X block open for col u

[RHB]

Does that figure of 12,3000 include the boxes ect...

If we tried to squeeze that many into Roots Hall it would be fuller than Wembley on a World Cup Final day and Ron would be very happy. At £22 a ticket and knocking off S/T holders (5000?) that would net about £2.5 million, pretty cool.

Does the 12,300 also include the directors box which I assume, probably wrongly, is non revenue generating.

Does the official attendance only register paid attendees or literally bums on seats?

 

[mattitouk]

112 tickets sold already in the last section of X block, thats nearly a third of the last of our allocation, not bad going considering it only opened up around 11am this morning, I would imagine they will all be gone by Friday at this rate.

I thought it was actually neither. I 'assumed' it was tickets issued, so this includes free tickets. Pretty sure it's not bums on seats as those of us in x block would not be counted :winking:

There are some of us ol' gits in the East who only just about manage to get off our seats.

On latest look there are 663 home tickets remaining.

 

[mattitouk]

Only about half left now in the last batch of the X block.

Yeah looks like quite a few tickets sold today especially in South Lower, where there are not many seats left in some blocks. Not often we see that.

Going to be very close to a home sell out which going by the blocks we have is about 9,200 tickets in all stands.

I nearly had a go at counting up the remaining seats on sale but gave up on counting the South Stand lower. As for the rest of the home seats (South upper & West, all) there were 201 free.

CP tweeted a couple of hours ago, that 9,500 have already been snapped up. So I would imagine it will be more than the 10,099 attendance at Millwall.

Probably includes about 500 farmers, so I'd agree I think we're on for the biggest attendance. Good stuff

Could well be our highest home crowd v Colchester for many years.

The highest recently was 10,552 in the Championship season, it could well be more than that and you have to go back to 1969 for a higher crowd than that v Colchester.

 

[tommy tucker]

From a local farmer that lives not far from me they have sold 1000 plus tickets .

Colchester and Proud will confirm, but i think they are near the 1500 mark, which is probably more than they have taken combined away all season!

 

[mattitouk]

I believe they have sold around 1,300 at the moment.

 

[Colchester and proud!]

I believe they have sold around 1,300 at the moment.

From what I have heard we are over the 1400 mark so will probably sell all 1500 in the end which is not bad at all considering our form/home crowds.

Hope the south lower fills up nicely, nothing worse than seeing that stand on TV half empty. How many does it actually hold?
