Remember seeing them playing Exmouth Town in the 1985 in the FA Vase Semi final with about that many supporters. IIRC the "muff" won 3-2 but lost the return leg 0-2 (cheating northern bar-stewards)
Reading that article he seems like a real piece of work,him and fleetwood town will get what they both deserveIncredible how gullible and selfish some of the Fleetwood fans are according to the facebook forum. They don't give a monkeys about what he has done or to who judging by remarks such as "Sending a BIG hug to Mr P he needs us more than ever right now.xxx" "We’ll be right, stick by your club and Andy, don’t give any other club ammunition to have a pop **** them all, we’re ready for this business as usual" "Spot on mate stand together stand firm" "Ap has done a fantastic job with our small town club with a massive heart, now it's our turn too stand by our owner Andy business as usual onwards and upwards cods ."
I remember going to that game. Couldn't remember the score though so thanks
Although that is not the same Fleetwood. That one folded due to financial troubles in 1997. In fact the current Fleetwood is the fourth incarnation of the Club! So a bit of history of instability there.
I also remember going to that game, my only time watching Exmouth.
Minus the aggro around the town & ground !
Russell Dawson, father of former City player Aaron, played in that game and I think he scored a couple for Exmouth. He got taken out with a nasty tackle and was taken to Exmouth Hospital for treatment. While he was there a Fleetwood fan was brought in with his jeans badly ripped and a big gash in his leg after he was bitten by a Police dog. Wuff justice!
Well taking the figure for ECFC that equates to £2.1M per year which can't be too far short of the actual figure.
