Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 There is a lot of buzz around Swansea for the game mind. I think the Swans fans will be up there in numbers. Say if I did come up and try to get a ticket in the home end being a Toon supporter like would I get a kickin on that day when people hear my accent thinking I am some kind of plant? A mate is running a stage do that weekend and I've been invited. Now there are two reasons I am reluctant. 1. Visiting a city when your hometown club are playing could be dangerous especially if things get heated on the pitch. 2. I couldn't really go up with them and when the go to the game I say "terra" boys I'm heading for the Gallowgate. Either way I may end up battered.... I've got the other problem - will I be able to get tickets from the box office for the Toon end for Cardiff and Swansea away seeing as my address is South Wales? Could always get them sent to the parents house, but running the risk of post delays then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 have to say, I was quite impressed with the Wednesday fans last night, until we scored and they died down. This opinion turned to "sad cunts" though when they started petty "only one Mike Ashley" chants with about 5 minutes left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I thought it was higher tbh. still a cracking turn out. Mid week, in the championship, an owner who doesn;t want us, a semi broken team with a possibility of more player sales. GOOD TURN OUT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Micktoon Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 One in the eye for the fuckers who said no one would turn up, considering the summer we've been through thats superb. Couldn't give a fuck about the makem comparisons, it's good to show the whole fucking country they were wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macphisto Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Further evidence if any was needed that our support is the most attractive reason for someone to invest in the club! Hard to believe some people on here think that the half-baked protests at home to Hull last season put some investors off, bums on seats is much more important for someone looking to buy the club.

Tisd09 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Your mates would beat you up? They're a good bunch!! Ha ha!! Nah, I wouldn't get beat up but I would be the bullied one whole trip unless from the off I go all Joey Barton on one of them, that should buy me some peace!!!

NG32 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 It's pleasing to know 43k went to the game on a Wednesday, against Wednesday! Glad we won to keep them happy, it would be nice to get the full 52k just to smash the attendance record at some point this season. If we keep winning, ashley Fs off, make a couple of signingsand we have a manager (sheaer) then yeah it can be done. People will always come and watch winning football.

Yorkie Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I genuinely think we'll reach 50k if we keep on winning games, particularly the home ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Actually agree with one of the makems - "excellent crown - now f*** off" It is an excellent crowd. But lets move on, eh ? I'd prefer to have digs at some of the other clubs who attacked us - doing the national rags bidding Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoreboard82 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Excellent attendance. Let the whole world laugh at our problems, but no way can they criticise us, the fans. I know Ashley is doing his best do sicken us, but let's keep it up. Good away support tonight, but a lot of fans of other clubs in the division see Newcastle as their big day out.

Guest trig111 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 My Doncaster season ticket holder mates have this game as huge like. My mates Son's made him cancel a holiday to tenerife as it clashed with the game & they refused to miss this one. Doncaster will bring its biggest ever following i reckon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Broon Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Mackems will have had more than that at some point 44,448 v Burnley in 2007 (their average that season was 31,000) If we can get 50k plus at some point it'll probably be the first time since Man U in the 70s there's been a +50k attendance outside of the top flight.

What crowds were Man U getting that season? I.e. the average crowd and the highest crowd? Their average was 48,389. Don't know what the high and low was. Btw, we already hold the record (probably the world record) for the highest average attendance outside the top flight of 56,283 in 47/48. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp40 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 caller on the legends rekons people were locked out and turned away on weds night. He says the cash turnstiles were closed and people were sent home. He also said some people saw the size of the ques and just turned around. i klnow where i was sitting (L7) people were coming in for most of the first half, and there was lots of argy bargy over people sitting in others seats. if it had beebn better organised, maybe we could have got near 50k. either way, what people need to realise is you have to get there very early when theres cash turnstiles, and someone needs to persuade the club to KO at 8pm.
