Hillsborough Attendance

[Deepred]

Had an Owls supporting colleague asking why we didn't sell out and was then sent a picture of the away end upper tier with two large blocks of seats virtualy unoccupied. Was this the case from anyone there and if so does anyone know why?

Because they didn't give us those tickets. It's that simple.

Surely anyone with half a mind would know it's segregation, to prevent people lobbing stuff/spitting etc, doesn't take Einstein to figure it out

 

[Cheets]

Yeah it went to General Sale and ballot and still didn't sell out. There's been no-one begging for tickets at all. I was as surprised as anyone.

 

[Isar]

Where are these empty blocks?

It sounds like classic salty pork excuses for losing again. Ironic as they only came to see United with the ground half empty at 85 minutes.

It doesn't go to a ballot if reaches general sale. We sold out on first day and the rest went into the ballott

Do you have half a brain?

It was a joke.

Apologies.

Woooooooooshhhhh!

Thing of beauty some of those scenes.

It's a regular problem for us at hillsborough. For example read this blog and watch the video from 2017. Empty seats disgrace on this one too

Do we have anymore videos showing half empty awayends at hillborough ?

Good crowd 50k tbf, it’s not many sides would have 62 thousand on a Sunday

 

[blade67]

Was it anything to do with Health and Safety?

Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough Leppings Lane end has capacity reduced| All Football

Hillsborough's Leppings Lane end will have its capacity reduced from 4,700 to 3,700 following a review into an unsafe 'crush' during Sheffield Wednesday's FA Cup third round tie with Newcastle in January.

At least 3 boxes didn’t take up their allocation for the game today. Very strange.

Health & Safety rules. Because the sty is neither Healthy or Safe

70 thousand in the championship is impressive to be fair

 

[Proper Blade]

Is there any reason why Wednesday fans didn't make any noise whatsoever today? One of the worst home atmospheres I can remember for a Sheffield derby.

 

[Gyp the blade]

I worked there a good 20 years ago and the west corner stand was condemned then never to be used again it all rotted all the ground is rotting away. Good old mr Tuna charges his own football club 3.4 million pounds per season to play there obviously paid directly in his own account. He’s got lucky with his appointment of sausage roll or this game would have never happened because they were relegated. Sausage roll is a decent manager and has worked miracles for Wendy’s then gets chucked under a bus by tuna man mark my words he’s gone at the end of the season

I know the levels can be dodgy at the lane, but they’ve potentially harmed my hearing today, the majority of half time…

You forgot the 30k Wendys at QPR, watching the beamback.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Don’t they normally give both tiers to away fans?

120 decibels sustained throughout the 90 minutes is seriously intimidating. No wonder they powered to another moral victory.

From a health and safety inspector.

Thought the same mate.. heard mice make more noise

Not to us, they're scared that if we get the whole away end we'll beat them. Gotta laff....

 

[Tezza1889]

BTW.. they didn't sell out today..empty seats at the kick off all over the ground..

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Not to us, they're scared that if we get the whole away end we'll beat them. Gotta laff....

But they do to everyone else, presumably to boost their home attendances?
I mean in comparison to us, who haven’t given the BLUT to away fans for long time now.
