AlexY25 The first full house of the season will probably be home birmingham, last game of the year. If were still in the promotion hunt.


If they are still in the hunt don't you mean :lol:

philM From TheRams.co.uk...

"...apparently, we've sold the 1300 tickets they sent to us, and there are another 1000 available on the day - i reckon we should take 2000 at least..."

Morph
AlexY25 Games just reached 17,000

Might just reach 18,000 for saturday


You do talk some utter nonsense.
The club are expecting around 21,000 so far for the visit of Derby.
You're a pillock.


I think an apology might be in order, he was closer that you were.

Who's the pillock now?

Ignore him.

According to him, the Derby game, possibly the toughest home game of the season so far, and against one of, if not the biggest club in the division, will be a lower than usual attendance. He's talking through the peep hole in his @rse.


You were talking out of your @rse tbh.


Pillock.

I was chatting to some DC fans in The Swan before the game and they said their season tickets were £240.00, with kids regularly get in to Pride Park for a quid.

Their away following perhaps suggest they are not quite as big a club as we're led to believe.

Or simply, as indicated on their own website, the Rams support expected a humping, which was duly observed. :wink:

Yesterday's was a shocking crowd given the league position and a 4-1 away win last week.

Morph if you think Derby, whom have a strong away following, not to mention 30,000+ crowds at home, will only bring a mear 1300 or so, you're potty.


:lol:

Morph 20,000 at least Saturday.

You must have been hankering for a further 5,000 empty seats on the East Stand. That would have improved the atmosphere.

What do you base that on ?

What was the crowd after our 3-0 away win at Wolves ?

Answer - almost identical to yesterday

What was the crowd against QPR ?

Answer - about 1500 bigger than yesterday, which was about the difference in the away support.

So yesterday's crowd was pretty much what we might have expected.

Issues of sensible long term planning are irrelevant, although interesting to hear that you are using the figures from one game despite the fact that elsewhere you dismiss those who disagree becasue you think they are using evidence from one game !!!!!

Do you not think people might think Derby a more attractive fixture than Burnley? Wasn't QPR live in Sky? It was a terrible crowd, possibly the lowest turnout of home fans for a league match on a Saturday since 2005.

It's nearly pantomime season - who's the dullest poster? It's Behindu

As has already been spoken about on this board the seats at the bottom of the North are poor, that is all they were selling pre game, thanks to a policy of no longer selling Y26, and keeping the South stand closed for home fans, did this make any difference, I dont really know, but perhaps the club were taking calls for seats, or on the website and people were refusing what was on offer, hopefully the systems will show if this is the case, but i am not so sure.

Had it been 18.6k with the south open I would agree that it was disappointing.

I think they maty or may not. Neither are Man Utd, neither have any big name players and neither have any great history with our club. I doubt many people picked either game as a 'must see' for this season.

Schards#2 Wasn't QPR live in Sky?

Yes it was.

Schards#2 It was a terrible crowd, possibly the lowest turnout of home fans for a league match on a Saturday since 2005.


Well you think it was. That doesn't mean it actually was. And you have no idea whether it was the lowest turn out, just a wild guess presumably ?

An educated guess based on the attendance figure and the approximate numbers of away fans judged by the naked eye.

If it isn't, it would be very close.

Is your position that it was a decent crowd that the club will be happy with?

I would hazard a guess that the distance away fans have had to travel is the main difference in the attendance figures at the Madstad. Crystal Palace, Swansea and QPR are the games with 20,000+ attendances.

The attendance yesterday was in line with all the other games that away fans had to travel any great distance.

? :|

I heard yesterday that the club are trying to clear Y26 and tape it off? Anyone hear similar?

I had heard it was for STH's, but the couple I heard discussing it on Saturday claim the club want netting in place to distance us from the away fans. Because we're a real handful, of course. :roll:
