I agree. I posted on the first page of this thread with this kind of sense. It's a pity SOOO many people just get drawn in with all the stupid and foolish "it'll be a disgrace if..." "it'll be embarrassing if..." bullshit. There was over 100 pages of the shit before the Community Sheild yet we sold about 85-90% of our 25000 tickets to an almost meaningless game. Considering the size of our fanbase and the fact we only sell out away games (that are just 2000-7000 tickets) about 50% of the time every season, that's a good attendance.Uwes Grandad said:What people need to understand is the damage threads like this do to the club.
Talksport and Sky Sports News both picked up on the expected low attendance as it had been brought to their attention. The estimated crowd of 28,000 was so far out, it was funny.
Why do we do this? It leaves us open to criticism when the eventual crowd was a very healthy 44,000. Next time don't listen to the security guards, the staff printing the shirts or the next door neighbour, wait until the official attendance is announced.
Same goes for seat counting ....
So last nights attendance was down to liam LOL, i think people should get warnings for using the word disgrace.Georgian Maestro said:For those slagging off Liam i'd be interested to know how many tickets we shifted as a result of this thread. I'd say it was a fair few and i bet it had more of an impact than the ridiculous "nearly sold out" bollocks the club put out over a week ago
