italian dave Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Please. @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO Help us all! The club must know the true numbers of ST holders at the Norwich game...... Maybe then we can broaden the dabate out into other well known phrases heard at football, and how close to the dictionary definitions they are man of the match the greatest team the world has ever seen the gas manager's mother's profession for starters....

You said it was misleading so we agree on that. Luckily the true attendance figures are available as per the chart above so I doubt the club, or any City fans, will be bragging about our 'high attendances' when the real number in the ground for each game is known to be many thousands fewer every week, and at times of fan disenchantment, fewer still.

I'll find those figures very interesting because they will show the level of disenchantment. Holiday crowds are traditionally well in excess of the norm, so it's ridiculous anyone arguing they might be down due to the Christmas season. Best leave it there I think, it's late and the thread is going nowhere. Let's revisit when the actual attendances are publicised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL may be up in the Gods with the kids now, and therefore away from immediate fan pressure, but he also has an unrivalled view of all the empty seats. Does he care? To an extent, of course he does, but the project comes first imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 1 hour ago, Ska Junkie said: You don't think the people saying they aren't going to various games and won't be renewing is a concern then RRH? I'm aware of at least 6 SC holders, long standing fans who just cannot be bothered to attend, myself included today. Others, on here, have intimated as much quite regularly. Unfortunately, while your scenario wouldn't be such a cause for concern, I don't think it's the norm in a lot of cases, people are being turned away by the boring dross being served up and in numbers too by the looks of it. To repeat myself (and others), there are no issues regarding our position, it's the entertainment value, it's just not there. Your last sentence sums up why I’ve completely stopped going after 40 years. I’ve watched more than 50 live games this season in non league football, and can honestly say that the entertainment value ( ok, not the higher technical quality) knocks spots of LJ’s boring negative non excistant game plan.

pongo88 Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 This is amazing! We’ve got three pages of arguments about City publishing attendances higher than they really are whilst, at Rovers, they claim approx 8,000 attend each week when, in reality, there are only 326 in the ground.

What a sad if correct indictment that is Bill. Why can't others see it and the inevitable drop in sales. The difference is, we come on here and after 40 years for you similar for me, we still care.

The Exiled Robin Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 7 hours ago, Alessandro said: Now lows on mOanTIB. Arguing over the attendance. We know the official attendance isn't the actual, those figures aren't released - so any arguing one way or another is stabbing in the dark and guessing at numbers. As we "are where we are" - so are our attendances. Mid-table football won't draw in the floating fans and it's the busy Christmas period, some people have other priorities. Actual figures released here: https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-city-attendances-crowds-1819-2000244 tbf to city they are one of only a few clubs who do eventually publish actual attendance numbers. what this shows is that even when everything’s rockin and rolling like it was for Wolves last year, an amazing 3,000 didn’t turn up. Even before all the Man U half-season ticket sales, all the early season games when we were going well had minimum 2,500 not turn up! Whether it was or wasn’t 7,000 (seems high considering the Sheff Weds snow game wasn’t that high) who didn’t turn up for Norwich looks less dramatic given that context?

Looks like they’ll have morethan us for a second time this season... Huh? How is 18k sold higher than 21k sold? 9 hours ago, BobBobSuperBob said: You seem to be confused by the vast difference between tickets sold and attendances Nearly 7000 season ticket holders didn’t turn up for Norwich I didn't turn up to the Norwich game for the reason that it was just before Xmas, money a bit tight, I'd rather have used that day to prepare for Xmas and I was suffering from the flu plus I expected us to get hammered. I'm sure out of the 7000 that didn't attend their reasonings would be similar. A pre Xmas game is the wrong game to be asking questions as to why 7000 didn't turn up. 8 hours ago, WolfOfWestStreet said: The club call it the "attendance" though, which it isn't. So we should change the word to tickets sold instead of announced? 8 hours ago, BobBobSuperBob said: It’s a reasonable gauge of current fan (ST holder) satisfaction is it not ?

Up The City! Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I may be in the minority here but I think selling 21k tickets for a game against Rotherham is pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
