Can't remember it being that bad even during the worst times in League 1. Kop was sparse too and loads of empty seats near me at the back of the North. 17k tops last night I reckon including away supporters. Same, looked how it used to look an hour before kick off. Stadium bars had no queues either , another reason hillsboro isn't fit for purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people say “he’s not bothered if ST holders turn up or not, he’s already got their money” but I don’t buy that argument. If I were him and ST holders weren’t showing up to matches I’d be wondering how likely are these people to renew if they aren’t showing up now and they’ve already paid. Personally I think our season ticket sales for next season will be shaped very much by the actions of our chairman over the next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greengrass Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Poor effort from Wolves. The lower the attendance the better for me get served quicker in pub and get home quicker. Don't blame anyone for not going even ST holders, can't believe anyone POTG. I would have said around 19500 last night, certainly a few ST holders around us in the North were missing.

But I was one of the 6905 who went against Colchester back in the day. Do I count as a real fan? well said pal, been on the uncovered kop with less than 10,000 in snow and hail. i didn't go either (s/t holder too)but i suppose i'm just a glory hunting fair weather fan..........

Athelwulf Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 In the end, fans can boo and wave all the banners they like, but it's not attending which will force the issue. If pay-on-the day fans don't attend it hits revenue, and if ST-holders don't attend it will scare Chansiri that they will not renew. If you love the club and you want this nightmare to end, the best thing you can do at the moment is stay away. I miss going, but I'm not putting myself before the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Big night out in town last night would account for some of it. I didn’t go because i was out but my ST was used. The thing is though if we had been playing well I would have gone to what would have been a big game. I’ve been gutted to miss any home game in the past but I have to say it didn’t bother me a deal last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On TV, playing poorly, Christmas Dos etc. That said, don't come fckimg belly aching when we run out of tickets for big games. Like I said before, it's very fckimg easy following a good side. You make a good point. These are probably the same people who complain about segregation at the bigger games, want the stadium making bigger when we get to the Premier League or fall over each other trying to get play off tickets.

Ash-Williams Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 This where the pricing comes back to bite us on the arse. Thay have totally killed off POTG fans, Even if you fancied going you would never pay the price wanted on the gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Perhaps there quite a few like us. Go home and away but had a Christmas do booked last night that's been planned for months. Then foookin sky turn up a couple of weeks before hand and mess everything up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's still turning up going to get Carlos out? Explain that to me. Basically, you can't forgo going, even though you know that it will change nothing. If you love something, truly love it, you do what's best for it. And what's best for it at the moment is a change of manager. But it isn't "supporting the team" - namely chanting - which will change this situation. There is only one man who can change this situation, and that's Chansiri. Chanting isn't going to get Carlos out. Only a loss of revenue - or fear of losing it in the future - will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works Christmas do, had a really enjoyable night in town, gave my season ticket to a mate, wasn’t that bothered to be fair and didn’t bother finding a pub that had it on although if we weren’t so dire at the moment I’d have sacked the do off and gone to the match.

It's easy rocking up supporting a team playing well, big crowds, big games. When the chips are down, the real fans turn out. Just hope there arn't 350 threads on here bemoaning the lack of tickets etc the next time we have a big game. It was £33 minimum potg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 All this talk of boycott is a load of crap. Consider the conditions:- 1.The weather this week has been absolutely filthy. Many Wednesdayites come from outside the city limits, and places like the Peak District being snow covered, temperatures below zero, and the possibility of more snow.and closed roads. 2. The game was on Sky 3. The proximity of Christmas - works do's proliferataing. 4. The atmosphere at the ground not being at its best. Even this would not have stopped me travelling from Buxton, but health issues at home prevented this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
