that

Bit harsh imo.
Love a rivalry as much as the next person but some of the stuff like "i hope they go bust" just sounds bitter tbh.
I'd sooner be able to play them at that level if possible.
Old news now, and i'd say it would be better concentrating our efforts closer to home.

[Eastside Urchin]

still hate the scum though.I hope they drop to our level through relegation

[urchinboy2]

would love to play them next season in the connie south with them getting relegation and us going up

[JAY]

agreed and take 6 points of them
