It is pure undying love. You get angry with it but can't stay away ultimately. Its the same love for your wife. You get pissy with her and think - stuff the moany fat bitch - she can do one, but after an hour you are missing your banter and you cave cos you realise you can't do without. Bottom line is she is your moany fat bitch and city is your club - end of really !! Very nicely put Neo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought I would do this but it was just too f/cking depressing at the time. I didn't miss any games last season, tempting though it was, because despite what some claim, we never descended to the same depths of depression of the S'OD times. Also managed to get to about 8 away games last season, which I definitely couldn't stomach in the S'OD days. Not-so-bad times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'm impressed that season card sales aren't lower than this time last year - especially following a "difficult" season and also now that there isn't the same novelty of the new stand. Good effort all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCRED Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 21 hours ago, EnclosureSurge said: Largely, the people I know who have boycotted are pay-on-the-dayers. They boycotted individual games last season. They've not been persuaded to buy a season ticket nor are planning to go to any/as many pay-on-the-day games as last season, so I wouldn't assume the 'stay away' culture hasn't manifested itself. And, with an increase in prices, I'd suggest more or less everyone who wants a season ticket has now got one. There was plenty of early bird time, with ample info about the increases in price, then a second phase which was equally well publicised,whicht heralded further purchases, now we're into the very tail end of sales. Summer 2016, at this juncture, yielded about 1,700 final chance buyers, by my calculations. I wouldn't be surprised to see that, whilst sales are up 3% at the mo' (that only equates to about 400 people, mind), eventually we'll be a bit down on last year's 13,800. I'm presuming that was the figure in August, I don't suppose many people bought a season ticket once we were underway, maybe a few. I'd be surprised if we topped last year's numbers (I'm talking in August, before a ball is kicked) but I guess it's possible. Some good quality signings might do it. As Red Army said, it's still a good total. I was a pay on the dayer but for the first time decided to get an early bird season ticket i seen enough in the last 6 games to encourage me that next season could be far more successful I am an eternal optimist though!

More than 5,500 have now been sold as supporters come forward to back Harry Redknapp and the boys. That's two-and-a-half times more sold by the comparable date three years ago. And that's around 2,500 better than two years ago, when Season Tickets went on sale 37 days earlier than this season. So it's clear that supporters are right behind Blues since the launch of the Club's #TheHeartofBlues Season Ticket campaign. Read more at http://www.bcfc.com/news/article/2016-17/birmingham-city-3729495.aspx#hR6Fc3ZvOZOoQX59.99 Its a strange one though because when birmingham are doing half well their attendances seem to shoot up more so than similar sized clubs. We seem to be getting more walkups than ever before and a couple of top half finishes could see us being one of the highest in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Don Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Great to see people are sticking with the club, I know people have their reasons not to due to work/financial commitments etc but it's another very good base to build from if we sign a few decent players and results go our way on the pitch. Reckon we could beat last seasons average attendance record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With more away fans and a slightly better season we could break the 20k easily IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be giving them more to be fair, maximising revenue and creating a better atmosphere. Always find Ashton Gate a much more hostile place when there's a big away following.

I don't wholelly agree with that, it should be limited by the number of home fans I only, i wouldn't say give Leeds 4000 if we only sold 12k ourselves, if we've sold 20k however then yea give um them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that reading about a sold out away end increases a fixtures profile and gets the floating fans to get themselves down the gate. More the merrier, imo.
