StuRomseySaint Posted 8 September, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickG Posted 8 September, 2009 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuRomseySaint Posted 8 September, 2009 Author Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 8 September, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 9 September, 2009 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkeith Posted 9 September, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimond Geezer Posted 11 September, 2009 Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Bizzle Posted 12 September, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 12 September, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
