For most "honest appraisal of his team's home crowds" award 2009 from Quakerz:

2,431 with 141 away fans.

Even I never expected it to be that low and I think I'm more realistic than most when it comes to estimating crowds - some clowns were expecting 4,000 with 800 from Rotherham? On a tuesday night! I thought about 2,700. The bottom has fallen out and fook knows what the answer is (other than winding the club up)

Its gone to a whole new level of embarassment. Two seasons ago we were getting gates of 4,000+ even though we weren't really threatening to be near the top 3, last seaon the alarm bells started ringing for me as even though we WERE generally top 3 and looking good for top 3 we were struggling to get 4,000 on a Saturday anymore and midweek gates were dropping to 3,200. That was bad enough.

But this season? Well.....

I think part of the problem is that nobody actually believes we will ever go up and therefore are not worth watching because we've been stuck here so long now and to be fair they did come out in reasonable numbers c4,000 to watch a slightly above moderate team hand about in 8th to 11th all season. Been there, done that, not worth it? Then add on the prices and general lack of money to the ingrained 17 years worth of apathy. I dunno.

The irony is that they have a very real chance of going up this season. Normally they come down with the christmas decorations but they seem to be staying the course. Mind you last season they managed to hang on but I see their nemesis is there or thereabouts too.

At the moment I honesty couldn't give a fook about Darlo's crowds.

They won away today, I wish we had the steel to do that more often.

It's kinda embarrassing, this. He has something to say about this thread going up in the first place when he's visiting the Pools messageboard instead of his own. Absolute shambles.

I think he believes he's cutting and really getting to people on here, but half the time it feels like we only respond to him so he can make himself seem more illiterate, ill-informed and a true non-fan for his lack of turning up to his games without good reason.

Very poor indeed.

I love it when people try to insult TGP with anti ginger stuff, I mean as his user name suggests it really does offend him, clearly. It's like when opposition fans chant monkey hanger songs at us, a nickname we've embraced.

I've found that the people who indulge in such behaviour are generally as thick as mince.

I'm only trying to help.

I've even taken you off my ignore list, I want to help your craic improve. I feel sorry for you, you're like a homeless child pressing your face against a window as family devourer a hearty meal, or the Jack Russell constantly humping at our leg. Having a go at 'the GINGER poolie' because he is ginger isn't really the work of someone with intelligence is it?
