impressed with Spurs turnout today

[r.soleofsalford]

you would say teams like Spurs and say Everton are roughly the same size clubs as us,they both seem to take impressive away followings - do they do anything different to us - i couldnt see us take as many as spurs took today , to a match in London thats on telly.

do you know how much it cost a spurs fan for a ticket to the bolton game.


and how much they asked city fans for a ticket at spurs

6-7k to Villa on a sunday night few years ago and 6-7k to newcastle on a sunday night under keegan? Both on ITV/BBC and when we was shit??

Dont forget the night game at Ipswich about 4,000 Blues we won 4-1 i think

In regards history you are probably right, however in regards fan base we are all of similar size. Though you would not think that from the turnout for yesterdays game, a very poor effort from blues

apart from the rags, liverpool and blackburn, every away game this season hasn't sold out. Spurs and Everton sell out every away game weeks in advance.

eh? almost every city away game has sold out this season. villa, wigan, bolton, , wolves, hull, scunthorpe all sold out.

Wrong. We've sold out as many times as Spurs and Everton this season away.

Spurs didn't sell out a reduced allocation at Leeds the other week, whereas we'd have filled the whole end.

Numbers wise we're about the same away from home but Spurs have probably got the most support, as they have several thousand who can't get into WHL and are increasing capacity to 56,000.

Everton fans are shit, they sit down at away games, even their own fans hate their away support.

They've only taken 1800 tickets for Spurs away and seem to think it will go to open sale. In terms of numbers I don't think Everton are any bigger than us away from home.

 

[lozza]

so coz everton fans sit down away from home that makes them shit?

well nearly anyhow, 1500 to be exact.

loads talk the talk, but when it comes to it, they wouldnt know an away ground if it smacked them in the face.

the other day we had a thread about how the same fans get the away tickets and yet tickets for stoke have been on open sale for a fortnight.

if we play chelsea, we wouldnt take 6500, no chance.

It was different then, we didn't have the money and high expectations. As fans we were more relaxed and enjoyed the attacking football. Like someone said earlier it seems that this season some fans are cracking under the pressure. We've been to be busy taking in all this media hype about us going places and giving it large to all our rivals and now that its not going according to plan the fans have become disillusioned hence the empty seats and poor atmosphere. Personal wealth has only a small part to play. Do Everton fans earn more than us ? no of course not. If we can all just settle down, keep a sense of gratitude and humility and realise that we have a long way to go to challenge top 4 the good times will come I'm sure.

we can all pick out specific games when we've taken loads away , and it would be nice to think that all Spurs fans are ugly fuckers who can't get girlfriends and so can take thousands up to Bolton for a televised match on Valentines day - but we just can't generate the kinds of numbers like they do - maybe with our owners vast wealth they can do things to help increase the numbers we have for cup games - cheap home tickets, free travel away - surely its all about getting that first bit of silverwear, and braking this 34 year hoodoo.

You do realise that our FA Cup tie v Leeds United was a midweek game live on terrestrial television, and it was more importantly a "restricted ticket game", only Spurs members and season ticket holders could apply for tickets for that game, it was not allowed to go to general sale which makes a massive difference to how many tickets are going to be sold in total, and we still sold 3,200 tickets for that game despite those restrictions.

You also rather stupidly gave it large that City would "fill the whole end" at Leeds well done on that theory, you obviously didn't take into account the little fact that most of Tottenham's fans had a 400+ mile round trip to contend with where as you could virtually piss from from Manchester to Leeds in comparison.

Not true. I know Wigan and Bolton definitely did, and Chelsea has.

i think hull did aswell

 

[dw7]

city found it hard to fill the end at scunthorpe 2100 that is pretty bad imo

So, do you think Spurs will sell out the games where it say 'general sale' .. How many does WHL hold, 36k. Yeah top class support at WHL, very hard to get tickets, blah blah blah.

That is an honest post mate, with all due respect I think that a lack of money is a big problem for some of Manchester City fans at the present time in regards to not being able to go to some games and it is the same with most teams in the north to be honest about it, I can remember you all moaning about our £47 ticket prices for the game at WHL and rightly so, as our owners really do take the piss with their pricing policy.

in answer to an earlier thread Spurs actually had 4,800 at Bolton today and not the 3,000 stated on ITV.

Telling us once is enough.
