I feel the same. Season ticket holder, go every home game but I don’t blame any fan that chooses to give matches a swerve, especially given the ridiculous state of our POTG ticket prices. And just because I’m fortune enough to be able to go to games regularly, that doesn’t make me a ‘better’ Wednesday fan than someone that cannot. A bit of humility goes a long way.

Tuesday night at £20? Just shy of 160 tickets! the vast majority of which (120) were adult tickets. Didn't think you could pay on the gate anymore? Wonder why there was a big queue of people queuing outside the South TO if you can? I'm not doubting the £20 price had a positive impact on sales for that game but i wish people wouldn't make things up to enhance their argument Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'llNeverBeMastered Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Dom howson has spoken to Wednesday and we're expecting a crowd of 31000, cant see how with the amount of seats left in the south stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EcclesallOwl Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 31k is about as close to a sell out as we can get isn’t it Just under 4k in leppings lane which holds about 6,700. Isn’t our allowed capacity about 34,000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it will be about 30,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hopefully block T in the north will be sold. I can't understand how cheese corner alone isn't good enough segregation between home & away fans. Barmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1Owl Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Terrible rules n regulations/ health n safety ruining it.. Hillsborough holds 39.000 so why can't pigs have whole leppings end and us have North/West Corner.. Embarrassing if back of goal is empty for such a match.

I'm not doubting the £20 price had a positive impact on sales for that game but i wish people wouldn't make things up to enhance their argument Thanks for that information Ash I must have been dreaming then. I'm not "making anything up to enhance" any argument. I worked on the South Stand as a cash turnstile on Tuesday Night. Other than 2 all ticket matches Leeds and United (Go on, try using your intelligence and guess why they call them all ticket games) you can always pay on the gate. Having said that the club doesn't always open cash turnstiles on the South Stand due to the relatively new South Stand T/O kiosk, but I can assure you 100% they often do and certainly did Tuesday. You know what I wish? I wish people wouldn't accuse others of lying when THEY themselves don't know their facts. Ring the club and check up if you like, you'll find I'm correct, thanks for questioning my integrity though and making yourself look a fool. UTO!
