Why do we struggle to sell out v rovrum

As an exiled Blade with 2 sons who cant make that many home games I love the fact that we get very big crowds but very rarely completely sell out!

When I got my tickets for this one on Monday there were only singles available in the south stand.

Attendance prediction 30,812

There is never a game anywhere that truly sells out, even at Man Utd, otherwise the attendance would be the same every week and wouldn't need to be published.
You might not be able to buy a ticket, due to membership issues or loyalty points or whatever, but there's always a few spare seats somewhere at just about every game.
 
The Bramall lane upper tier is great. More seat legroom, it’s generally not packed so getting served at the kiosks pre match and at half time is a breeze. Minimal queues for the toilets at all times. I used to take it a little for granted until I was cast down into the hell that is the bramall lane lower tier vs Forest in the home leg of the play off first leg.

True...I was always in the BLUT corner stand during our league 1 days, great view, really enjoyed it.

I used to take my 10 year old grandson at the time and decided to get season tickets when we reached the Championship.
I offered to get my grandson a ST for anywhere in the ground.

He wanted to go in the Kop for the atmosphere and after checking out different places, he preferred it almost directly behind the goal, virtually the front row.
So for the past few years I've had a crap view of our general play but a great view of goal mouth action at the Kop end.
Goal mouth action at the BL end, can't see a thing ha ha. I always have watch the highlights of our matches back on SUTV.

Well you’re clearly a cracking Grandad - if that’s any consolation? 😂

Apart from the smell of pork given the new user and attendance driven angle, I'm seeing clips of daytime TV where the most welcome prize is having your utility bill paid for four months.

So whilst there might be a bit of point scoring going on, though it's only Wednesday and there are days left to buy tickets, a bit of sensitivity in these modern times might not go amiss.

That old guy, who might even post on here, could very well be deciding on having the heating on next month or going to the Lane.

I don't think people who perhaps can't afford to go should be somehow made to feel they are letting the side down!

TBF, pig or not, he has a point regards the BL upper. I have a ST in the BL corner also, and often wonder why it’s the last choice for games.

Great view - probably the best in the ground - but I imagine a fairly crappy atmosphere given it’s the last place to fill up, and where a lot of the freebies and promotions get put.

The upper tier was amazing in the late 90s/early 2000s when it was unreserved seating and a lot of the swearing section went in. But once people started moving elsewhere, the atmosphere quickly died - it felt a bit isolated from the rest of the ground, so if you weren’t generating noise yourself, it was pretty dire up there. The view wasn’t compensating enough for this, to G and H block we all went…

How's league 1 going?
Although I hear that you will be promoted next away match if you manage to take 3k fans away again.

Massive.

Absolutely correct, when we could get to games in the premier league that was the easiest place to get tickets. NY lads hated the atmosphere and would now rather sit on the kop even if it's a bad view

Yeh but the sacrifice is worth it for the little un. LOL
 
Hello there Mr Porker. A bit of advice for you, if you are going to pick a fight, at least pick one you can win. Even the most deluded of porkers can read the facts that our home attendances easily beat yours. You maaaaaaaaasive porkers are a joke. Jog on kid, there will be 30k plus at BTDBL this Saturday. Something you can only dream of.

Yes he's 15 now and we STILL sit behind the goal on the Kop.
I joke with him that he choose one of the worse views in the whole ground and he agrees and can we laugh about it now.

We occasionally think about moving but we know the other ST holders around us and have kind of got used to the poor view.

Just checked the SUFC ticketing site
Bramall Lane Upper tier central only 17 tickets left
Bramall Lane Upper tier corner only 10 tickets left
South Stand sold out
John Street stand near sold out
Kop pretty full already.

United fans often leave their ticket purchases until the last minute
So based on 3 more days of sales, should easily be over 30K and thats charging much higher pay on the day prices than at S6.

Wednesday can only break 30K in 2 scenarios.
Either the away team bring 5K fans or it's the last match of the season with something resting on it.

For Wendy’s to achieve 30k+ these days, they’ll have to exhume a few bodies.

I actually watched that team as a 10 year old kid, my first game was v Cardiff City on the kop with a 40 000 crowd , won 5 1, my dad was a pig and he took me to pigsborough aged 9 v Portsmouth 0 0 in front of just 11000 .check those facts if you can find em.but still why doesn't no one like the bl upper

What date was the Portsmouth match?
 
The BLUT is the reason I can take my youngest to the game ! He’s on the spectrum and as it not usually as full or loud he feels safe up there . He doesn’t cope well in other parts of the ground due to the noise and volume of people . Needless to say he isn’t going Saturday!!
As ever UTB !

Is it really a breeze to get a pint at half time in the BLUT? If so I might give it a try.

It won't be on Saturday with the increased attendance pal. The youths serving are just as slow as in other parts of the ground.

How far Rotherhams ground is from BDTBL is absolutely irrelevant.
They aren't, and never have been, our mortal enemies, just a team from somewhere close by.
This proximity is only an encouragement for the away fans (who have sold out their allocation)
As many others have said, the game will be a sell-out 🙂
