Good point! I suppose I mean that a ground full (half full) of people who are only there to watch a cheap (any) match will probably mean the atmosphere is dead because people aren't that bothered. I know what I mean..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 WHU v Chelsea, a Manchester derby and City v Hull. A Sky TV programme scheduler's dream. Sympathies with the Sunderland fans having to travel to Soton for a mid week game; 350 miles each way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what I mean..! The people who are bothered will be there either way. Therefore your suggestion that the atmosphere will be worse with more people in the ground is....dubious. We need to grow the fanbase to fill the stadium more regularly, and cheap tickets for cup matches is another good way of doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok not one for the glory boys but a Prem side at home and every chance of a close to full ground with sensible pricing. We make the last eight anything can happen. I don't think we'd come close to filling the ground if tickets were free. its a crap draw our recent record against hull is woeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well on that basis I'd give priority or £10 tickets to those who also attend a previous league match first. Get them in for 2 games if possible. I don't think it'll be a tenner anyway. £15 more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just sell all the tickets for £10 or £15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what I mean..! If there is a chance of us making into the quarter finals then the gate will be rocking even if there is 15k of part time support. I'm thinking if it's a close game or goes to extra time etc. That extra support could win it. I can only see Hull bringing 500 or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarksRobin Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 The year we go on a decent cup run happens to coincide with the year there is no headline sponsor. I imagine the prize money is substantially reduced this year as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, very fat people are entitled to their opinions too. Uncle TFR Dean Windass was a hell of a footballer in that he absolutely made the most of his limited talents. I always liked the geezer and hold nothing against him for scoring that winner (I still hold the City bench responsible for that for not spotting how seriously injured Bradley Orr was and allowing him to play on, which ultimately cost us the goal). He recently spoke publicly about his difficulties with depression which I personally found quite moving. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36403885 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing wrong with this, it's the same as saying a lorry is fatter than a renault clio. Uncle TFR P.S. Mishal Husain: nice, isn't she??
