Jerry St Clair biscuitman Oh dear. Thousands of empty seats in the Blackpool end on Saturday.
Not surprising really.
It's a £150 day out, for fans of a club that were there 2 years ago, from a town that has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. I think 30,000 is actually a decent turn out.
the figure was 28500 sold as of last night, so it depends how many they shift between this morning and the end of tomorrow.
They are also still only selling to people on their database, which seems a bit daft for people popping into the club ticket office. Sure, some ticketless West Ham fans might be desperate enough to take a day off work, drive up to Blackpool, and put on their best northern accent and try and buy a ticket, but not that many, surely?
