Other clubs know well enough that its a bad idea to do so (even most of those who can't fill their large grounds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are loads of tickets left. It's just marketing spin so it appears that we are selling out for when we apply for another loan next year.

Dig Dig Posted 13 December, 2012 Share Posted 13 December, 2012 Genius marketing from Cortese though, wouldn't you agree Turkish? Just look at the mad scramble for tickets this has created Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 13 December, 2012 Share Posted 13 December, 2012 It is quite interesting (well I think it is anyway, others probably don't) how much disparity there is between the most popular games and the least popular one. This game, Man Utd and Spurs all sold out at least 2 weeks prior to kick off. Yet Fulham (28K), Norwich and Fulham (just over 29K) having significant areas unsold. Its a bit of a guess but against the top sides we could perhaps sell at least 38,000 tickets, which is 10,000 more than the least popular games. I wonder if other clubs our size and bigger experience that sort of disparity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 13 December, 2012 Share Posted 13 December, 2012 It is odd I agree which makes me ask the question....how many of the 'big clubs' have fans in the home areas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to hand it to Julius Duncan the new director they've brought in, his first action has been to create this sort of demand by clever marketing. His career at SFC seems to have got off to flier this senior manager might last more than 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if other clubs our size and bigger experience that sort of disparity. Villa are pretty good example, Sheff Wed when they were in the Premier League could fill Hillsboro' (40-odd thousand) for the big ones but half their games would have been under 20K. Leeds would be interesting, if they were up right now I think their gates would be up and down too. Of course they're bigger clubs than us but their lowest gates wouldn't be much different to ours and Wed's case probably considerably worse.

Villa's lowest gate this season is almost as low as ours; 28,692 against Reading. Their highest; 40,538 against Man Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds are in reality what a lot of our self titled intelligent posters think we are. A very big city with only one club and drawing support from large towns around them like Wakefield, Harrogate, York. There are even lots of Leeds fans in towns with clubs like Bradford and Doncaster. They also have a mix of working class support from Leeds itself and wealthier fans from outside. With a bit of investment and success they could get crowds of 50k every week.

Sheff Wed get gates in the 25k region in the champ (and in L 1), v similar to us. Did they really get sub 20k attendances in the Prem last time? Seems unlikely.

No doubt about that, and it looks like they're about to get bought out by some Middle-Eastern consortium so will probably soon be back to being a force - but don't get away from the fact that, despite their size and stature, they still capable of getting some pretty big dips in attendances.

Crowds are down at the moment due to anti Bates feeling, lack of investment and the price, season tickets are more expensive than ours FFS!! Away from home they've sold out every game for years. My in laws are in Harrogate and a lot of the blokes in the local I go in when up there say they won't go back until Bates goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they really get sub 20k attendances in the Prem last time? Seems unlikely. Rather surprisingly, Sheff Wed never had an average attendance over 30,000 in any of their Prem seasons from 1992-2000. In fact their highest average was only 28,700. Other seasons saw between 25k and 27K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that they'd maintain a similar level of gates to us (plus a bit because of size) if they came up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget this was in an era when Chelsea got less than us in league one 2 years ago as we are often reminded. So no doubt crowds across the country were much lower than now.
