davidjack Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Will they hold up? We averaged 18k this season, which was very good, considering we were shite for two thirds of the season. Depends on the start I guess...get off to a good one and I'd like to think we'd be getting something similar - even around the 20 mark if we're up near the top.

smithills_gent Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 What a turn out what a team as they used to sing.Didn't they say in the press 8,500 season tickets have already been sold.If so i'd be expecting similar crowds next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I would expect the crowds to stay fairly stable, I certainly don't see them dropping off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazBob Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Depends how we start I reckon. I think there should be quite a bit of optimism around so hoping to see decent crowds from the off ... but get off to a bad start though and there'll be booing and "You don't know what you're doing" aplenty and we'll be down to 15k-16k crowds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrandt Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The decent end to the season should mean more season ticket sales that I was expecting back in February. Most optimistic end to a season for a few years. 18,000 average was pretty good given the dire season till February. Should hold up next season, especially if we manage a good start and if DF makes some astute signings & changes this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyesRight Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 A few who came to the Blackpool game are looking at getting their first season tickets since Burnden that I know. Could have been giddy, drunken talk though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhanley Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I suspect for the first month or two we will be getting either side of 16000 rather than either side of 17000 which is what we had for much of this season. If we start doing well, we'll be back up to this season's average and maybe a bit more. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piemon Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 funny that most of the JCLs on Saturday fucked off for a pint/moan when Blackpools 2nd went in. I honestly dont see the point in coming then fucking off when the chips are down. id expect the normal 17k-18k until we have a good run again.

oggybwfc Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Think we might lose a few Kids,due to no more 49quid tickets,saying that though my lad has enlisted 5 from his School to join his "Firm" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghana White Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 What surprised me this year was that the demographic especially at away games seems to have changed a bit with more drunken lads then in the premier and more young lads turning up. Whilst were in this division that's the way we'll get new fans. Lads telling their mates at school/work that it's a laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly dont see the point in coming then fucking off when the chips are down. id expect the normal 17k-18k until we have a good run again. I went down for a pint just after their second goal. To be fair I'd have probably stayed there had I been in North Lower as normal, but I was right at the side of the Blackpool fans and couldn't be arsed with their crowing. Our crowds this season have been a pleasant surprise, and I don't see any reason for that not to continue given our form at the start of the season. Not as if we're losing any big away followings from the average either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted May 8, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2013 i still think its a backward step putting kids prices up so much the 11 i was paying for mine was a joke, fair does, but that 49 quid ticket looks to be working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then calli Players/managers/tactics because they have paid £25/£30 for the biggest game of the season. I for one wont be too arsed over crowds next year. bigger isnt always better Edited May 8, 2013 by hughesy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully the spot I usually have in NSL is pretty much the only seat around there that isn't a season ticket holder. There is one bloke though who had a real vendetta against Petrov, and has since transferred it to Pratley...he's basically become a parody of himself this season given Pratley's improvement! He knows it as well to be fair and has just ended up taking the piss out of himself to save face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lads telling their mates at school/work that it's a laugh It's much more of a laugh to go to a game when there's a chance of not getting dicked. Especially if there's of a chance of celebrating a few goals. Plus it's a chain effect, there's more general folk going, which makes it more enjoyable for 'lads' to go as there's a bit more of an atmosphere. And the general folk probably go cause there's more lads going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
