So 3,837

4,650 - 1,700 from Bradford plus 200 in the home end.

With the high % of Morecambes population being from Bradford I think there may be more than 200 in the home end !

You might be right but I was only joking, pal.

I guess it will be made up of men, women and children. with possibly the odd four legged friend (like inth old days)..and of course some people from Yorkshire.

My friend is coming all the way from Norway to see this first Morecambe match

id say 5.000+(1.599 from Bradford)

Should be a Gud atmosphere Lets hope the game is a gud1 aswell.

Hugh
Pugh
Barney McGrew
Cuthbert
Dibble
Grub

6,000+ (prolly a similar number locked out)
A massive 720 from Bradford, great effort from them considering they will have nothing to play for.

Bloody hell. You must introduce us all to Norway Shrimp in JB's afterwards. that's absolutely brilliant.

Trumpton Fire Brigade

These seven fearless fire men could deal with all sorts of trouble. From cats up trees to apple picking - no job was too difficult. In the afternoons, the firemen would play in the bandstand in Trumpton Park and the town's people would gather to watch and listen. Fortunately there were no fires in the afternoons, but then there were no fires in the mornings either.


Captain Flack
He would always answer the 'emergency' phone call, then flick a switch on his control unit which sounded the fire station bell. At the top of the control unit was a map - of the area around Florence, in Italy. Captain Flack always gave the orders - in a very clear manner - "DESCEND !".

For some reason there has always been much confusion over the names of the firemen. This is compounded by recent publications which are themselves inconsistent. The definitive answer however is:

Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb.

The firemen's names were thought up by Alison Prince who wrote the Trumpton scripts, although her original roll call had just one Pugh. Freddie Phillips who wrote all the music for Trumptonshire then suggested adding a second Pugh to give the roll call a "musical foot", as he put it.

Pugh and Pugh were in fact twins. If you're still in doubt, then read the interview with Gordon Murray. He specifically refers to them as twins - and after all, he should know. The Trumpton annuals of the time are consistent, with twin Pughs.

Barney McGrew was the bearded fireman who always got to drive. Cuthbert was the one who rode in the hoist and had an aunt.

The firemens' theme tune, known as "Firemen Bold", must be one of the most memorable tunes of the Trumptonshire series, even though it had no lyrics

Yes, but I understand that they share the same season ticket, which is why you never see them at a match together!

Well, Carol Vorderman has nothing to worry about with your mathematical ability!

Do you think the levels of sarcasm may be getting to epidemic proportions. I've started coming on here just for a laugh.

I mean the website, not my keyboard you understand

I've heard of sticky fingers but that's beyond a joke.

To be fair I think he thought you meant 200 Morecambe fans in the home end, rather than 200 Bradford fans in the home end

he is usually supporting Brann but hopefully he will enjoy the can and come and see us again in the future

With being a Bank Holiday i reckon 5500 depends on how many Bradford have will be 3000 Morecambe easy 2 - 1 win

I'd be very surprised if it breaks the 4,000 mark. Bradford may or may not sell all their allocation but even if they do, there'll only be a maximum of 2,500 home fans. I think 600-700 extras would be pretty good going even for this game...

2500 Morecambe Fans
1600 Bradford Fans
