eugene Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I've just bought tickets for me and eugene Jr - he's 4 and it will be his first ever game. Big onus on the team ...and the crowd ....to get him hooked ..I'm battling a strong Man U influence in our domestic life and living their side of the pennines only makes it harder. Offer of a ticket for a quid will also soften the blow if he's had enough after 5 minutes, or even worse, before kick off .....you can take the man out of yorkshire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COME ON YOU BLUE AND WHITE WIZARDS ! This is brilliant to hear takes me back to the days when I took my sons to their first matches My eldest's first match was Jimmy Mullen's testimonial 6 month old scarf on me proud as anything. As a club can't we try and make this first game special for these youngsters obviously a baby won't appreciate anything but the 4-7 yr old attending his/her first match how about a pre match bit of entertainment from ollie say in the Gym or on the pitch if nice weather just something to make it special for them. My first match was sometime ago watching us against Man utd: law, charlton etc didn't mean much then but as a kid the match was secondary to the experience magical - *must look it up on google* So come on let's get something organised -We need to secure the next generation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attendances rely in the main on, previous recent results, weather, how the team is playing, importance of the match and how much people have got in their pockets. Christmas is now over,and hopefully people will now have been paid (monthly salaries of course) and 1st home game for the new manager. Reduction in ticket prices does not have that much bearing on the attendance. Taking all this into account, minimum 23k for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest intercity0wl Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 According to the posh site tickets for their supporters for this game came off sale at 2.00pm today, Seems strange. . http://www.theposh.com/page/AwayTickets/0,...1907712,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imre Varadi's Conker Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 There will be 21,309 actual fans and 2,008 virtual fans (fans that carry golden tubs of frogs around in their hoods). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalowlisback Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Looking on the on-line doings, ticket sales look very poor. Unless there is a large 'walk-up' on the day, we may struggle to get much over 20k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffsteel Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 It will be a poor show if it's not over 20,000. I know it's January (traditionally low crowds) but "quid a kid" should counteract this. I'll go for 20,882. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Hatstand Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I reckon 22-23k Sadly I can't make it this week, would love to be at Hillsborough when there's a potential for some atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Monkey Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I predict 21,500. However, we do seem to get better crowds in the second half of each season. If we keep getting the results, the crowds will definitely start to improve. I would urge everyone to buy their tickets for the sheffield derby in april. Let's fill the stadium and let the pigs only have the lepps triangle. COME ON WEDNESDAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go for 20,882. I would love to know historicly (sp) how many the kids for a quid incentive actually adds to the gate.I would hope for at least 23k given our last 2 results and to welcome AI.
