I guess if it had been one of the famed Senior Reds lunches you’d have been there....... Anyway enjoy the excitement of playing with your balls. Me and the boy are looking forward to the game.

I reckon you can take a total of about 2k off of the actual capacity in home areas. Still an excellent attendance though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as possible, a thousand or so not on sale in the Atyeo and another few hundred for cameras. Should be around 25k I would think. Cheaper tickets helps of course but the pull of the FA cup aint totally dead.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tears in rain Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 A potential good example of what could happen if we drop ticket prices. Enjoy the game those of you attending!

I was wondering where we could fit another 3000 people in too. Probably more than 150 you mention spare in the upper Lansdown, and quite a few in the lower next to the Wolves fans too. There were a few seats near me in the SS today spare too. I don’t usually sit here and chose seats right in the middle, a prime spot I thought but there were odd seats available which surprised me.

There were empty corporate areas. A reduction in Atyeo capacity of 800? for segregation. Probably several hundred taken out for tv camera points. Plus 10% reduction for areas where standing is tolerated, plus seats dotted around. Losing 3k seats in a 27k capacity ground isn’t difficult. One thing I don’t get, is why the ticketing system, once at general sale stage, doesn’t make you take the next available seats, rather that letting people leave odd single seats available. Surely not hard to programme. Let people pick their preferred stand & block. Even row, but then auto select the next available seats, rather than let people leave odd ones.

There were a few being a bit loud, kids mostly, but it all seemed good humoured. There didn`t seem to be any hint of trouble. Might have been different if we`d won mind.
