On there twitter feed it looks like they do a daily update on number of tickets remaining - maybe our club should do some interacting with fans in this way

There is a BWFC official tickets page, who do provide daily updates.

Sometimes a bit unresponsive though.

Why? Apart from you and Ticket Office Dan, who really gives a shit?

In all our poor seasons recently we have never dropped below 12k, even if we just had 12k, which there won’t there’s an extra 5k coming from Brum.

 

So that’s 17k, with the absolute minimum number of bolton fans.

So with £1 tickets, decent form, easter holidays for some, 20k very possible.

 

To be honest though, don’t really care just want the win, but just trying to bring some light to the debate.

You do know they include all season ticket numbers?

 

Indeed. I'm sure somebody said over 1000 ST holders didn't turn up for the Villa game, ST numbers will always be included in the attendance, even if they don't turn up, as the seat is actually "sold"

 

I do know that somebody on this site does, on occassion, get the numbers that do actually pass through the turnstiles. I'm sure that on at least one occassion, during the season that we got relegated from the Championship last time, that there were actually less than 10K home fans on in the ground

Got to be that midweek Charlton game when we were both doomed. Find it easier to get up for work in the morning that I did going to that.

There would have been way more than 1,000 season ticket holders missing against Villa. Most clubs generally consider 15-20% to be the norm, especially as we’ll have a lot of the cheap kids ones missing on weeknights especially.

Kids holiday, £1 a kid.

 

We got shit loads on against Grimsby and athletico for similar reasons.

No we didnt, the reason we got 24,000 Bolton fans on v Grimsby, 23,000 v Chesterfield last season and a sellout  v Madrid was that adult prices were £5.

 

Reducing the adult price to £15 as it is v Birmingham doesnt have that effect.The outstanding result  v Villa and £15 tickets might get home sales up around the 15,000 mark

They'd have sold about 800 if it wasn't

we have all seen them tip up with 4/500 before now

 

But tbf they have been traveling well this season

 

Suppose being a big supported club like them they can turn out for the big games

They only bought that many on last day season iirc.

 

I saw us draw 3-3 at reebok and they had about 500 on. Mind you so did we :D

 

They're utterly wank at home too considering the size of their city.

Whatever the pricing structure/reasons, it's a cracking effort to bring almost £5k on a Tuesday night considering we've been slow in comparison to sell 2500 for Leeds on Good Friday under similar circumstances

Correct, we didn't even take that to them for that FA cup game
