Last nights gate

[DoDTS]

Really enjoyed last nights game, relaxed and enjoyable, but it was a bit of a shock to see Roots Hall so empty, it's a shame more couldn't have turned up.

Having said that it's not so long ago that we were getting gates of 2,500 for league games so it shows, yet again, how far we've come.

One of the reasons it looked so empty was because the whole ground was open, why then isn't the whole ground open for Cheltenham in the LC? Dts and I haven't bought tickets yet as the South is shut, surely it wouldn't hurt to pay a few stewards to open up the South, so that ALL of the 5,000 season ticket holders can sit in their chosen seat if they want to. Surely were owed that in repayment for our continued loyalty.

Well Dts were's it to be East or West?

Finally what about a return friendly in Holland next July/August. A couple of games in 4 or 5 days, and "ShrimperZone International Tours" could be born?

Maybe the club thought they would get a much bigger crowd against such massive European opposition, yet they KNOW there won't be many coming to the Cheltenham game....?

A dutch tour next season has got to be a go-er! Away to Vitesse, PSV and AJAX sounds good to me!:D

I still think the club should have a tour of Germany in three years' time, including a match at the Olympic Stadium Berlin against Hertha, marking 100 years since the 1910 tour.



Note to club: 100 years after 1910 will be in 2010, not 2011.

I enjoyed last night as it was a great blast from the very recent past.. Roll up buy a ticket.. sit where you want.. Get a beer easily. Kick off delayed by 15 mins, Get another Beer easily.. Stroll in 2 mins after the 2nd half kick off and get in no ones way.. All that was missing was being able to smoke !!

the 5,000 season ticket holders

Is that about how many we've sold this year? Good work if it is.

 

[DoDTS]

Yes on the OS it said we had sold 4,800 a couple of weeks ago and they were confident we would break the 5,000 figure, if I remember correctly.

 

[Groyne Strain]

There were times, not just throughout the decades but during Newman's and Wignall's times as managers, where league and cup games had lower attendances. 2,500 for a pre-season work-out on a warm summer evening, when beer gardens and open-air restuarants are at their peak, is pretty good going.

Interesting to note that the commentator was saying that Norwich has sold 20,000 tickets for there match against Vitesse

That's pretty impressive for a pre-season friendly, usually such attendances would only be seen in pre-season if a really big club comes visiting.

Norwich are a well supported club and the cheapest adult seats are £6 & only £1 for kids. Last night cost me £15, Southend should have charged kids only £1
