Bar BS3 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 About 20-22k I’d guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs11lad Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Still wish it was 7-45 Friday night, that would have been a sell out !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge1981 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Can’t see it selling out just because of the early kick off time but I would guess about 23k. Shame it isn’t a night game as I’m sure we’d have a few thousand more through the turnstiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 You would hope- though I appreciate so many games atm, expensive time etc- but you would hope for 24k IMO. We are doing excellent. Cardiff (pains me to say it) riding high. Is a derby game anyway! Cardiff are bound to fill their allocation (unless they have restrictions due to safety etc)? Our best chance IMO of beating them since 2012. Subject to Cardiff allocation, you would hope the attendance might be 24k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosey Boy Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 According to CCFC forum, as of last Friday, they had sold 2,100 tickets for Sat. Initial allocation is 2,800 with option of taking it to the max of 3,800. They appear unlikely to sell out and so reckon it will be 22k in total. Lets hope the boys bring back 3 points tonight and then could be more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron-Bcfc Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Won't be near a sell out as adult tickets for non-members start at £33. A ticket in the stand that Steve Lansdown named after himself will also set you back £41 so the chances of anyone rocking up on the day at those prices are minimal.

Lansdown didn’t name the stand after himself. Others did. If people aren’t going to attend enough matches to get a membership, and cherry pick just a few games a season, then I don’t think the ticket price is all that important for them. So, ticket prices for regular fans are from £28. Could be a few quid less, but I don’t think the difference of £3-4 is going to actually stop many people attending a game, if football & City are “their thing” I’m surprised Cardiff aren’t nearer selling out, in their position, with no travel restrictions that I know of. I think there will be around 19-20k Home fans, plus whatever Cardiff add to the attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ticket in the stand that Steve Lansdown named after himself will also set you back £41 so the chances of anyone rocking up on the day at those prices are minimal. There was similar pricing for the game against Leeds and it was getting close to a sell-out. Against Cardiff it looks like the attendance will exceed 20k, which means more than half of the non-ST places will have been sold. From a total profitability point of view, any reduction in matchday pricing is therefore limited. It is also important to remember that the scope for reducing prices for individual games should not diminish the value of purchasing a ST. I do think the pricing is high, but from a business point of view it is probably about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ve waited all day for an evening kick off and it’s a big cup match or against a local rival people’s energy levels seem to rise and there’s chance for more of a ‘build up’ before the game starts. Lunchtime kick offs are just shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant remember too many other early kick off games. I’m pretty sure the atmosphere will be be decent, so long as the game isn’t a complete flop or lost in the early stages.

I also think it was during the bad period and we were at a low ebb. I also think the atmosphere is better generally this season, now that all areas of the ground are settled.
