Saturday has has become a huge game. A season turner. Blackburn are there for the taking, and a large vibrant SUPPORTIVE crowd would be a massive help to the team. Look at their away form:- Rotherham L 3-2 Brum D 2-2 Reading L 2-1 Brentford L 5-2 Could be a fabulous day and a fabulous springboard for the run-in. I might even get out of my armchair for this one... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said before the FA should have a back bone and stand up to it, but they aren’t fit for purpose. I do know a way you can watch it on the Kop for £20 a game though Season ticket ? Not an option for me at momenry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castleford Owl Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Looking like being a decent crowd, maybe around 25,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Just bought two for my daughters. Not many together in our block in the north so could be half decent. Surprising what a few wins does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Depending on how we do in the next few weeks then potentially our remaining home games should attract big crowds. Villa, Forest, Bristol City and our last home game QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Crowds pretty steady unless we have something big to play for. I don't think a mid-table clash will attract a lot of interest. Now if we keep winning and we could actually make the play-off spots then it might increase. But the people who think 'ooo wednesday are doing well, i might go saturday, Let me just logon, HOW MUCH?? nevermind'. Might be a bit of a barrier to be honest. From my view point i have a 3 year season ticket and i have renewed for next season. But i have mates who are fans but don't go and just come occasionally. With the pricing this season they have not come. We were going to do Leeds but the pricing was appalling for a game on the TV. The pricing will have an effect over the years, you can get entertainment for dead cheap these days and i honestly think Wednesday need a re-think on pricing. But i might as well talk to the wall.

Average attendances were nowhere near 30,000 in pub league, we averaged just 17,000 one season, we averaged just under 23,000 in our promotion season. I know what you are getting at but if POTG prices were say £20 on Kop £25 on North and South Stands I think we would have far less season ticket holders because buying one wouldn't save you much money and then when we're not doing well we would get less than 20,000 turning up. As for young supporters prices are very reasonable for season tickets and potg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were getting 30,000 when playing in big games and challenging for promotion, soon as we do again we will be getting similar gates. DC is not allowed to subsidise the ticket prices, we had cheap prices for the recent Brentford game, and the gate wasn't that high. Success is what attracts the fans, Leeds are selling out with similar prices as ours. If it was that simple every club would be doing it. I agree that prices should be looked at again but it's finding that right balance. If anyone can find the right formula then I'm sure DC would implement it. Email him.
