If we get 11400

sufcintheprem · Oct 31, 2006

We will be in five figures for average attendance this season. I'd say there's a pretty good chance of that as long as Hull bring some fans along. Good times.

Hmmm, I think it will be just under 11,000 to be honest.

Can't see Hull bringing more than about 700...

There's a lot of really hacked off fans in the Humberside region at the moment. Even 700 could be generous.

True, although they do have a very large London Supporters Club I believe??...

Somebody told me that we gave them 1300 tickets, and they sent back 1000 due to lack of demand. So they are bringing approx. 300. The same person told me that the 1000 we got sent back have been sold to Southend fans, so we get the rest of the North Bank. That would mean trhat there should be AT LEAST 11,100 there tonight. Apparently it's a sell out, isn't it? I take it with a pinch of salt but I think that there will be 11,000+ there tonight.

Just 'cos it's a sell-out doesn't mean it'll be a full attendance. If, as rumoured, there's a large number of southern manc's who bought tickets for tonight just to get the chance of a ticket for next week, I can easily see a less than 11,000 gate on a game that's sold every ticket.

As I said, if we have indeed sold half of the north bank too, then it's likely there will be a big attendance.

Well the truth will out when the attendance is read out.....Time i donned my clobber and set off to navigate the M25 see you all there

looks like tha answer is no Smilthy.... I know we have sold upto West Stand Z block (corner North stand on the Bend)cos thats where im sitting..if thats the case tonight crowd will only be around 9,500.... silly really 300 or so Hull fans sitting in 1800 available seats... All I can say SUFC are losing out on some good income here

Make Hay when the sun shines..... clearly not in Our clubs case

Indeed mate...

Although I have seen the meshing be moved to the halfway point of the North Bank a couple of times this season, against Cardiff and Coventry for example, unfortunately on these two occasions we didn't get the home support to use the extra seats...

Hopefully common sense will prevail, and at least a couple of blocks in the NB will be available tonight, even if it is just for pay on the night customers...

Although I can see the potential issues this could cause with regards to the Man Utd situation..

But at the end of the day, why should the club lose out on income tonight, just to satisfy people wanting a Man Utd ticket..

A tricky one..
