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

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.

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

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!!
