Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 A mackem mate mine keeps claiming most of the seats in the Leazes end are free tickets. He claims Lowick Football club are offered 100 for each game. I assume this is absolute bollocks? I'd quite like to see them give away 200-300 free tickets to different youth teams around the area each home game. Could take 200-300 corporates out and put normal seats in there to compensate.

Heron Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 "All 4,000 tickets for the visitors section in the South Stand have now been sold and no further space will be allocated to Newcastle fans. As of Monday, Reading had sold 20,500 tickets - ground capacity is just over 24,000." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 While tonights crowd was poor, it still doesnt take away the fact that we have been consistently showing up 95% of the Premier League with our crowds this season, despite being in the Championship. The thread title is still valid imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, what difference does that make? Just 2 weeks and 2 days ago against Derby County we had 47,000 at the game, so for our crowd to drop by 32,000 is horrendous.

Superior Acuña Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Don't think it's dropped in that time, it's dropped due to the fact it was 3rd round FA Cup, replay, against Plymouth, on a Wednesday and we played a half reserve team in the first game. I wasn't there because it's a Wednesday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't there because it's a Wednesday. Fair enough some people can't make midweek games, but a 30'000 drop is ridiculous, FA Cup replay or not. Well done to the 15'000 to bothered tonight.

Dr.Spaceman Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Really, really give a shit. Why has this become a major talking point? It makes me laugh that fans use it as something to get at each other. It's fucking pathetic when you think about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 i didn't go, i could say i was up at 3am and done a 10hour shift but when it comes down to it i wasn't going to pay to watch a match where all i'm bothered about is players not getting injured or suspended, stuff the score!

It makes me laugh that fans use it as something to get at each other. It's f***ing pathetic when you think about it. it's not pathetic at all, it's for the most part all fans have. few teams will win anything, marginally more will start the season thinking they can win something so the comradre and loyalty of it is all there is.

pedro111 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I think you also have to factor into tonights attendance the fact that the club have done pretty much everything apart from come out and say directly that they wish we werent in the FA cup this year. Our fans have heard this and obviously arent mugs. Well, all those except us who payed 20 quid to go and watch it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Wednesday night, crappy replay against a crappy Championship team. It's cold, the chances of us playing a weakened team was high - what do people expect? A 52000 sell-out? Have a word man, all cup attendance are low these days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 our attendances have been truly fantastic this season. i'm so proud of the way our supporters have stuck by the club this season - one match doesn't get rid of that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I think that was the number of of tickets sold before the game via the box office, and it doesn't include those who payed on the turnstiles, so the figuer maybe a few thousand higher then that.

Teasy Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 BUMP. Thread title proved wrong tonight. 15K there, absolutely fucking woeful. Yet in our next game it'll be proved right again We didn't lose support in two weeks, FA cup isn't included in a season ticket. So no doubt absolutely loads of them decided not to pay extra for a shit game they care almost nothing about in shit weather on a Wednesday night (and with level 7 closed which was an off puter to me personally). Just look at the other FA cup attenances recently, I think every game yesterday came to 30,000 combined. Personally I expected our attendance to be 20,000 and IMO that would have been good in the circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
