Leyther_Matt Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 The strength of the side played in the EFL Trophy would suggest we'll be putting out our first choice side. Cheap tickets, easy enough to buy online and no doubt cash turnstiles as well. Club have done all that they can, but I understand those who are ducking out rather than committing to three home Saturday's in a row.

I agree it would be good if people turned out Definitely. No point in making the effort to watch us not try and compete. I can't believe how we treated the UEFA cup.....

That’s the reality. cost is fine, it’s Saturday at 3 and all transport is running......people just don’t want to go. Not making them bad just the reality I'm not disagreeing we care more about the league than the cup (and I like you love the FA Cup) but if season tickets included cup ties we wouldn't even be having this discussion. Attendance would be 11 or 12k and it wouldn't be commented on. If we get say 7.5k on that will be significantly more home fans than the 1st couple of league games this season, and it will be more than the Doncaster rearranged game. And that's 90% down to season tickets not being valid for those games. Its not because people cant afford it, its a "CBA" attitude to making the effort to buy a ticket when you can wait a week to just wander up to the gate.

Johnnyrotten Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 That's just reminded me that for about the first 10 years of me going to games, you had to collect tokens from the programmes to qualify for "big match" tickets. So for Everton away in League Cup Semi you needed about 20 programme tokens carefully cut out and glued to the official token sheet! S/Ts were virtually none existent, hence huge swings in crowds from 1 match to the next dependent on opposition, weather and form. Man U used to do the same, if you bought a programme for a previous game from club shop etc, the token number was erased. It was just assumed every fan would buy a programme in them days, now I dont know anyone that buys one. We stopped doing tokens around mid 80s when it became obvious we were deluding ourselves if we thought we were going to have a game, home or away, where demand might outstrip supply!

Mounts Kipper Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 It’s a great draw for us, good chance of progressing, might see a few goals and a game with no pressure where we can express ourselves. Looking forward to it myself, and all for a tenner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breightmet Boy Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I think only three members of my family are going to be in attendance and that's the lowest I reckon for over 40 years easily. Barring weddings of course. We usually have about ten at every home game at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cynic in me says that now mental health is (quite rightly) being taken far more seriously nowadays, some players might see it as an easy option to milk the system. FWIW, Alnwick's shit anyway.

Marc505 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Yorkshire based fellows... How are trains looking between Sheffield and Piccadilly at the moment? Some grim flooding scenes coming out of areas around Sheffield today. May be a Nottingham-Derby-Stoke-Manc situation if the "direct" trains are off.
