With a full week ahead it'll still surpass 30,000 and likely surpass what they got at Bramall Lane (even though they've been going for promotion all season.) Is 28000 a guess or is that actual fact? I've not seen this anywhere that's all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree, clearly we're not going to sell out so I'd be happy to sell them more, take the revenue and hope that more grunters see them get destroyed. Just no point having empty seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’ll be more than that there on Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we refused to agree to the new BBC Radio contract in pre-season but I hope you don't mean that since he was completely within his rights to reject it and I'm very surprised other clubs didn't choose to do the same. A fact twice as baffling considering how much of a fuss many Championship clubs kicked up about the Sky TV deal a few months ago. I do mean that. 40 years following Wednesday, listening to radio Sheffield when I couldn't get to games, especially the fa cup semi against Brighton. Bob Jackson's humour on praise or grumble when it was on once a week. He took that away, without consideration for the people who matter. I'm lucky enough to be able to go to games, for those that aren't, radio Sheffield was and still is a real connection with what's going on. There's a reason other clubs didn't follow suit. Try work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t even make a weekend of it as it’s on Monday night, so I’m resigned to buying a sky pass for the evening. I’m not sure how much it would all cost really, at least £60 in diesel, three tickets £80 - £100, tram fare from Halfway to Hillsborough plus incidentals. Thing is you can’t rely on getting there on time on our motorway network at present, it could all go boobies up, and you end up sat in a queue for hours! Ironically, I’ve just driven from Geneva to Calais, 500+ miles without one traffic problem.( As soon as you reach the port however, 2hours to clear two border checks and ticketing...God knows how long that will take after Brexit). I hope it is a fullish house though, over 30,000 would be a great crowd. It will happen if we get a result against Brentford on Tuesday night and get a bit of momentum going. Rest assured I will be spending the Monday night screaming at the TV in between gulps of ale. Come on mate there's a flight on now Newquay to Doncaster no excuse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Going to look ridiculous with the lower lepp empty. We should pack it in with this mutual restriction on away tickets and give them more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night King Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Was just about to post it’s ridiculous to only give them 2000 tickets in a stand that we can sell 5000 in. Both clubs should bite the bullet and sort that out. The atmosphere used to be incredible with bigger away followings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when “full” now it’s about 4600. Ridiculous really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watto Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 If the tickets weren't so expensive especially as it's on TV and a night game then we'd probably be able to have sold upper West to Wednesdayite's and give them the lower ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
