2k to Wigan in Derby's position is wank....

I don't think our position has much bearing on anything considering we've been up there 5 years on the trot! Normally go top for a bit and still only average 1600ish a year.

It's a tenner a ticket for all the idiots that paid £90 for a membership, so not many people.

exactly so hardly a deal

Really?

You've brought 1800 and under in the last three years at Wednesday but took 2.8k this year so you're saying form wasn't a factor?

We were 12 unbeaten, 3rd and a point off second last year and took a shocker so who knows?!

We've been in much better form and positions over the last few years and took poor followings so I don't know if there's that much bearing on being inconsistently sat 6th with a trip to Wigan two weeks before Crimbo.

2k for us anywhere over an hour away is decent IMO, by our own standards.

7th. You sold out for boxing day?

 

[Brad-Owl]

I think Wednesday are only charging blues £20 NYD. If so Blues will probably sell out there.

£20 all areas for this game. They had same offer on for fixture at Brum earlier in season.

We had sold 1,250 up to this lunchtime for Boxing Day trip to Boro, on sale to all season ticket holders tomorrow.

Should be a big crowd then.

 

[blademan89]

Why would any of their fans want to go and watch them at the minute even for £20, if they have a new manager then maybe. They had about 15k in the ground last Tuesday which says it all really, I've seen it with us and it's just horrific to watch, luckily for you this is as bad as you've seen villa am I right?

 

[Kilburn Ram]

Boxing Day at Sheff U sold out. 2,253.

There'll be around 1,700 on Saturday at Wigan. About par for the course for us in that neck of the woods.

It’s the first time I’ve seen us in the second tier, but it’s far more enjoyable, than being in a relegation battle 4/5 seasons on the bounce in the prem, especially that last season when we went down. NYD is a good day on the piss, so you might get a few more going the footy.

 

[Oldbury]

I’m not so sure.

They’ve sold the 4550 for Wigan the week before, and I think a big number will want to go to West Ham on the 4th, with it being a first visit to that stadium.

I don’t think we’ve the core numbers, to fill the Wednesday game, too.

Forgot about the West Ham game the week after. That will be priority for everyone.

Really? That’d be fantastic, I’d be going regardless but £20 will add another few hundred I’d guess

 

[Railway Blue]

My Dad went to Stoke near the end of 90/91 season for a promotion battle and he said our fans got kept in for ages after the game as a Stoke mob were waiting outside for them with knives and baseball bats. Could’ve just been my Dad telling his 10 year old kid a load of shit like but I’ve also seen hundreds of Stoke invading the pitch at Blundell Park having a mass brawl with our fans earlier in the same season, which is probably why it all kicked off again at the one my Dad went to.

Something similar happened to us around 20 years ago when we beat them 3-2 on the last day of the season to deny them promotion to the Championship. Got to admit I was shitting myself.

 

[tiltontrev]

Blimey, I’ve just had a look at the Christmas period for us, I better start smashing some overtime in!!! Wigan away on the 22nd, then two home games, then Sheff Weds & West Ham away in the space of 4 days

Our away form has always blowed hot and cold, been to Wigan a few seasons ago at Easter and took over. 4000, been to Huddersfield took 2000 one season, then took over 4000, we are like most teams in this division, apart from the 3 we all know about, after our last away following at Stoke our average is about 2000, so top 5 so far, 1800 sold for Wigan so far not brilliant, but at this time of the season not to bad. And as for Stoke, yes they always had a good firm but so did Leeds,Birmingham, Sheffield United, Derby, Forest, Millwall and many more, but now those days are behind us, more family's and women go to games now, back in the 80s, you never hardly saw a women or young girl at the baseball ground, loved the atmosphere back then, oh how times have changed.

Fuck off.

 

[Derby1971]

Fuck off.

What a great response from you.

 

[Luke_1884]

7th. You sold out for boxing day?

Aye, was meant to say joint 6th but correct, sitting outside the PO currently.

As Kilburn's already covered yeah, sell out.

Be surprised if we get 1k to Norwich but still plenty of time.

 

[Railway Blue]

Fuck off.

Low life.

 

[villa loyal]

1400/2000 sold for Swansea Boxing Day. No chance of me going.

 

[SuffolkBlue]

We've sold 1000 for Stoke on Saturday. Would've expected more but back to back away games and 1 win this season doesn't help

 

[Depthcharge]

VL we have been given 2,600 allocation at Villa @ £30.

Leeds get more than us and Millwall... WMP are truly incredible.

 

[stevenbear]

Surprised you got POTG and we didn’t last week.

The game against you lot sold out a couple of days before so they stop POTG in case any Leeds fans try get in the away end. Still a good couple of thousand left for QPR and there will be come kick off, so no need to suspend POTG

Not far off the full allocation then. Swansea had 2750. We’ve already sold over 32k.

 

[mozzavale]

Got slapped? You mean the score? Looks like the fucking retards decided to just smash the away end to pieces, probably as strange as they come in the whole country stoke fans.

By all accounts they got slapped after the match too. A few finally managed to make their way into town late on. They surprised the few Vale left, but instead of steaming into the few, they stopped yards away from them and started bouncing up and down shouting and balling. A few more Vale turned up and ran them out of Burslem down into Middleport.

They ended up embarrassing themselves on what should have been a no lose situation for them on all fronts.

Not bad at all, for the distance, and time of the season, 2 weeks before Christmas, is always a poor time for attendances. Hope you win as well, the best of luck to you, the Derby fans are behind you all the way, can not stand Rowett.

 

[Depthcharge]

Fair play to Ipswich. Our last game this season is away at Ipswich - hoping we get the 3K+ allocation again that was trialed last season (although some poor scenes in Leeds end that day)...many Leeds already ensuring they are on the ITFC database already for that one.
