[Cavan O'Doherty]

Seems like this is gaining momentum. Didn't think it would be anyway near this figure.

Its a win win for the club, great bit of pr, maybe a full house against a team we probably wouldnt of gotten 8k to and the extras from F&B plus im sure there will be a few extra purchases made in the club shop. Be nice to see the ground full again even if it is a bit screachy

shame only sold 8k at the cheap price so far

but big crowd will be welcome.

To be fair I think most people would pay £4 but are likely to know a kid that's been given free tickets.

I think the closing date for the schools offer has only closed so it might be that some are waiting for the outcome of that first.

Well done Italia you managed to drag your beloved London Wasps into the conversation but as you have this is a one off not a once a game thing

Nothing wrong with promotions then ?

 

[covcity4life]

quite excited. see JCH perhaps. squad seems strong even without jones and andreu

 

[ccfcricoh]

Can't wait for this - hopefully a win at Forest Green will see the "on the fence" fans snapping up the rest of tickets to make it a full house!

 

[italiahorse]

If the issue is some fans cant get tickets I would say the whole exercise has been very successful indeed

Only if they turn up.
I'm looking forward to a full stadium so would hate people to grab all the tickets because they are free and then don't turn up.
Worst case scenario is people walking up can't get tickets and we loose money, but unlikely.

Promotions giveaways call them what you want, one offs are ok every week is called desperate

It's only 3k sold at £5 we have 5k season ticket holders but still another week to go.

This should be nearing on a sell out, which I expected it to be.

As I've been trying to say for ages, many of the fans who have given up on the club need incentives to go again. This is a really smart move from the club as hopefully it will get them hooked once more. £5 a ticket is a huge fishing rod cast out across the city.

If we can beat Accrington then we will be in a really healthy position (as long as we beat FGR first).

I am all for cheap tickets and agree would lead to bigger attedneces ans good will


However 14k free tickets in a sellout should not be ignored lol

So we don't give tickets away every home game ?

Not thousands or this amount, no.

Again, give it a rest it's boring.

Its boring because its not slagging off stay away fans or Wasps ?

 

[coop]

If a £5 ticket and a team playing well with a chance of promotion will not attract fans back nothing will unfortunately.

 

[Liquid Gold]

If we beat FGR and win against Stanley then I'm getting the t-shirts printed

No, it's boring because you keep trying the same old nonsense that stands out a mile.

Give it a rest.

good idea.. Front 'We'll play where we want' and back '#loveSISU'

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

Hope they all turn up will be good to see the ground full. As an aside remember a game sitting in the East Stand at HR loads of kids free for three days after the game I I thought I'd got titinus

Send me the guidelines on what is allowed to be said on here again.
I'm praising the actions of the club and looking forward to a full arena.
The irony of it is that it's exactly what wasps do yet it can't be mentioned.
I'm usually slagged off for defending exactly this so forgive me for returning the compliment.

Lets hope people want to be part of this and we get a full house.

The guidelines are that if you try to shoehorn wasps being great into a thread like this then it will be pointed out.

It's also been pointed out to you that it's a one off, rather than week in week out which it's why it is completely different.

How come they don't get over 20000 every game

Just start another thread if you want to talk about wasps. This is something genuinely positive happening with the club and nobody wants it derailed.

At least we're record holders in something now.

Im buzzing about this already. I hope FGR don't bring me down with a bump tomorrow.

We have more fans. Just need to help them return.

Already hold a few larger support in charity shield, largest attendance semi final checkatrade and support in final.and I think largest away support at Man Utd

I'm talking about wasps after all you keep saying we are doing the same as them

We're bloody massive.

In an ideal world we will beat FGR, win well against Accrington Stanley and the club will see the error of their ways and make the match day pricing more reasonable to entice the fans back.
In the real world it's 11v11 and anything can happen.
I hope that we do perform well, heroes are made on days like this. The kid that writes the name of his favorite player in his book, the scarf tied around the bed post, the programme in the drawer, badgers his parents to go again. That child was me.

What a twist at the end.

Potentially yes will we ever achieve that potential that's the problem

What we need is for it to be a "bandwagon" type thing every game. I know people say it's the pricing but when we were drawn MK the bandwagon was on as soon as the balls came out of the bag ( ). People were going to go and people wanted tickets because it is already rolling.
