Crowd was 12,500 wasnt it? They brought 400 or so? How many STs did we sell in the end? That's Horwich's point. If they've sold 10000 season tickets then that's the starting point, irrespective of how many of them turn up to games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the crowd really was 12500 as announced then that's 10k or so STHs turned up + others. If 5k STHs didn't attend as he's suggested, then we missed out on a crowd of 17,500 for a midweek fixture v Doncaster. I dont see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With @medwaywhite’s missing four, two working, one living in York and my lad not doing midweek games we had 8 unused season tickets last night out of our 12 that sit around each other. In reality there’s not a huge amount that can change that - 23 games is quite a commitment, after all. The key is the club continue to prioritise ST holders so that people continue to feel appreciated enough - and remain financially prudent - to carry on renewing regardless of missing games over the season.

Yeah I get all that and one of our group was missing last night too. Midweek fixtures in December when you're on a poor run of form are notoriously low attendances. I'm just perplexed at the assertion that as many as 5000 STHs were missing. Certainly, i imagine there were very few casual fans there last night.

DazBob Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 It looked very sparse from where I was ... which made mongo corners singing of "Your support is fucking shit" to Doncaster a tad embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Horwich Posted November 24, 2021 Moderators Share Posted November 24, 2021 There was also a chant of “we’re fucking shit, we’re fucking shit” in mongo corner 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted November 26, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted November 26, 2021 Maybe just like many people on phones, UoB Voice man just doesn’t get that he has no need to shout into a microphone. I get he adds a bit of excitement into his voice but he is a bit shouty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Most microphones of that nature automatically cut out if the noise level goes past a certain point. Trouble is, those on the mic hear it cutting out and just shout all the more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
