Big Geordie Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I've met Wallace at the Fans Forum on Total Sport, before. Decent fella Those videos are a hard watch, but they ring true. I'm getting the shared on my FB feed as well as the TF Group. This is about hearts and minds and it CAN be done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 My mum's been going 51 years. She's not going to Spurs and won't be renewing in the summer unless a decent manager is appointed. good on her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Awesome. But yeah very depressing. Got loads of respect for the lads chucking it after 20 odd years My dad packed it in last summer and all he ever talks is NUFC. His main source of conversation with people for the last 20-odd years has turned sour. Whole thing's fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Bad news, I've just had a look at tickets online and there doesn't seem to be that many gaps. Most of the gaps seem to be towards the back of the stands, level 7 isn't on sale at all, not sure if that down to them being sold though. If level 7 is already sold out then I can't see it being less than 48,000. Of course how many people already having a ticket compared an don't go will alter numbers, but sales of tickets don't seem to be that bad for the club. Edit: Looking again it seems as though ticket sales are comparative to Swansea and WBA tickets sales, level 7 for those matches is also unavailable for purchase.

Mattoon Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 If we're close to capacity after all this then there is no hope, a real driving force is at work here and we have several different fans representatives all pulling in the same direction, when does that happen? If we can't evoke emotion right now, what hope do we have? I've just replied to a post on AO.com to someone saying we should be supporting the team and the real test for the regime is in the summer when they hire a permanent coach, we should wait until at least Christmas before we consider a boycott?!? #Wait 8 years of the same wool being pulled over your eyes and you're still advocating real tests and patience?

Try to keep in mind that a majority of people boycotting will be season ticket holders, there's no doubt in my mind that there'll be less than 48k.

There's no way level 7 would be anywhere near sold out, they've obviously stopped selling tickets up there to try force people buying tickets into the more visible seats lower down. Encouraging sign imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Wouldn't surprise me if they have stopped selling tickets up there to reduce the number of stewards needed. The beauty of zero hours contracts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 If going to the match and getting out of the house and out with the lads is what its all about just go out with your match going mates and watch it in the pub and get pissed and feel good about it afterwards ,mate at work cancelled his direct debit after Sunderland game only realised it fucks up his direct debit so had to restart it so is there any way to get out of it after renewing in February ? You can just cancel your DD, you just lose the money paid since Feb. So not in breach of DD if he cancels now ,shirley short and curlies by law or they would lose out till next year ?

Village Idiot Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 How many ST holders are there? Around 40,000 I'd guess? Probably only a small % of tickets actually go on sale every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 How many ST holders are there? Around 40,000 I'd guess? Probably only a small % of tickets actually go on sale every game. It's less than that now. Around 33-34k I think. If you look at the stadium plan as soon as a match goes on members sale there's at least 15k spare seats to choose from not including the 3,200 greyed out for what the away team are entitled to.

mickthemagpie Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Out of 18 people i would count as match going friends or family 6 of us are definitely not going. probably 2 or 3 waverers.

midds Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 If they leave level 7 empty there had better be a shitload of images on social media. Isn't that where the Family Enclosure is though? They've banged on about how cheap it is up there for an adult and a kid and I'm sure there's at least 7000 tickets sold as STs up there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I had a look at the east stand yesterday and there were some pretty big unsold gaps. so either they've sold a load since yesterday afternoon or stiflers talking shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Just checked, east stand leazes corner end looks half empty. Back of the Gallowgate is half empty. L7 is off limits to check so guessing bar ST's its fairly empty. Corporates are half empty either side of Ashley Leazes is half empty nearer the boxes and 1/3 nearer the front. Rest is up to ST holders to stay away. By empty I mean currently unsold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 There is no need to go to this match. People need to look at themselves in the mirror and ask themselves, if they really are nufc fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest is up to ST holders to stay away. By empty I mean currently unsold. Looks like around 40k sold so far plus whatever Spurs bring. If 15k season ticket holders stay away it'll be sub 30k. Our lowest ever PL crowd is just over 32k which was due to the reduced capacity when the Gallowgate was being rebuilt. In fact we are the only club in the history of the Premier League never to have had an attendance of under 30k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypnufc Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Dont forget, the club will announce its attendance inclusive of all tickets sold. A different number of attendees has to be provided by law to the local authorities (Police/Fire/Ambulance etc) due to fire regs/safety. Due to the Freedom Of Information Act people can obtain this information if they request it. Will be interesting to find out what the actual attendance will be.
