Whats the crowd going to be ?

[skegblade]

@25k
Sky instructed not to show the empty sections and people will be leaving ten minutes before the end

Doubt we have authority over what sky show on tv,shown hundreds leaving in our prem denacle ,also at many other clubs
Was Shocked at the amount of empty seats myself,long way from skeg for a televised night match

Just had a look at Porktalk myself. Attendance FC are in full flow.

That's the only metric they're close to us on, so they're clinging to it.

The crowd last night was 93 behind the Porks average attendance and we didnt give City the full allocation
They've nowt to come going down that route.

Looking at wembley prices, eve charging 25.00 for blue badge parking ,40.00 car 120.00 bus plus high match tickets, plus its london dearest shit hole on earth, think we will do 30 out of 35 000,and we will never here he the last of it from porklandI

Who cares? Not a dig at you per se, but really, who cares? I'd rather we win the game with 30k there than lose, but be able to say "ah, but we took 45 thousand to wembleh!"

Without being Billy big bollocks, we've been in and out of the premier League several times in the last few years, and been to Wembley a few times too. It's expensive and linked with disappointment, so for some, they can't afford it, or don't want to go through it emotionally, so won't go.

I get that.

They've done fuck all for 25 years +, so of course they'd sell out. The difference is that they weren't good enough to get there. We're good enough as a club, that as supporters we get to choose.

Who the fuck cares what that tinpot club thinks, we’re at Wembley with the chance to dine at the top table again, new owners who may actually give it a go, balls to them get your ticket enjoy the day

pig fans will make the most out of it but theyve got 20k part time fans who only go to the glory games like barnsley 2 years ago they dont turn up to support their team through the regular season i actually think we will sell our 35k allocation for wembley and think we will win utb ftp

 

[Pintor75]

As long as we get promoted I couldn't care less about the attendance

I reckon we will win it too and myself and 2 daughters will be

You hear this a lot but the FA and clubs will just say the evidence suggest otherwise.

Take Liverpool. If it was £30 a match they’d have over 100K wanting to buy tickets.
At £40 they’d have 80K trying to buy tickets. At £50 they’ll have 60K wanting tickets, at £100 they’d have 25K wanting tickets.
Their ground has a capacity of 60,000, so pricing tickets at £50 is economically accurate.

If people think there needs to be price caps then stop going….its the only way the FA will act…..if several of their games are well under capacity
But we’re a long way from that……if anything….the prices are going up and football is even more popular with even more demand.

No one seems to like it, but you’re absolutely spot on with what you posted.

It’s just never going to happen, clubs will only reduce prices when there are empty seats. Which doesn’t seem likely any time soon.

If anything I can see prices getting much higher, we seem to be following the American sports model and the prices over there are crazy!

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

Rather unfair of the club to not open BLUT until the more expensive SS and JSS only had single seats remaining.

I’m sure it wasn’t the intention to penny pinch, but for a family of 4 that’s another 8 quid, not a small amount considering the extra cost of the Bash match and a probable Wembley appearance.

This decision is the reason people are sharing pics of the BL end today ripping our support. Wouldn't have looked so bad if spaces were spread about rather than focused on one part of the ground.

Wembley is an expensive trip, at 3-0 up I totally get why some decided to save their money in all honesty.

East Side at Wembley = Browned off with the sun...and possible being browned off with result.

Look at this ellbend.

26,560 this year despite being an average of 10% more than Uniteds tickets.

28,120 for them having not left the top 2-3 for the entire season.

away from home we sell out 95% of our games - they never manage one.

and that thread already contains a world of crap about how ‘restrictive ticketing’ will prevent them selling Wembley out.

get it right at Hillsborough and we’d smash 40-50k a week in the top flight. They’ll never go any higher than they are now.

bigger club? Wednesday ALL day long.

better team - them for now.

It's cost £90 for me, my brother and nephew to attend tonight - against Forest 3 years ago, it was half that price. I know unofficial communication from the club have said we pushed for cheaper tickets, but ultimately I think this has been the biggest factor for people not attending.

I’ve heard that the club wanted £15 a ticket but other clubs voted for £30. If that was the case why weren’t tickets £30 in all the stands? The money is shared between the clubs so why have higher prices in all other areas bar the kop if we wanted cheap prices?

 

[Gimli]

If the definition of ‘bigger club’ means they have more day tripper fans who find their old Sanderson shirts in the wardrobe and make their way down to Wembley once every 10 years for a play off against Hartlepool then they’re probably a bigger club.

Happy to let them have that one.

Average home attendances over the past 15-20 years suggests otherwise.

Why stop at 50,000? I reckon they'd average a million easy in this hypothetical fantasy world.

They never grasp that lots of day trippers turning up to the odd game never translates into sustained support. They won a unbelievably dramatic play off campaign and still the day trippers didn't stick around the following season.

It's easy to say "if we were as good as United we'd do this and that" when you know you're so far away from it. The facts are they have lower attendances than us and haven't averaged 30,000 since the 60s. Everything else is speculative
