We are not losing revenue though. The gate receipts are pooled after match day expenses are deducted and distributed amongst the play off teams. Those expenses would go up with a significantly higher following, particularly this mob.
We get more money for being promoted and giving Grimsby the minimum required by the regulations increases that chance compared to them having a full Sirrel. It would take away a huge chunk of the advantage letting them have 4500 following them.
I also hope Notts have that meshing along the front block to keep there fans tucked in to the top blocks of the Sirrel.
