Port Said Red Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Really? Why were there so many empty seats in both the South Stand (about 3/4 full) and the Atyeo, (we had empty seats above below and either side of us)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 I was thinking the same as well. Sure the season ticket holders that don't show up make a difference but surely we weren't missing 2000 or so of them. Couldn't have been a sellout.

Laner Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 I'm guessing the block in the South Stand was empty because of the huge crane which would have restricted any view? Not sure about Atyeo though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS3_RED Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 The capacity this season is not based on how many seats are available but on the lack of exits I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 A fair few have admited buying an extra child's ticket, essentially reserving a seat next to them which they can then "upgrade" each time a mate wants to go. How widespread this is I don't know, but It's one factor to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to do you do it at the ticket window at the Ashton Road end and costs the balance between the price per game for the season tickety and the cost of the match ticket.

1960maaan Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 My mate tried to buy his Dad a ticket near us, lower Williams , and the nearest was 4/5 rows away. We got there and there were plenty around us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Maybe some fans are voting with their feet...plus the time of year, clearly plenty just didn't bother turning up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Lady and her son up from me weren`t there - she did say v Hull she had family coming from up country for the weekend so wouldn`t be. That time of year I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtonboy Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 It was the empty seats all around the ground ( not just the Dolman) well before the final whistle that was the saddest and most worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
