Ever the pessimist Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Remember PNE coming here around this time of year a few years ago and loads of them were wearing bowler hats, apparently it is an annual tradition or something - wonder if it is the same tomorrow.

QPR average around 12k and are taking over 3k to Reading tomorrow and they've nothing to play for. Birmingham have sold 4,800 tickets for game at Bolton next Tuesday night. I wouldn't expect this many from PNE at £33 adults but 1,200 is a bit poor for position they'e in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 1200 is poor especially with a chance of play offs, Football fans make me laugh if they would be happy if it was £25 but £50 in travel costs but yet when travel is a lot cheaper and the ticket is £ 8 more it’s somehow unacceptable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
