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.
100% agree, I said a week ago I really hope we only give them 2000. If they filled the Sirrel I would say they virtually have home advantage crowd wise as let’s face it they would just come down for the day, beered up and it would be deafening. I wasn’t sure if Notts would do it or not as they always try and do everything ethically correct but some times in football u have to be a bit cute with stuff.
