ChippenhamRed Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 We're definitely seeing some new stadium "bounce", combined with a pretty positive start to the season and a good summer. Great to see. I don't think we'd be seeing these sort of attendances at the old Ashton Gate if all other circumstances were the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malago Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 I would have thought anything north of 18,000 would be a good crowd. Same would apply on Sat against Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Grim Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I still think the club should be doing all they can to push tickets, they don't seem to do alot. Don't know if the away tickets were included in that figure. I can't find anywhere if they've sold out or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't look like they've had their initial allocation of 1,800 increased. I'm surprised we allowed them a beam back for a game they hadn't sold out, although maybe the saving on police costs is great than another 1,000 tickets being sold to dirty Leeds!

If this City team progress and continue to play football that is a joy to watch then this alone and more than any other factor will ensure sell out crowds.

Things like "the countries top scorer plays at Ashton Gate" "20,000 crowds - why don't you join them?" "we are going places. Come and join in the fun!" "we can achieve big things with your support" have a big push at half season tickets & quid a kid matches. Even a panoramic image of inside the stadium for those who haven't yet been in there etc. Changing them regularly to keep them fresh and noticed.

You'd be surprised how many people don't know when we're Home, I work with various Arsenal,WHU,Man U fans, even the 'City' supporters have asked me before if we're home or away. It never hurts to remind people that things are taking place, and if they continue with PotD then it allows people to make a late decision when at a loose end, even better with the kids discounts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Just seen on FB someone asking for tickets for the Leeds game, when it was pointed out that we've only sold about 17k , he said he still couldn't get 2 together. Something not quite right with the ticketing still. And for those that saw my post about them selling my mates ST seat again, no response from the club via Twitter or email, will try again this week.
