plodwhite Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Ridiculously hypocritical. We bought our success just the same as them with ED's money and gained just as many part time fans that bailed when the shit hit the fan as them. We had 10k on in 94. Two years later we had 18k. And at the reebok in the glory days we were pushing 27k. Now we are back to 10/11k. Just like Blackburn. DJ...we've had this debate a million times. Yes we do give loads of tickets away. This is a fact. People through the door last season averaged 10k including away fans. Hardly wanking tackle. Why do you have such a downer on our support, I am sorry without seeing your facts down in black and white I still disagree with you, how do you know how many free tickets we gave away? I only know for as long as I have followed Bolton (since the late 60's) I have always been impressed with our away support (Wrexham away divisioin4 for one) so i find your comments ridiculous, we will have to agree to disagree on this one Quote
tomski Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I disagree, considering our position and its on TV halloween parties maybe a small factor for some, how many other north west clubs(outside the premiership bigger ones) would take this many? I am going but if i am honest its more to do with the fact my Bolton supporting mate lives in Longridge and we are staying out in Preston after than it is watching us lose again, I think you are being harsh My post wasn't a call out to who isn't going. People can do what they want (no super fan here:)) But whatever way you look at it, it's a shit turn out. Quote
frank_spencer Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I was all set for going, but a look at my bank balance and the fact it's on the box means I'm a shitfan for this one. Quote
Casino Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 People through the door last season averaged 10k including away fans i don't believe that Quote
Guest Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Nothing beats a debt thread, except an attendance thread, led by Mr Attendance himself Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 The freebies always go to us who know our place, who know when to wring our caps, certainly not to rabble-rousing Bolsheviks. Quote

EyesRight Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 i don't believe that Average home attendance through the turnstiles (not on tickets bought or freebies given away) last season was 10,800. So with away fans, on average, we are probably adding 1500 to that. Figures came from a meeting I had with somebody at the club. Quote
Casino Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) can see that one so 12300 at 8.50 a ticket 100k a game 2.5 million a year through the gate the clever folk say wages should be at 50% of turnover if our only income was gate monies, that 1.25 million a year for wages 20 pros is less than 3k a week (EDIT - IGNORE THIS ITS MILES WORSE) we really are fcuking massive Edited October 28, 2015 by Casino Quote
Sweep Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 1.25 million a year for wages I expect Spearing and Medo earn at least that between them Quote
Casino Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 haha had to do abit - ill check it oh fcuk good job we've got the hotel and hot dogs! Quote
plodwhite Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 anyway no matter how many we sell still looking forward to it, (i will never learn) Quote
Ghana White Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 I thought we'd sell out but looking at it it's not a bad turn out really. 6 o clock kick off, sky TV and the fact were shit means that most people with any common sense will watch it on TV. It just means the piss heads are left. I'm looking forward to it. Quote

jonnycooper Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 yes i do, both home and away we have always had better support other than when they bought the premiership with walkers money and had a ground full of NEW fans. I also dont agree our support is "crap" given the clubs in our area and live Premiership football every other dayon TV I think we do reasonablly well, all clubs lose support when things are going badly. I was living in Oxford when they won the PL! I went into my local Newsagent and a girl of about 15 was behind the counter (Saturday girl)remember them...wearing a Blackburn top..Naturally I assumed she was from Blackburn so asked what part? Oh I've never been she replied,I just love Shearer and they've just won the League!! Quote
