Attendance Guess...

[Linz]

Does anyone know if the piggies have sold all their tickets yet?

I'll go for 31,720 with the netting we'll have to use and the odd seat spare.

Any advances? Nothing but kudos for the winner

 

[matth]

30,053 is my guess. Hopefully a lot of stragglers will buy tickets today.

 

[sitwell]

28,472 and about 200k on sky

 

[sitwell]

and 20000 coppers on overtime.

 

[SotonBlade]

32,045 i reckon

 

[lenners]

Might scrape 27,500. Lowest derby crowd for several years sadly but when money's too tight to mention you can't charge those prices on a friday night when the match is on sky.

 

[davidpinder]

i,ll go with 29,862 don't think they sold out

 

[Robbie]

27,222......

 

[Selly]

28743.

You could do a Brokelads on it...

 

[dingledog]

31,600 is my guess, i do some who arent going because its a night match, strange but True.

Be careful, i said that and got abused.

Mind ya, it's coming from a piggy so you must be right

DJ... do you know how many tickets you lot have sold?

Genuine question... can't find any info about it.

 

[matth]

Trot on, DJ...

The official site says that the away end is sold out.

The segregation arrangements knock quite a few off the capacity and there are always season ticket holders and others who have tickets who just can't get to the game for one reason or another.

My guess is around 30,750.

 

[Micalijo]

A dreadfully humiliating, yet perfectly understandable, block of empty seats on Bramall Lane Upper - 28,612.

Linz, I'm a newbie so have no say in how you run your forum (which is great by the way) but can we at least get rid of DJ's avatar? Should this go in the "suggestions" part?

agreed, its pretty insulting considering it is a Blades forum

Shut up whining, it's only been like it for 3 years...

Also Linz, yep, as already said, officially sold out. . . . Finally

I'll have a guess of 30,756, we should still get over 30,000 for this 1. Whether it be on a friday night or because money is tight for a lot of people. Hope we don't get below this figure otherwise we will be hearing this from the piggies for the rest of the season. I know that it was a package but we both used to sell derby tickets this way in the nineties, which I think is a good idea instead of the glory hunter's ( just want to watch this match) being able to get hold of a ticket instead of the genuine fans who have been home & away this season.

The package deal doesn't make any difference to me as I have a season ticket. But I still think it's wrong. If I go to a cinema, I don't have to commit to paying for a film that they are showing in two weeks time.

I wouldn't worry too much, the pigs have struggled for years to get more than 25,000 of their own fans in for a derby. And consider that a club's stature is better defined by how many it can pull in on a Tuesday night against "QPR" (14,000 ) than how many plastics it can motivate for local derbies / finals.

UTB

 

[Sandmart]

29068 but I hope its higher

 

[Tickhillblade]

30231.

BU upper tier with large gaps.

 

[raul]

28428 - and is there a prize?

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

31,895 or there abouts

 

[frechyblade]

I don't think we'll make 30k 29,400 is my guesstimate

UTB

 

[Houso]

Another for the lower than 30k.

28373

 

[keenzy]

28,243

might be 27k though

 

[Nuttyboy]

I still hope we get over 30,000, but reading these threads there's a lot of you who don't think we will. I do think we might struggle to reach my target, with it being on a friday night, live on sky, also the missus wanting to go out or going out with the mates & being not a lot of money about at the moment. I'm not keen on Sunday kick-offs but at least we would get a larger crowd than tonight. I hope the red side of the city are smiling tonight at 10pm & I hope we do the double over those piggie ba----ds, so that we can give them the stick back from last season,which they don't like. They have got to be the most mardy people after defeat I've met. Up the RED & WHITE WIZARDS.
