Engvall's Splinter Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hi All, Anyone know if the club are opening the Upper Tier Lansdown on Friday? Many of the seats in the SS and Lower Lansdown appear sold. Cheers Eng Splints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unan Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Probably not, although unsure, Sky + Friday will put a fair few off coming. Staff costs etc means they have to sell a fair few up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider red Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 I would have thought we should get 20k plus for this one, so should be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redapple Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Not for me to tell you how to spend your money, but football matches are variable. The two previous games were crackers. If you want to watch a certainty go to the theatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraham Lincoln would've posted on their saying that he and the Mrs would be going to Ford's Theatre Washington the following night to watch My American Cousin. Underneath it would say John Wilkes-Booth likes this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engvall's Splinter Posted August 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Atmosphere was superb last year against Villa. Expecting the same despite the televised showing. Their fans seem to gee our own up, plus we were very good 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestonRobin Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Can't see the top tier being open (with the exception of the family area) We have a 27,000 seater stadium and we'll lose approx 500 for netting in the Atyeo - that leaves 26,500. I believe from what's been written on here that the top tier holds 4,500 therefore last year it would only have be open if we have sold 22,500...however this year the family section has been moved meaning that it would only be open if we sell another 1,000 - 1,500 (so, 23,500 - 24,000) As it's on tv on a Friday night during the peak holiday season I can't see us selling 20,000 tickets in the home end. Really disappointing because in the right circumstances we should be selling out for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that is fact be really disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 I think it will be open - they are going to get a good crowd so no reason for it not to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanemochi Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Looks like there's a little over 1,100 tickets available in the 3 stands (excluding hospitality). Not sure how many the club normally sell with POTD but could well see the lansdown upper open later in the week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
