With away support, there was under 20k City for both Newcastle and Villa (although there were capacity restrictions at those 2 games). What the lower price seems to have done is to make the "less attractive" games more attractive. Yep, fair comment Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week they cancelled a number of suspect tickets after speaking with purchasers and will be trawling again this week! good news I think on trains as the more fans away from the road closures the better. we are prepared for a good day of football with hopefully no issues, it's been a long season and city fans have been very well behaved, makes my job much easier . !! Question if I may. If you catch people where they shouldn't will you arrest them or allow them to join the away fans like heroes? I think I know the answer if City fans infiltrated the Brum area.

INCRED Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 7 hours ago, JakeOTIB said: Read somewhere on the forum that there was just over 250 tickets left ... But I reckon there will be around 24k which is very good considering the season we've had! Just booked my ticket this evening, only upper west stand available and as a member got for £15 although am about 4 rows from the very top of the stand so hopefully no low cloud next Sunday. Looks like there are about 200 or so tickets left so very much near capacity and our biggest crowd since our Div 1 days. Should be a great atmosphere!

However, it could be costly, to reduce match day prices you would also need to reduce season ticket prices to keep them attractive. The problem comes if you commit to that and then the increase in sales doesn't transpire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 One thing is for sure, the crowd on Sunday will be one in the eye for those (myself included) that thought the biggest crowds this season would be rugby ones. Only the two games against Bath exceeded 20,000 and not by much at that. The next best were against Worcester at just over 16k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodjias Wrist Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Well if they do score or get close to scoring they will show themselves to the rest of the crowd. Newcastle fans in south stand hospitality corner nearly got slapped this season. I fear its gonna kick off big time at the Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon youre gonna need something like this to deal with 'em all.... Fingers crossed for a peaceful happy match ... but there is 'potential' that stewards and police may have their hands full...

As for their forum, its a bit dumb of him to say that he's in W8 Row 23 and has a Wiltshire address - I doubt he'll be seeing the game as there are only 13 sold in that row as I type so he'll be easily found. There will inevitably be some dotted around the place and its something a lot on here have done for away matches with no away tickets available. As long as they behave themselves it'll be fine. Glad I'm not in W8 row 23 then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 On 2017-5-1 at 16:29, Emperor Palpatine said: The same ones boycotting the club as well I haven't necessarily agreed with some prices as they do seem a little expensive for certain games but when you see we are currently 12th in the average attendance table, people haven't gone overboard with the moaning. The Brum game will see it go over 19k which is very good. Lets not forget that the Upper Lansdown was partially closed for some of the season due to H & S regulations The biggest problem with ticket prices is its so difficult to get friends and family committed in turning up with POTD pricing. A modest interest is all that's needed to get a mate and his nipper to say "yeah, I'll come along". When you tell them how much it is (given they haven't been for years) they spit their pint everywhere. No easy answers, although the discounted games are a blessing.
