18/04/10 - Sheffield Wednesday v. Sheffield United

[axel smeets]

It was last year, although they used it this season v Forest when they gave cheap tickets to the unemployed, so I think it is in use. However, I think that to be honest the police would like to use it as a no - mans land. With only 20000 of the great unwashed inside though, it shouldn't be a problem.

I think its 5300. There was the original 2800, + 2000,+300,+193. I think that comprises the entire Leppings Lane end bar the cheese slice. I would doubt that we would get the cheese slice as well, although with only 20000 home tickets sold so far they are definitley in a position to give us the corner.

The end + corner works out at around 8000 I think.

The corner can be in use when they decide so, normally for blades or the unemployed offers I think.

 

[SRBlade]

What about unelmployed Blades?

 

[axel smeets]

Question is, will they send us the corner?

 

[GC88]

I don't think united would be able to sell out the corner.

 

[axel smeets]

Yes, it has v t'scabs in September time. What I'm wondering is, will they send us an allocation for the corner, because they're only going to sell 70% maximum of their home tickets.

 

[chrisyb99]

If they keep sending us more tickets does this mean we are selling them all? Anyone know how many we have sold? Would rather they gave us say 6000 and we sold all them out than 8000 and there's blatant gapping spaces in our away support against our biggest rivals, id personally think that would be a tad embarrassing, just like we mock the Pigs for all there empty seats!

 

[Linz]

I think United have kept back all the restricted view seats until the end... so if there are any gaps, the whacking great bloody bits of scaffolding holding the roof up are to blame.

 

[axel smeets]

If they've kept the restricted view tickets back until now, that suggests to me that a further allocation won't be forthcoming. They should have sent us half of the North Stand too!!

[Lund-Blade]

If you see 7 misplaced fellows in the "restricted view" section come up and say hello! I will be there

Nope-Commentaries are available online in the UK only.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

What about unemployed Blades?

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

The corner itself or tickets for the corner?

Can't see them being able to afford the low loader to deliver it.

 

[axel smeets]

there is a sold out sign on the OS now, so I presume that that's it?

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

I remember coming out of the station near Lookers Ford and the street down to the ground was solid with fans, more than any semi there.

Be about half an hour after lick off when we agreed that the rumour the ground was full was true.

 

[DazBlade88]

Apparently they've sold 30,000 now, so it should be good. Less than 6,000 of us outsinging 30,000 of them as we beat them to put another nail in their coffin... perfect
