Just wanted to say i subscribed to BT sports knowing we will be featuring on there a lot this season, after finding out our first game was on BT i and others decided to stay home watch the game on TV have a few beers etc etc.
Now its only a week away i completely changed my mind and will be attending our first home game as watching on tv does not compare to being there, having a few beers in the queen vic, a pastie, the atmosphere and the club needing our support is the reason why.
So im urging anyone who is in two minds about watching on tv or going to the mem to get down the ground, on the terraces! and support the boys! you cant beat it!
UTG!!!!

Completely agree, let's rock The Mem and show this league what we've got (not too much or it might fall apart)

Watch it at home and save the dissapointment of traveling home after a defeat.
Cheaper too.

Given the choice I'd always go to a live game and not watch it on TV. More exciting and nothing beats the atmosphere of a Rovers home game where the kids might outnumber the adults!
We have a lot of games coming up in August and so maybe I can understand why some non season ticket holders might decide to watch the game on TV.

Watching on TV is a money saver for sure, hopefully going to the game will be money well spent.

If you can make it, any true gashead will be there.
First game will make a massive statement in terms of our support in the conference and atmosphere for away teams to contend with. One of the biggest games in our history.

The new players need to see the strength of the club that they have signed for and what better way than a bumper crowd for the first game. You can't make it tough for Grimsby from in front of a TV or behind a keyboard. You can only do that by making the atmosphere absolutely hostile for Grimsby and turning out in numbers.and it also looks a lot better for those who CAN'T get to the ground but see on the TV what great support we have.
Let's be 'avin' you!!!!!

I've got BT Sport and live a 2 hour drive away from the Mem but it's an absolute no-brainer for me. I'll be there and can't wait.

I'm glad a thread like this has been created because it would have looked like a 'I'm a true Gashead and your not' if I questioned why anyone would want to watch it on TV ahead of actually being at the game.
For me, if you support Rovers and can justify spending the money then there's no reason why you shouldn't be at the Mem. The new boys need our support and a good crowd could help us get the perfect start.
I can't wait. Bring it on.

I was up for contacting GTFC supporters to see if I could get a lift down (I'm 15 miles south of there). However once the TV appearance was announced I changed plans. I'll be in my local next week, where there are Premiership shirters aplenty but some may follow GTFC. Even though I know it makes no difference, I'll be shouting and singing with you all  Hope to meet up with some forumites at Lincoln and the Grimsby |

One of the biggest games in our history. Agree its important to go but to say its one of the biggest games in our history is a total water take. That game was Mansfield at home. We have 46 games to get out the league. |

Every Mariners game is on TV.
I still go to every home game though. If I was in Bristol next week I'd be going to the game, not watching it on the box.
There's a possibility I could be watching this with another Gashead. At a Port Vale supporters house. I think he might even
have played for PV a few many years ago.
The games on TV are for watching the games you can't get to, or won't usually frequent imho.

It is a statement of intent at a particularly important position in the clubs history where it could possibly be understood if people don't turn up but will be a great reflection on us supporters if we do have a bumper gate.If we can get a good crowd and perform well then it could lead on to good crowds for the season. The crowds WILL keep coming if the football is good to watch and if we get good results.

Just switched Broadband provider to BT. It takes 3 weeks for the phone and broadband to switch but they turned BT Sports on on our Sky box straight away.
We will record the game but we will definitely be at the Mem. That way we will get to see the game twice !!!!
It's also been declared a "must attend" game in our house. All 5 of us going. Usually it's 2 or 3, the kids have been given no choice.
We expect the team to give it 100% on the pitch, time for us to give it 100% off the pitch
