And people were told not to sit their by stewards. Can't be an accident and can't be due to no one wanting to buy tickets there for those games. It's another err on the side of caution decision. Thought the blocks were only opened as the rest of the ground sold out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 And on the other side of town, the club with the best support in Bristol is averaging less than 9,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought, I'm pretty sure they're sold on a block by block basis when they open the Upper Lansdown. I could be wrong but I guess it's easier to steward instead of having a couple of thousand people spread out across the entire upper level?

Midlands Robin Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Forest Green having a higher average than Yeovil is quite a surprise. As for ourselves, with our maximum capacity, if we ever reached the Premier league the best we could hope for is to finish 14th. There are some huge stadiums up and down the country now.

Will need to build a second tier over other parts of the ground. Since space is a problem, perhaps a double decker is needed.

Didn't sell enough for Cardiff or Leeds but did for Newcastle. Hmmmmm..... Maybe you're right Pete, or maybe there is a reason that area is kept empty for matches the club thinks are problematical.

BRISTOL86 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 If we were to get promoted would POTD all but be eradicated or would we limit STs? Assuming max capacity is c. 26.5k and the entire Atyeo remained away only, that would leave, what, c. 22k ? Would that 22k all be able to be sold as STs? And if so would we sell them all? You’d like to think if we can sell 14k or whatever the number is now, after two successive relegation dogfights, we could easily sell the entire home area of the stadium in STs.

I would be amazed if we didn’t sell all tickets as STs. Based on our last stint in the top division the interest would surely mean the club would maximise demand/income. I am sure the club would still offer the monthly direct debit facility currently in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Red Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Interesting to see this table Including STs. I bet ours (12k at the start of the season?) is why below half way which suggests we sell a lot on a one- match basis. This should change with our recent Half Season offer and take us to 11th. Doubt we can do better than that this season but just watch the 'Quarter ST' sales when Bristolians wake up to what the management team are doing right now and how the public won't want to miss out on seeing MAN Utd in the league next season!!

We are no Man U but then Teesside has not got the population of Greater Manchester ( should I say the entire planet). We have won very little of note in over a hundred years of trying., despite this we have the highest all time crowds of any town team and stand at number 16 on the best supported team by average. we have been at our new ground for 22 seasons this being our 23. Over those 22 seasons (long enough for any new ground syndrome to have worn off) we have averaged 26,628. I don't think this is two shabby at all. Yes our crowds rise and fall depending on results etc., but then again most other teams do too. As I say its football claptap that we have no fans.

Port Said Red Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Does anyone know why there were large sections of the Lower Lansdown empty on Saturday? I wondered if these were coach parties from some of the outlying areas (Bridgwater, Taunton, etc) it seemed strage that it was seats in whole blocks of about 30-40 in different sections.

Before that there wasn’t a lot of difference between the two averages. Wednesday haven’t averaged 30,000 + in living memory, the Blades had 30,300 ( ish) in 2007/8 and 33,000 + in 1971. The Wednesday have had higher average attendances overall. Wednesday get a lot of support from the former mining villages of South Yorkshire. United’s support is largely Sheffield based, although there are supporters clubs in North Notts and North Derbyshire cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
