Brian Murphy has just tweeted that the expected attendance for Saturday is 16,000. Top of the league 4 wins out of 4, we should be getting 20,000 or more. Its a shame and I hope the ticket sales improve before Saturday. Everyone needs to get behind the team if we want to push forward and be one of the "big clubs"
Even if it was a full house it wouldn't be enough for some.
I'd expect more than 16000 - probably between 18 and 19k.
Sorry for my ignorance but who is Brian Murphy?
Goalkeeper who plays for usQuote:

Must have removed it then, it did state that it would be embarrassing. So probably been asked to remove itQuote:

Villa is our biggest home game of the season excluding bristol, maybe our fan base has just actually shrunk to around 19k max. Maybe people actually just don't want to come back, so putting stuff on messageboards where it is likely the majority of people on them go anyway, is in fact, a bit pointless. The club know what they have to do to get bums on seats, 5 quid tickets, by one get one free. It's the only way now. Better that than an empty stadium. 4 wins clearly aren't enough to bring people back.
Think this might be getting misinterpreted.
Are the club expecting 16k or sold 16k already.
Does this include QPR sales- I'd expect them to bring appx 1000.
If we've sold 16k home tickets then that's similar to what we'd sold for Villa at this point, maybe a bit more.
I reckon it'll be around 20k
You could ask Barry.Quote:

The occasional cheap ticket match promotion for kids and plus ones is ok for the less popular games but totally unnesscessary for the majority. Only charging £5 also didnt seem to help with the attendance much last night. Four wins clearly are enough to start bringing the fans back, as our league average so far this year is around 21000 whereas last year it was 16500. Keep winning and stay at the top and the ground will be full at the turn of the year. Stop being so pessimistic about our support.Quote:

It's Barry Murphy, he's a sound bloke and big City fan, nothing to do with City's goalkeeper.Quote:

Also it's august bank holiday I imagine loads of people are on holiday or have better things to do.
Just read this thread back.
:hehe:
It's like an episode of Father Ted.
I'm pretty sure the op is Dougal.
Just read the thread over there, that Sven is a serious arselicker isn't he.Quote:

I find it much easier to park the car when it isn't too busy, easier to get served at the bar , less need to rush out of the house to beat the traffic to get to the game on time .
Every cloud guys.
Atmosphere doesn't come from numbers, the away atmosphere far exceeds the home buzz, there will be far less in attendance.
Cup games with less than 10,000 have been some of the best and nosiest crowds I have heard.

16,000 would be disappointing but hardly embarrassing and a laughing stock!!!!!!!!!!!
A real promotion challenge and we will see the 20,000 crowds. Or an FA Cup Final appearance with a guarantee of a ticket if you buy a ST.
