ToonArmy1892 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Are you still tracking the ticket sales, geordie b? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Just had a look, this is going to be less than Arsenal, hopefully under 45k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzgerald Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hopefully. I imagine Watford will only bring 1500 so there's 1500 less on the gate straight away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 EDIT - JUST REALISED THAT WE ARENT PLAYING WATFORD THIS WEEKEND SO THIS POST ISNT ENTIRELY ACCURATE. LEAVING IT UP AS AN UPDATE AND I WILL POST AGAIN NEXT WEEK WITH CORRECT PREDICTIONS Sales for Watford look interesting. The away section (plus segregation) currently has 4074 tickets showing as sold/unavailable but we know nowhere near that will attend If you take the away fans, press, corporate boxes, directors area, sensory room (6,880) from the stadium capacity (52,156) you are left with 45,276 tickets As of last night (Sunday 18th 11pm) - 9843 tickets are currently available - 13264 were available when the tickets went on sale - Under 800 tickets have been sold in the 7 days since the Arsenal game For reference, in the run up to the Arsenal game 500 tickets were sold everyday so even with this unlikely rate of sales 7000 tickets will be unsold So based on 7000+ available seats PLUS Unsold away section PLUS Season ticket holders staying away We are looking at an official attendance of around 43k and a true attendance probably nearer 40k And its just the 2nd game of a potentially car crash season... EDIT - Just realised we dont play Watford this weekend so my post isnt entirely accurate, however I expect the final numbers to be similar to my predictions. Im leaving the post up for now but will update again this time next week Apologies, been really busy The stats for tomorrow (As of 2pm today) are - 8473 tickets are currently available, 7824 of them are in general fan areas (ie not away fans, press, corporate boxes, directors area, sensory room) - 13264 were available when the tickets went on sale - 4791 tickets have been sold since they went on sale - 2215 tickets have been sold since the Arsenal game, - The away sections (4074) are still showing as sold out So based on 8000+ available seats PLUS Unsold away section PLUS Season ticket holders staying away We are looking at an official attendance of around 44k and a true attendance probably nearer 40k Last years attendance was 49,157 despite having just 3 points from 10 games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzgerald Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Nice work. That is progress and the boycott is definitely working. A drop of between 5-9k already is tremendous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzgerald Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Yep. There has been a massive drop off in interest in games home and away this season. And people say the boycott won't work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Slowly but surely people are drifting, it's just taking a bit longer than we'd like. Possibly under 45k for the first Sat 3pm of the season is promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 See I was there today, and there was definitely only about 40k there (official attendance was 44k). Huge sections dotted around everywhere with empty seats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandamninator Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 It's "embarrassing" according to this dullard. Best part is reading his replies, he doesn't even go to the games himself because he "can't afford it" but calls out people for not spending hundreds on season tickets. Also thinks he can call himself a journalist because he just got a degree in journalism and writes for a blog. What a weapon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durhamunigeordie Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Maybe slightly sad but have requested official attendance figures from Northumbria Police. Have a vague recollection that the club are required to let the police know how many actually in the ground for health and safety reasons. Not sure if Freedom of Information Act applies here (and don't have time to look into it) but thought worth a try out of interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you get it and sometimes you don't, possibly depending on whether the particular police force can be bothered. If memory serves, someone got it for Man Utd, but when someone else was trying to get it for Arsenal, they were turned down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
