Amazed the bloke to my left has kept it on given he (and no-one else) didn't attend any games post Spurs.

 

Directly behind the two goals is sparse as anything, about 25% coverage max.

Buy some f***ing players and people might buy a ticket, it's not rocket science

 

Nah, its all about just staying stuff and expecting people to buy into a crap faulty worhtless product thats goes nowhere.

That's been their policy up till now but people are no longer buying it. 

 

Understrength squad, play for a month in the first part of the season to secure survival and then give up, loads of tickets available for every game often cheaper than season ticket holders have paid - there is no reason to buy one.  On that basis it makes more sense to pick and choose games.

 

If they play well, people will buy a ticket but fans need to be convinced.  The club have cried wolf once too often and no-one buys their promises any more.

Sadly lots still buy their lies, its reassuring that more and more are waking up though. Anyone blindly renewing really is stupid tbh

One good season again and a lot of those people will be back again. That's the sad thing.

Must be fairly depressing sitting directly behind the goals. All you get there are close-ups of the opposition rattling yet another one into the net. :lol:

Probably don't even need a good season. If we signed a player, or won against Southampton, people will immediately forget everything. Simpletons rule the roost unfortunately.

Would love to know the figures. Pretty much the whole of the back blocks of the Gallowgate and Leazes are empty.

Can't be correct. That added up to 36k seats before the extension. Aren't the stands behind each goall 11k approx?

No, lots just like to go to a game of football at the weekend, is more accurate I would suggest.

Even if those figures are right, the implications for the crowd in general could be fairly serious. Who knows what percentage of game-by-game fans will turn up?

 

Until Keegan came in as manager I never contemplated a season ticket, was always pay at the gate, it was actually my Mrs who bought me my first ST as she was fed up at how early I had to leave home to make sure I got in :)

How does that compare to previous seasons HF, do you know? And why is the capacity only 24k in that overview? I always thought season ticket holders accounted for close to 40k of ticket sales.

 

Club won't announce previous seasons.  they won't comment on this season hence why I have to count to 26000 on 2 hands.

 

Once I add in the 4 corners I expect it'll be over 30,000.

 

The lower tiers are obviously among the most densely populated too.  That massive family enclosure encourages many, but you're still a mile away and numbers will be worse up there.
