the frampton balti Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I sat in williams on sunday. I couldnt help noticing that there was loads of empty seats in the south stand whereas the dolman was practically full. I deduce that because the game was sold out almost in the southstand that these empty seats were season ticket holders that either moved like myself or more likely simply did not turn up. What did the williams look like.? Are dolman fans less fickle than southstanders ? Are johnson complainers mainly southstanders ??? Not that interesting but a little bit ....there really was a massive difference in the number of empties... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I have a ST in the south stand and I know I wont make every game so it's the cheaper seats in the south stand that sway me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 South stand usually looks a third empty. I guess it’s better value to get a ST in there and only go to half the games, than pay POTD elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 A lot of people left early on Sunday, the guy behind me to exchange a shirt in the shop. I don’t know why others were leaving before the end but I guess they all have different reasons, traffic, buses, trains etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstandrobin Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Sit in the SS in S19. Good view of the pitch from there and cheap as a senior at £300 a year. Lot of prawn sandwich around where I sit so can explain sometimes if lots of seats vacant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 When I was in the Family section of the Lansdown last season, I always thought there were a lot of empty seats in the South Stand considering I couldn't get four STs in a row there. I think people either buy there not expecting to make every match, or people buy kids tickets as well and then rarely/never take them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the frampton balti Posted December 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I must confess that because of the logistics of getting from that london I only attend around 13 home games a year. Fewer saturday games each year doesnt help. However i dont think my situation is that common. Did seem that dolmon was almost full though. Maybe there are less season t holders there?? 5 minutes ago, oldstandrobin said: Sit in the SS in S19. Good view of the pitch from there and cheap as a senior at £300 a year.

Sit in S21, mixed kind of crowd (age wise), families and groups. Not sure what constitutes a prawn sandwich (possibly me) but they are all usually there every game.

cidercity1987 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I'll be one of the guilty ones. I've got a season ticket in the SS due to the cost but Ive probably missed half the home games this season. I couldn't face going on Sunday and spent a nice day with my 2 month old son instead.

Sixtyseconds Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Their not even entry level yet. Dolman smashes it. South stand is new stand Bigger exits, more of them. Unlike lee Johnsons tactics its synchronised perfection. Everybody knows their role. One bad pass and you know the proper response. The Dolman shuffle is now a surge. Its an art.

We know the club leave 10% of the S82 section empty, I wonder how many people from other parts of the South Stand fill this 10%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
