Ever the pessimist Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I would love it if DC takes SYP to task about our ridiculous segregation requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 The obsession with crowds continue. I can't wait until they announce the attendance half way through the match, and people start applauding. What's all that about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than 20,000 tomorrow and I think we should all booo when it's announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 you count em if you go to the match, the 3100 were top tier, lower tier seating, although advertised, was never available on their site Wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzy85 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Mozzy85. Maths not your strong point mate. 3100 + 1400 makes 4500. Just don't look At my maths in a earlier post I re-took maths at college as I absolutely detested it at school and got a D, bumped it too a C but also did accounts which I loved. Just being lazy to be honest as I was on phone and didn't want to trawl through the earlier pages. Wish they'd open the stand fully though and same with the other area's. Could easily surpass 35/36,000 if we did. We'll prob be close to that anyway hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I don't think playing Arsenal is worth all this bickering. Maybe we should ask to draw only League 2 teams from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have a job as it's only premiership and 3 championship teams left in it and we are obviously going to do Arsenal :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Arsenal fans must be p1ssing themselves reading stuff like this. How low we have sunk. Good job HMS PTL2 has embarked on the journey back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Just to clarify for Scarboro Owl - nobody was saying that Arsenal were unlikely to be offered more tickets The discussion was about the potential maximum tickets we would offer and why 4500 appears to be the maximum in a stand that has 6000+ capacity. Your argument was that Wednesday could sell these if they fancied it. Lets be right Arsenal would probably sell them. So why is it that given the capacity and the probable demand that is unlikely to happen. It may well in time but the evidence appears to be that there is an arbitary maximum capacity on the Lepp end well below the seat numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job HMS PTL2 has embarked on the journey back. Thing is your right we have sunk low. 15 years since top flight football and almost went out of business. It's been a poo poo 15 years apart from our promotion years. DC is bringing the good times back and hopefully games like this will become the norm again. Dont forget that a substantial portion of our fanbase have never seen us in the top flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Owl 2 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 You would think we were on the cusp of a monumental achievemnt. But its only a chance of hitting 30k for the first time in ages. In a game where the crowd was always going to be bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darklord Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 22 years ago we were level with Arsenal, both in the two cup finals and top end of league. Our trajectories since couldnt be more different. Arsenal fans that moan about their lot would do well to remember how much worse they could have had it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Surprising how many 'fans' want tickets to watch Arsenal when we've been attracting 20,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spondon Owl Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 No it isn't.Seconded. This will be a treat for most and there will be plenty non Wednesday fans. I'm bringing 6 with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Surprising how many 'fans' want tickets to watch Arsenal when we've been attracting 20,000. It isn't really is it. For many reasons fans, like myself, have to pick and choose games. I personally don't have the time or money to keep coming up from Hampshire for every game. It's hardly a surprise that a game that falls in half term against a top quality side is attracting more of those 'pick and choosers' than the average game. Much like, in the circumstances, it wasn't a surprise when fans turned up en mass for the Wycombe game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 It's not surprising. Nor is it tinpot. It is still annoying though when Hillsborough is more than half empty for more important games. But that's no different to most teams in this league. Just wish football fan mentality would change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerowl Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Errrr, yes they did! Absolutely 100% guaranteed. Yeah they had the disabled bay at the bottom so this guy is technically correct. Edited October 16, 2015 by parkerowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is why, should we ever get there, we will 100% average over 30k per home game. Lots of people who you would not describe as Wednesday fans will go to games to watch premier league football. Plus away attendances will be large, as Arsenal have demonstrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
