StuRomseySaint Posted 8 September, 2009 Posted 8 September, 2009 ... after giving away over 1000 tickets to local schools ( massive LOL ) , there are still over 4,500 ( FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED ) tickets left for Saturdays game against Bolton. Now, let's not forget that it is also 'kids for a quid' promotion is also on for this game. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRDEEEEHAAAA!!! Ooooh, rallying cry from Peter Storrie can be found here... http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/index.php?cms_ref=news
Saintandy666 Posted 8 September, 2009 Posted 8 September, 2009 Wow, we are still outselling pompey, even in league 1.
NickG Posted 8 September, 2009 Posted 8 September, 2009 it is well known they have very poor support - lacking in numbers. I lol'ed in lead up to cup final when radio solent interviewed someone who had to queue from 6 in morning to get ticket!
IFHP Posted 8 September, 2009 Posted 8 September, 2009 They have also cut ticket prices for 8 other games..... http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/index.php?cms_ref=tickets_news
aintforever Posted 8 September, 2009 Posted 8 September, 2009 Can't even fill their shack with kids for a quid! I wonder what excuse the blue few will come up with this time.
rocknrollman no2 Posted 8 September, 2009 Posted 8 September, 2009 Ha Ha HA!!! I wonder where all those "Loyal and have been a fan for years" Pompey supporters who went to the FA Cup final are now?
StuRomseySaint Posted 8 September, 2009 Author Posted 8 September, 2009 Can't even fill their shack with kids for a quid! I wonder what excuse the blue few will come up with this time. Not only that, but they had to give away 1000 tickets to boost the numbers! Now for the maths. 20k capacity 1500 tickets to Bolton 1000 tickets to schoolkids 4500 tickets still left by my maths, that means even not including the kids for a quid, they have sold 13000 tickets for this game. Would love to hear Crap Ho view on this!
Colinjb Posted 8 September, 2009 Posted 8 September, 2009 Sh*t club with no real sizable fan element, always has been, always will be. Why waste the resources on a 40k or so stadium down there when they can't even get behind their team in their time of need. A total joke.
Spudders Posted 8 September, 2009 Posted 8 September, 2009 I like the fact that their offical site still shows last years table!
chocco boxo Posted 9 September, 2009 Posted 9 September, 2009 657 will soon be their average home gate?
OldNick Posted 9 September, 2009 Posted 9 September, 2009 Storrie must be wrong as Ho assured us his mate at the club had told him that they were going to exceed the 13500 s/ts last season and were expecting 16k this season. Storrie can't be right and Ho wrong.My figure of 9800 s/t may just be right Eh Ho?
warsash saint Posted 9 September, 2009 Posted 9 September, 2009 The lack of the blue few on this thread seems to mirror the numbers in Fartton Park
redkeith Posted 9 September, 2009 Posted 9 September, 2009 I have just seen someone on the BBC boards say that the reason that they can't sell all the tickets is because the ground is too small after it went all seater. I know that some people stopped trying to get tickets at the Dell because it got too difficult, but not 4,000 of 'em. His arguement was that they used to get 25K in the 3rd division years ago. I prefer to think that if you mapped the attendance against the position in whichever league they are in, you would see the trend. 8-10 K core support and the rest only come if they are winning.

Storrie can't be right and Ho wrong.My figure of 9800 s/t may just be right Eh Ho? He also said that they were going to sell 17,000 season tickets. As CoHo has said this it must be true. Therefore they can't have 4,500 tickets left. Its just not possible.

They are a joke at present.

They are both small in numbers and deluded! by the way their average most years in CCC or equiv (div 2) was about 8,000.
sotonjoe Posted 9 September, 2009 Posted 9 September, 2009 Shouldn't stu be selling personal trainer sessions or something?
View From The Top Posted 11 September, 2009 Posted 11 September, 2009 They'll sell out f'sure once word of the Danny Webber signing spreads.
Dimond Geezer Posted 11 September, 2009 Posted 11 September, 2009 I posted this elsewhere earlier, I thought I'd move it to the right place now: They are also giving away exec tickets in a competion on Wave 105 this morning, and to paraphrase "you'll need to be by your computers, because this will be a question that only the die-hards will know" (or something like that). I assumed all the 'die-hards' would already have their tickets. :badgrin:

Would love to hear Crap Ho view on this! id have thought he would have been the 1st to comment on a port*muff attendance thread!
Crab Lungs Posted 12 September, 2009 Posted 12 September, 2009 They are so ****ing funny, it's great that even though we're minus 6 in L1, we still laugh our tits off at them. Big club..... hahahaha It's gone VERY QUIET round here, hasn't it?
J Bizzle Posted 12 September, 2009 Posted 12 September, 2009 only sold 17,500 with 3,000 odd Bolton fans, kid for a quid, and giving away 1000 tickets. Without the promotions would probably have been 14,500-15,000.
Saint_Jim Posted 12 September, 2009 Posted 12 September, 2009 only sold 17,500 with 3,000 odd Bolton fans, kid for a quid, and giving away 1000 tickets. Without the promotions would probably have been 14,500-15,000. Idoubt there was that many but still only 17,500
Big John Posted 12 September, 2009 Posted 12 September, 2009 I would love to get them in the cup, I really would. Home or away, I think that they would crumble.
sotonjoe Posted 12 September, 2009 Posted 12 September, 2009 LOL. "pointless" pointless and yet simultaneously 5 points ahead of us
View From The Top Posted 12 September, 2009 Posted 12 September, 2009 So let's get this right. Our South Coast mega European giant neighbours, who are on the verge of signing half of the Argie national team to play alongside the goalscoring legend, Danny Webber, gave 1000 tickets away, charged kids for a quid, managed a crowd of 17500? I can see why Barca are quaking in their boots.
sotonjoe Posted 12 September, 2009 Posted 12 September, 2009 incidentally, anyone have an accurate idea of how many bolton sold? The 3000 touted by the racist further up the page seems a little exaggerated to me.
Fuengirola Saint Posted 12 September, 2009 Posted 12 September, 2009 incidentally, anyone have an accurate idea of how many bolton sold? The 3000 touted by the racist further up the page seems a little exaggerated to me. I reckon no more than 5-600, Boltons support is as bad as the Skates.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 12 September, 2009 Posted 12 September, 2009 They are so ****ing funny, it's great that even though we're minus 6 in L1, we still laugh our tits off at them. Big club..... hahahaha It's gone VERY QUIET round here, hasn't it? Minus 5
sotonjoe Posted 13 September, 2009 Posted 13 September, 2009 I reckon no more than 5-600, Boltons support is as bad as the Skates. yeh, that's unfortunately probably about right; 1000 if we 're lucky!
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 13 September, 2009 Posted 13 September, 2009 incidentally, anyone have an accurate idea of how many bolton sold? The 3000 touted by the racist further up the page seems a little exaggerated to me. In one!
