Ian Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 If you can call what we take to Elland Road a 'following' anymore.. It is embarrassing, remember when we ripped into the blades for taking 1700 to Barnsley on a Monday night? Well now we're taking less to leeds and have done for 3 seasons, it's comical. Child starts going to away games on his own and instantly decides he can call out those who don't go, those who will have been to hundreds more away games than he has and without even knowing the facts which will be different for each person,.........that's embarrassing For me a lunchtime kick off on Sky is perfect.....the price and more importantly the view always puts me off......at this time of year it means I can watch the game on Sky and then watch my son play cricket....for others they may be on holiday, others will have other commitments of both time and money...when you grow up you'll realise this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my fault you can't take your tinted specs off and see that it is actually a poor following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gazzaswfc Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Was in ticket office today we sold 1.000 tickets for Saturday it's poor but understandable with it being on sky & price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past Member Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) No problem with the attendance, poo ground, poo price. The problem is that we claim to have a decent away support. We don't anymore As a 17 year old in the 1990s, had to queue at 6 am to get a ticket for this one. The manc teams would do the same now and sell out at day 1.

Past Member Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Bang on, the point I was trying to make. The natural flow for tickets for this one, should be: Season tickets only: don't sell out cus price & agro. Excess tickets from above are bought by the lads, going for trouble. Police enforce season ticket only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said previously, if we were kicking off at 3pm at Leeds without tv coverage we would take 3,000 or so easy Regardless of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dewsburyowl58 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 i .share your opinion Ryan we should take more numbers to Leeds . I just feel that a big, noisy following helps lift the team doesn't it ?? hope we can somehow manage to increase our following when / if we reach the premiership, where ticket prices will be even higher I'm going on Saturday because I want to cheer the owls on. shouting at the tv cheering the lads on doesn't help my team much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
