reddogkev Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Surely, Sheff Utd will, but what about the rest? Have we got the support / desire to sell out all remaining games? Would be great to see the ground full to the rafters with City fans for the final few home games. If the gate is not full, then this will surely demonstrate that prices are too bloody expensive!

1960maaan Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 If we can somehow rediscover our form, get a run going then yes. If we continue to splutter and lose ground , no. It is really that simple. Even the last game won't sell out if there is nothing riding on it for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Not a chance....we haven’t ‘truly’ sold out a game all season have we? The real figures that we saw recently were significantly less than the ‘published at the time’ figures....so, no, we won’t sell out .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every seat doesn’t need to be occupied, for it to be a sell out. It just needs all available tickets to be sold. Unlikely that any apart from Sheffield will get close to selling out the Atyeo. So i’d guess the most we could hope for is 22k plus whatever the away following is. It’s hardly the clubs’ fault If people buy tickets but then don’t turn up..!

I think if we beat Barnsley we'll be looking at 23k+ for Brentford as they won't bring more than 1,000. Hull again won't bring more than 1,000, if we're on track for top six could be 25k. Sheffield United will sell out if we need something, we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonM88 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 We need 89,000 people to attend Ashton Gate over the four games for an average attendance of 21,000 over the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosey Boy Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 If away teams don't look like selling anywhere near the 3.7k allocation/capacity, I'd expect the club to segregate the AS for the games in April in order to maximise home support? Sheff Utd will sell out and wouldn't be surprised to see Brum do too, given the position they are in Stick the 1,000 or so Brentford/Hull fans in the corner and max out number of City fans in there!

So? Sunderland give their gate as 28k every week, there's never more than 20k there. The only club I've ever known not count STHs that don't attend is Reading, hardly gaining an advantage.

That’s not true...Sunderland gave their home gates against Fulham and Cardiff as 25k, against Forest, Bolton, Villa and QPR as 26k and they also announced gates under 28k for home games vs Reading, Bristol City, Millwall, Hull, Ipswich and Brentford....they’ve also announced home gates of over 29k and over 31k this season....

Apologies, what I meant was - we haven’t seen a match this season where everyone who has bought a ticket has turned up, so the stadium has never actually been full, including the games vs Man U and Man C .... and I thought I was the pedantic one!
