Wanderers to beat the scousers 2-1

 

no trip to wembley for Stevie G

Its not always the cost is the inconvenience

 

Fancy having the last train out at 9.30 when the game ends about then - what if it went into extra time?

 

Liverpool was bad having to leave a couple of minutes early then run for a taxi to make the last train back.

 

I would definitely been there Wednesday but for the shit transport. SHIT TRANSPORT SHIT FAN

They are upgrading the line, I doubt they give a dick about a few thousand scruffy scouse fucklumps trying to get home

Which is why we need to get behind them in greater numbers next season and help get us back to the Premier League. I know crowds don't always get you up - Leeds, Sheff Wed - but they certainly don't do you any harm.

I'd imagine can cancelling a night closure wouldn't come cheap

Thank you Traf

 

Mr Jack, you are obsessed about us getting big crowds

 

I'd relax if I were you.

I am a little. :-) I'm relaxed though, just want to see us become as good as we can be.

I'm not convinced on this. I've been on when there's 18k on and it's bouncing and full like a library. Part timers don't add that much in my opinion other than a few quid.

And Lennon knows we are on board.

Spot on.

 

I often also think this with away games too. I reckon 2k away is about critical mass for us. The additional numbers don't make much difference. For example Huddersfield last year and year before was much louder than this time in my opinion.

 

Anyway, thankfully only West Ham and Geordie's care about attendances and we always used to mock them for it.

We've never sold out in the grand scheme of things. Very rarely git over 27k,i know segregation plays it's part but that poor considering some of the games we've had in the last 10 years.

 

Therefore, get the money not the crowd. Fuck em!

Totally agree, i'm with the lower crowds better brigade.

We regularly sold out the biggest games Stevie, until Sam left. Every time we played United, Liverpool, and often Arsenal, Everton and City. And we only used to give about 3k to away fans back then. Our average was close to 27k in 2004...and always over 25k until the last 4 years or so before relegation. So the support is there.

They're floaters. Give it up, David.

As do we all

 

But those that won't / don't come to the Macron don't, so why bother with 'em

I know. The truly fickle fuckers I can't be doing with, I'd just like to maximise the number of those who just need a bit of a nudge to get along more often. Of which there are plenty. But enough, I'm boring myself now. To be continued no doubt though. :-)

Leave Mr Jack alone!

You can't knock is enthusiasm.

Should be given a job in recruitment

I'm not sure the support really is there from the early prem days.

 

It all came together at the same time ... football at its most fashionable, a shiny new all-seater, out of town stadium &  a premier league team on the up, but the novelty was always going to wear off for a large number of uncommited nu-fans.

Well not if you mean we never gave the whole ground over to BWFC fans...cos that's not allowed. We did have 27k home fans against Fulham at the end of 2003-04 season though, in a crowd of 27,500. And then we put prices up the next season, dodgy TV kicked in, and a year or so after that folk started bankrupting themselves on our European tours and the momentum was lost. Oh and then Megson arrived and that certainly killed a lot of the enthusiasm.

Depends how early you're talking. Even 9 years after moving we managed to get just short of 25,000 vs Fulham (24,919 on 11th Feb 2007).

David please please get over it. attendances don't matter. We won't sell out. It took tickets being £5 to sell out against athletico Madrid. In a competition we could only dream of being in for

Most fans. We aren't bad fans and we love a drink but we are small in number

The support built through those first few Prem years though. First couple of years we weren't getting massive crowds for the unfashionable teams - first home game back up on 2001 for example against Boro, a night match, was under 21k.

It's all about opinions Big E...let's agree to disagree. I admit I can sometimes be overly positive about our crowds...positivity's not a bad thing though is it (so long as it doesn't cross the line into delusional :-) ).

Gonna clean this thread up later as it's fucking boring and we (WW) will be losing fans.

mr jack doesnt like the idea of us making a bit of cash

 

he wants us all to get in for nowt and somebody else pay the fees and wages

Booooooooo

No, he just thinks there are ways of better maximising both.

So offer your services to the club as an economics guru. I'm sure the club doesn't throw a dart at a board and charge whatever number it lands in. They'll really know what number will work, not forgetting y that both clubs need to agree the set price.
