I definitely remember the days of going to the game and being sat in a row with 10+ empty seats to the side of me. Crazy how far we’ve come.

That's been the case a few times for me this season where I sit in B15. I must smell or something.

Yeah. Fairly sure that's where that pitch invader confronted the players.

Wasn’t it that match where the fan ran on the pitch and confronted a couple of players?

That's being kind if anything. Could be as low as half that. 6000 means roughly 1 in every 5.5 seats being full across the whole stadium. Back then there were two empty stands behind the goals (bar about 17 Forest Green fans). It's probably 1/10 in the stand that's used plus whoever is in the one with the dug outs.

That guy presumably missed out going to Wembley as well as seeing a lot of our rise because of that as well.

It's actually depressing watching back highlights on tv of league 2. Knowing how good it looks now even being 3/4 full.

Even though it was fun.

Grim times, but league one and two did have some good away days. I really liked some of the smaller grounds.
Burton Albion was a good one

Being somebody that tends to hate other people, I miss these days. Was a nice relaxing afternoon out the house.

It wasn’t all bad…there was no risk of getting to your seat at 10 to 3 to find it occupied by a jester hat wearing, hot dog eating tourist.

My boy was a mascot that day (which was an amazing experience and I can't compliment the club enough for that) and at the time we were gutted we didn't win, its since become sort of a badge of honour that it pretty much marked our lowest point.

Who wants to start the ‘where were you when we were shit?’ chants on Saturday?

In all seriousness, for me, those times make games like Saturday even more special.

Yes, Forest Green had something like 100 fans and were all sat in the block next to the main stand. A grim day.

The away game however was even worse!

Ah yeah, remember those days. Reminds me of the Gillingham comeback game and the woeful attendance of our next home fixture.

Our stripey pests former landlords would have claimed that as 12k+


Also crazy that May 2018 we played Notts county. We are closing in on the topflight of EFL and they are closing in on joining the EFL

Remember the game against Burton Albion where Burge kicked the ball out straight to Jamie Allen who blasted it in.

"Lee Burge!"

Singers corner was a smattering of people but we still kept the atmosphere going even in League 2.

I remember that game where there was a 40 minute rendition of Twist and Shout.

They’ve got to fight their way through the playoffs first. Imagine losing out to Borehamwood who are currently 37 points behind them
