20k expected Saturday
Be nice to have a decent crowd to support our manager for a change.

Re: 20k expected Saturday
27,000 would be better. Our lucky number. Get the word out.

Re: 20k expected Saturday
I'm surprised how deep the malaise has set in at The club.
The team and manager deserve far more than 20k given their heroics of recent months. I have offered a few people the £5 tickets but nobody seems to want them

If you've followed our club for any length of time, you'll already know how notoriously fickle / fragile our support can be.
With enough promotion / marketing etc through the Echo, we could easily get over 20k. (Remember the all conquering Burnley 0-2 in 1988? and before my time, a Hereford one which drew 35k after their Manager's comments?).
With the print media sadly at an all time low however, it all comes down to word of mouth and social media. We can all do our bit there.
Such is the attitude of the area however, I think we all know that if this was a Premier League game, it would already be sold out.

It was 16k and it was about 1992 i think. A bit of a mad day.

I think Dave's point was that none of that happened in 1988 - Gringo's right, it was 1992, Feb 29th as it goes and the crowd was 16.030.

You know he is referring to the 91/92 game where IIRC Conroy and Randall scored for Burnley. They brought 800 on the Grange end yet it was reported they brought 8,000. The crowd was 16,000 or so

Re: 20k expected Saturday
I'm afraid that some of those who were regulars until the rebrand won't come back now as they have found other things to do
and dare I say would feel they were losing face if they did come back.

Re: 20k expected Saturday
Remember March 1961? The all conquering Spurs?? Over 40,000 I think, the bob bank was rammed full.

Congratulations. You should try to pass some of your knowledge on to Arfur. He's clueless.

Of course. My last season living in Wales. Our playoff hopes finally ended on a Tuesday night at Ninian Park by a 1-1 draw with Crewe. I think we had two 20+ goal scorers in that team too.

Gareth: In Way of the Dragon.
Simon: Correct. At last.

Point of order.
1975 Malcolm Allison , Palace manager made comments about size of our crowds. For the relegation battle a day or two later we had a crowd of 25k for the relegation battle with them. Thanks too to Peter Jackson who bigged the game up in the Echo.

Alison made comments about our crowds after we beat them at selhurst in 1975 front of 25000 i think the relegation game was 1974, we drew 1-1 and they went down, we had the last laugh with promotion at their expense and 35000 against Hereford

I was at that Palace game in 1976 - for the first time I saw us dominate an away game and Adrian Alston scored a late winner. Allison used to wear a fedora, and when he was popular so did the Palace fans. On the way out the ground was littered with trampled fedoras.
In midweek we had 35,000 plus for a match against Hereford who were also challenging at the top. Allison's comments were one of the causes of that turnout, which I believe was a record for that division. We won 2 - 0.

Does anyone have any idea how many tickets we've sold for Saturday at present?

I remember my mate's dad taking us to that game, standing on the corner of the bob bank/canton, absolutely rammed in and the crowd was buzzing. Generally speaking I have the memory of a goldfish, and cant' even remember the score (I think we won) but will never forget how full the ground was that night.

Arfur: You dont know that?
TLG: No?
Arfur: Have you not, I can’t... that is a classic.
TLG: No I did not seen City play Spurs in 1988, I saw them play Spurs in 1992.
Arfur: Ah, that’s what I meant, that's what I meant.
TLG: is it? Why did you say have you seen them play Spurs in 1988? They played Millwall in both, but Spurs was only in 1992.

TLG: Correct. At last.
