Yesterday's Attendances

[Taunton Blue Genie]

Just fans who just watch games a few times a year , I’m sure you know what I mean.

It relates to a running joke on here but I see that you are a new arrival. No harm done

Strangely Swansea’s capacity has been capped at 16k fir their first 2 games and away support from both their opponents has been low.

They’ve sold pretty much the same amount of season tickets as us based on £99 for early bird all over their ground, when they were near the top of the league just after Xmas so don’t be surprised to see their crowds at much higher than their historic levels in the coming weeks.

Aside from a handful of clubs I don’t think our gates are too embarrassing considering the ticketing issues and apparent lack of ambition.

A few more good results and things might get better. I’d expect 22-23k next week v the Worzels

Very True, with the amount of long balls we play, there's a good chance that someone might get their dentures knocked out.

Lots of folk I know are away from Cardiff at the moment….

I think that’s the first abbreviation that’s longer than typing the original I’ve seen.

People over here say "WW2" instead of World War 2. Four extra syllables!

That’s a good post … that being said, the club have undertaken zero marketing to sell season tickets, and don’t appear to have offered any incentive to floating fans - what has happened to the flexi ticket ?

Good question. Still waiting to hear about my unused tickets from last season - refund or free renewal or what?

[life on mars]

Nice to see more fans there yesterday than against Barnsley ,even with the morning downpour and MM tactics 😀

The reason for the drop in attendance at Swansea was that 30 year old Mercedes Chardonnay Jones didn't take her kids.

If what you say is true that would mean that only 64 seats remained unsold!

Really, that's a bit harsh

Disagree. It needed saying

[ToTaL ITK]

Some people are just not ready yet to get into a crowd

[Eric the Half a Bee]

17 & 1/2 K isnt too bad in the circumstances, the older generation are still worried about going to the supermarket, they are not going to be rushing to watch a football game are they

I was in the grandstand on Saturday, generally an older person stand, and it was nowhere near as populated as the other areas of the ground.

[FungoFurore]

I've got my ticket for Saturday, can't remember the last time I went to a live game but looking forward to it.

Buying the the ticket online was a massive pain in the arse and I nearly chucked my phone and gave up.
