potbelly Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 How many games will realistically attract a sell out away following?Personally i don`t think we will see that many more away fans at the gate this season.The restrictive POD prices work both ways. How many Colchester / Burnley fans will want to travel to pay £30.00?If we had stayed in Div 1, we would have had Gas, Forest, Leeds, Yeovil, Swansea, all bringing big numbers.In summary, our average gate this season will not be many more than last year, and that is very dissapointing.

elhombrecito Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 How many Colchester / Burnley fans will want to travel to pay £30.00?They won't need to. Looking at EE ST prices and the saving shown on the official site, POTD prices will be £25. Pretty standard for the Championship I'd guess.

westonred Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 If we had stayed in Div 1, we would have had Gas, Forest, Leeds, Yeovil, Swansea, all bringing big numbers.You have mentioned only 5 matches where we might have got a full away end (and the Gas hardly ever fill it, they don't like coming south of the river) I can think of at least 14 matches next season where there is a posibility of the opposition filling the EE.CardiffCharltonCoventryCrystal PalaceLeicesterPlimuffQPRBoth Sheffield teamsSouthamptonStokeWatfordWest BromWolves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More season ticket holders, bigger away support = Bigger gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
