What a day over here, good luck Monday you c***

Ha put the rum down pal.

Great numbers from Brentford last night, taken seconds before teams came out so you can add at least another dozen.

We had a count up and my figure was 181, could be a few more or less, my eyesight isn't brilliant.

I'd take the piss but we only took 450 odd to boro on a Saturday.

Sold the bottom tier for Blackburn away, upper tier goes on sale today which a lot of people seem to be waiting for, no idea why.

Gonna be a 7.5k job then. Great away support.

You would think so with 8 1/2 days of sales left.

Less than half hour journey at second tier level, not exactly impressive, more expected really!

About 70% of their home support so behave

One day you'll manage that for an away day rather than six games combined

 

[SF_]

Don't think it's anything to shout about due to distance, but certainly don't think a sell out is 'expected' considering our home crowds.

You’ll find all southern clubs have restricted away ends... however we’ve taken 3k to Charlton and 4k to Fulham which take double the time at least.

No comparison at all.

Ipswich travel well.

MK Dons don't, you'll be playing em next season.....

 

[Brad-Owl]

Given sufc another 1,000 tickets, SAG must have changed there minds about lower tier.

What did you get at their place?

That is still such a horrific comparison that’s still 3 and a bit times the journey time of Preston to Blackburn. Anyone got the actual following when they were in the championship?

And the fact you are absolutely no where near selling out the other 3 stands.

 

[blademan89]

2100 odd

North has sold out mate.....

 

[villa loyal]

Looks like Blades in the North stand then. Could be messy.

No it doesn't, North is the only stand that regularly sells out.

Can see them being all over the place. They will be like horse shit.

Based on what? you need a purchasing history to buy.

There'll be the odd few but nothing like you would believe, never has been.

It’s easily enough done mate. We have thousands of Blues in home areas every season when we play them. It’s a well known fact the Holte end is half and half on second City derby day. You catch my drift.

 

[Brad-Owl]

What did you get at their place?

2,192

 

[villa loyal]

Surprised you’re giving them the full end then.

No reason not too they've no where near sold out the other stands so don't need the lower tier themselves. Youd expect a "MASSIVE" club to sell 30k tickets wouldn't you for the biggest game of the season.

I’d expect close to a sell out at least

About 26k home fans

I remember Blades fans saying attendances didn't matter .....
