Not sure whether you're getting mixed up with the Newcastle game but that count is for the Salford match. Sales have been brisk for that one and I reckon it'll comfortably sell out, whereas Newcastle sales are currently at a trickle in comparison. There may well be a surge in sales over the next few days but I can't see the crowd being close to 50,000

So I am 52 with the following...
3 x kids of my own aged 25, 16 and 13
1 x foster child aged 15.

I don't think the age demographic is a thing but I have previously stated I just feel like I am only going for one reason and that is until my youngest is old enough to go on his own with his eldest brother.
For me juggling shifts for 30yrs, and having other stuff to do now has made it less important than it used to be however I will never let my season tickets go. Cup schemes will be FA Cup only next season (but then again I always seem to join c.league aswell).
Football has changed it really has. There is simply to much of it now and the expansion of the c.league is simply a money making scheme.

I’ve been to most home games in the last 20 years but usually when I decided not to go and we were on the telly, I always felt I should’ve been there. I didn’t get that feeling at all on Wednesday, I was glad I was at home and I will be at home next Wednesday night too and will miss the Fulham game as I am unable to go to that one. Maybe it’s the beginning of the end for me, who knows?

Hopefully not. Probably not.

Ah i see, thanks
 
"They're here, they're there, they're every fucking where, empty seats, empty seats"

There will be a LOT of that on Wednesday night. A lot of photos etc. etc.

Would suggest those who are sensitive to those things, put some headphones in and switch off social media.

I'd also suggest that the club could do something drastic and offer reduced prices to fill the empty seats and maximise their revenue. But they won't. Not sure what their game is but it's not fucking working.

Camera phones.
Hair clippers.
And now headphones!
What next?

I was thinking along similar lines this morning. I thought it was a cracking 2 nil win. Then walking away from the ground, hanging on updates from people’s phones / radios, brought back distant memories of walking away from Maine Road and trying to find out the final scores of promotion rivals games.

The atmosphere made by the Gala fans (not idiots throwing flares) added to the occasion.

It was a shame the old school Blues stand, South Stand Level 3, was pretty empty but you can’t have it all.

There are too many games but we’ve also been spoilt beyond belief.

And that’s the irony. The team go deep into the 4 comps almost every year unlike the other 19 clubs. More success means more games and more expense than other fans. You are right that we are spoilt and asking 50000 fans to shell out for more and more games is not going to happen and we don’t have the Norwegian or Irish fan base of others to take up the slack.
When we play Brighton at home in a Tuesday night in January that new extension will be sit in any seat and a total embarrassment.
Hopefully the 35k CL figure this week will give the Board a kick up the arse to do something about this.
 
is the 35k that was quoted here a few days ago the correct attendance from Wednesday night?

Saw someone saying there were far more they thought.

Any records online of a higher attendance figure?
Need it for a Watsapp argument ASAP

Regarding the 35k crowd this week, change a detail or two and it’s understandable. If we were playing Millwall at home in an evening cup game and there were reports that 1,000 plus Millwall fans had bought tickets in the home end, I would expect thousands of Blue no shows. Gala have that sort of rep even though the game passed off largely peacefully. Man U fans were terrified last season.

Midweek games in the middle of winter anren’t easy for a lot of our fans. Up until this week most Blues have struggled to get to and home from the game. That said, the bubble may have burst now and only the very biggest of games will sell out in midweek for the foreseeable future.

We’ve no idea whether the expanded stand will be empty for midweek Prem games against lower profile teams. I think the top of the East and West stands will have empties and so will the South Stand, if last night is anything to go by.

You want action from the Board and fair enough. Will you be doing anything to help fill the seats like run a coach to games, encourage family members to attend etc.
 
The club have said consistently that they were concerned about the Gala match purely becasue of the issues when they played at the Swamp recently. To the point that they were deliberatly restricting open ticket sales to make sure that they were not finding their way to large numbers of away fans. So, they won't be bothered abut the low attendance the other night.

The Newcastle semi on the other hand must be a concern to them. We have a real problem now with midweek games generally - as a fan base, we find it harder to make the commitment to Tues/Weds games that we can on weekends - this from a combination of work commitments, parking (walking back to your car at 10pm on a freezing night is much more of an issue than 5pm on a sunny afternoon), the number of blues who live well over an hour away from the ground, and the various restrictions in ticket transfers in place.

So they will have to work out how to make these games more attractive, but short of either adopting the rag approach of bundling them into your ST, or pricing them for nothing (and I'm genuinely not sure that would even work) , I'm struggling to see how they get out of this mess. Safe and efficient traansport to/from the ground bundled with match ticket would be the best way imho.

What do we want?
“The return of free street parking”

When do we want it?
“Tuesdays and Wednesdays”
 
In my opinion, that Leverkusen game has come back to bite the club on the arse in more ways than one. The crowd that night was 50,500 with probably no more than 2,000 Bayer fans.
This was 25th Nov on a dank and cold night. Pep fielded a reserve eleven and if BM is anything to go by, a lot of folks were fuming and basically said fuck midweek games. Now I’m not saying it’s only down to that but you can only piss people off so many times, especially folk who have a long journey, need to take time off work etc etc.
