E.G.Red Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Allowing for holidays and those who are having to shield or don’t want to attend mass gatherings at the moment I would expect c18k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weepywall Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 17 to 18k, think we are a couple of thousand down on season ticket sales, covid, holidays etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 12.5k STH's will be counted in the attendance although thousands won't be there. No idea about Blackpool fans - 500? - plus 3k POTD. Fans actually in ground about 13k, depending on Blackpool sales. Official attendance 16-17k.

Will b11 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Was thinking it was going to be near a full house for the first home league game back ! Would be a bit disappointed if it’s anywhere under 20K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be anything I know my old man and a few of his mates were toying with the idea, but now the numbers of infected per day are lowering consecutively they are now edging towards going. I suspect many cant wait to go to bring back some normality whilst many are on holiday still. Tough predication to make but I reckon around 16 / 17k will be the official attendance with maybe 14k / 15k actually there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Do we know the allocation given to Blackpool and whether they have sold out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Musicworks Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Undoubtedly like myself there will be plenty of Season ticket holders who will choose to stay away for now. There will be POTD of course but after 18 months many people have got out of the routine of going to football and will not necessarily rush to return. 15k actually in the ground would be a result.

Kid in the Riot Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Granted, it isn't the only reason I'm not going, but Members prices are £30-38. Lord knows what non-member prices are...£34-42? Hardly enticing people in to watch us against the mighty Blackpool. I agree with others, the "actual" attendance will be sub 15k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 As a former Rob F Rivals(?) site ‘attendance guess’ champion - and what a site that was, never forget the Rob F vs Millwall thread - I confidently predict a holiday/Covid impacted 17,451. For tax purposes it’ll be announced as 8,321. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts too, I’m on holiday for one & am aware of several who have concerns due to age/health plus those who also might be away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 I think Blackpool will travel well as it’s their first game post-promotion. Northern clubs often do in early august anyway. 16-18k sounds a sensible guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 I went to my lads presentation evening in the week and there were lots there. I openly admit to having felt more than a little anxious in that sort of congested crowd. There is absolutely zero chance that I'll be alone with those anxieties. I honestly believe 16k would be an excellent attendance in the circumstances of our current world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red DNA Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 The recent huge spike in Covid numbers was almost certainly a direct result of the crowds at the England game or watching in sports bars. I suspect that fact alone will deter many at live games for a while yet. if I do decide to go I’ll be in the Lansdown which undoubtably has an older profile of supporters. That with the fact more of them are double jabbed and less likely to be out clubbing etc it’ll probably be the safest place to be for those who are still concerned about getting too close to others.

We sent Blackpool an initial allocation of 1,000 tickets, but they can have up to 2,600 in total, apparently the EFL confirmed we can go up to full capacity at Ashton Gate.

Just a question and this is no way a dig at you or anyone else that is wary, just would like to understand people’s thinking. At what point do think you will feel safe to return to watching football in the same manner you did before? Myself personally cannot ever see the rates ever being lower than they are now and do not think the percentage of the population vaccinated will change much from October onwards, possibly even drop if it’s decided that continuous boosters are required each year. At what point do you say ok now I’m comfortable or do you genuinely fear you may never go back to doing things we all love like going to watch city?

1960maaan Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 The people that haven't renewed haven't for many reasons, but one would be cost. I guess the PotD crowd could suffer even more. Add COVID/Holidays and all the other reasons and I'd be surprised if we get much over 16k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myol'man Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 18k + All season tickets counted. Decent away following. No one has gone abroad UK holidays expensive so lets go to the first City match instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 I’m going for us just scraping over 20k. I think the fact that we haven’t had a match for exactly 16 months by the day of the match will entice a few non season ticket holders out. And who knows what the winter will bring from a Covid perspective which also may be a factor for some. I agree though that some regulars won’t yet, some will be on holiday, and some will be scuppered by the Temple Meads work (I saw some Blackpool fans mentioning that as well, along with their concern re the holiday traffic - so there will be less away fans than there might have been).

RedorDead BCFC Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Gutted, I’ve got to isolate from today for the next two weeks (medical procedure next Wednesday) so I’m missing the Villa and Blackpool game. i would think 19k to 20k due to ST being counted but bums on seats around 16k due to holidays and Covid issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 well, not for the first time on here i will be the optimistic one. I dont think anyone has gone for 21,444 but thats my prediction. If STs are 14,500 and i guess Blackpool will end up selling 2000 that means we need one-off or POTD sales of 5000 for me to be right. With all the positive news to come out re Covid, economy in the next week, we'll get those 5000 so that's it; 21,444 A more interesting shout will be how many do we take to Middlesboro? I havent missed on there for ages but have decided not to go so i am thinking 380? My guess is away support will be well down as people pick and choose their games rather than following the team religously Swansea crowd will depend on 3 things; our performance and result v Blackpool, the same at Boro (where we cant expect the previous good results there) and how many tv fans we really have. My guess for that is 18,100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are now reaching the new ‘norm’ sensible precautions but not OTT. Viruses will always be with us. Most a mutation of another virus, so we have to learn to live with them, and that includes adapting where necessary to keep doing the things we love and enjoy.
