Ever the pessimist Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 To be fair only Leeds and Brighton (by a handful) had higher attendances. We had more than games at Fulham, Cardiff, Stoke, West Brom, Boro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight's range from it's only League Cup what's the point, to well if season ticket holders aren't going then I won't either. If POTG fans want cheaper tickets then tonight would have been a great opportunity to show Chansiri but it wasn't taken.

Tonight for me has put the ticket price argument to bed once and for all. You had the chance. You didn’t take it. Put up or shut up? Might now be time to shut up.

Compare it to the crowds elsewhere and in the last round and you'll see it was a good turn out for a mid table Second Division club. But you're happier slagging fellow fans off.

modboy Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Can't afford first team games but went last night as fifteen quid was decent enough imo. Edited August 29, 2018 by modboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I never get this argument why would Wednesday fans be any different to every other club for the League Cup where every ground that Sky went to last night bar Wimbledon had vast empty spaces and I suspect the prices were the same. The Cups are treated with contempt unless you get to the latter stages. If they don't treat them seriously then I am not paying to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t understand why people wouldn’t want to attend especially when being priced out is such a big complaint. I hadnt realised that the competition being played in, competitor being played against etc, enhanced / reduced people’s support of their club. I often read how prices shouldn’t fluctuate based on opponent but guess this theory backs that idea. Also low attendance likely backs the pricing office when they state lower prices don’t mean bigger attendances. Id have thought people who are price sensitive that want to see us play would attend when they can, this being an example of that. It’s certainly how I did it growing up. Did you go?

Wish I had been home for it though, game sounded encouraging despite the loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hillsborough Mole Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I just think it's difficult to judge others for not going if you haven't gone yourself mate. I'm not trying to be clever but there are plenty of reasons others don't go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just shocked that attendance expectations (and actual) was so low for a premier league team in cup and half price tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesowl Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 13k is a great crowd for a second 11 vs a second 11 in a nonsense cup game. Well done everyone that went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I thought that was a decent crowd last night. Everyone knew it was a glorified reserve match - so 16k was good in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
