Royal LadyYes, but they only sold out just before the game, my point is, if there's another 10,000+ people desperate to see us play, I'm surprised they didn't try to buy a ticket much earlier, to secure their seat.Stranded But they did sell out and Everton could do the same so you could say the demand is there. Obviously it's just one game though so not proof of anything really.

Where did the idea that there are 10,000 people desperate to see us come from ?
The plan is to expand by 6000 to start with.
That would allow an extra 2000 away fans.
So phase 1 would give about 4000 home tickets.
They don;t need to be sold to people 'desperate' to see us play, but it would give more casual fans the chance to come and the club the chance to be more creative.
We are selling out the 24,000 seats every week, and have done for well over a season now.
What do you need as evidence that the capacity can be expanded to allow more people to come ?

Evidence that week in week out sell outs of the existing capacity will be more than a first premiership season phenomenon.

Royal Lady Not really no. I suspect some people with member cards decided to come as it was Chelsea rather than wanting to be part of the RFC "experience" every week, personally. I think this thread will run and run.....

Tonights attendance was larger than we had for our first home game of last season .
Applying your own shortsighted yardstick, surely this means demand is on the increase and that a new "phenomenon" is upon us

I've tried to be polite here but you really are a complete w@nker Woodcote.
1. There were plenty of empty seats yesterday. I presume the attendance announced includes season ticket holders who didn't turn up
2. The home tickets were sold out for the first game of last season
3. Chelsea is one of, if not THE biggest game of the season and tickets were still available a couple of days before the game. The Middlesborough game sold out long before
4. I believe I said we need evidence of sell outs "Week on week". We have had one game so far and the evidence from that is demand has fallen.
Have a day off from being the blinkered tosser you truely are and wait until you have some genuine evidence to support your assertions before replying again on this thread.

The evidence does not show that demand has fallen at all. Esp if you are trying to compare it to last season's opener - in fact the official attendence for this game was bigger than both the opening fixture and the Chelsea game last year.

Stranded People bought the seats. Quite possibly ST holders that couldn't make it, quite common early in the season.
The tickets were sold though and the official attendence (the only one figure that matters really) was bigger than both the opening game last season and that for the Chelsea game last season. I can't see how that is evidence of a lack of demand.

So the attendance - i.e the number of people that attended the game, was less than last year.
The evidence was in the fact that Chelsea are one of the biggest draws in the league and the few thousand tickets available went on general sale and only sold out a day or two before the game.
This was not the case for the game against Chelsea last year, or the first home game of the season last year.
Therefore, the evidence so far is that demand has fallen. Whether this continues to be the case, time will tell.

Schards#2 When tickets sell out is very relevent if the argument is about the level of demand.
Clearly, the sooner they sell out, the higher the level of demand.
