They sold their allocation a few days before the game and a good while after they went on general sale, so they were hardly queuing round the block for them at that time. I suspect pretty much everyone who wanted a ticket for the game got one. You're not going to get ticketless fans travel for...

Ah, a remake of the classic 1889 shirt, Don't usually get too giddy about kit releases, but that's class.

Not even Bristol City can get away with that, not historically anyway.

Fair enough, didn't pick up on that! My bad. I was eating a kebab at the time and most of my attention was focused on that tbf.

Get what? I have been arguing all week that people's expectations are to high for this game; I have been agreeing with you on that. But to claim we'll only get 12K every week in this division, and that nobody outside of that 12K gives a shit about the club, doesn't qualify as grown up...

Think everyone gets that, and it makes perfect sense where demand outstrips supply. For Barnsley though, supply will outstrip demand, so odd that they enforced it for this game (unless Barnsley are for some reason are limiting the max allocation for this game of course).

Yep, make utterly batshit predictions like that and expect to be called out on it.

So true, the idea that is is the same 12K every week, and not simply a case that crowds , excluding ST holders, are made up from a large pool of fans who'll pick and choose games. Like the idea someone who goes Sunday but not to Reading, and someone else who does the opposite, are part of the...

£500 bet right now that we will get more than 12K home fans for every single home league game this season (Covid capacity restrictions excluded).

I don't think it'll be as low as you think. They'll be a good walk up, and it'll be one of the biggest crowds of the weekend - despite all the factors like TV, kick-off time and the fact it is the 1st time we've broken to £30 barrier in our history. Even had a call off our kid this morning who...

What if it's 21,000; that's 17.2K City, or what if it is 22K? What sort of crowd do you think we should be getting for this game? When does it go from poor to OK?

Not only have my 4 ST replacements not arrived, but a couple of tickets I purchased for family 8 days ago not turned up either. They can't really keep the ticket office closed tomorrow surely?

Oh yes, it did decline year on year: 2012 15,119 2011 16,310 2010 17,305 2009 17,408 2008 19,123 2007 20,342 2006 21,302 My point was, that even in 2011 at 16.3K, it was the 11th highest average out of the 24 clubs, so many of these clubs that were taking the piss every...

Like I say, really hope you manage to swerve it and all is well with the family. I would certainly go the game if I tested negative before I left the house, but we all make different choices, and I wasn't having a pop so hope it didn't come across like that, but I do get frustrated by some of...

Sorry Pete, not judging you, but I'm baffled by this. People seem to have lost the ability to think rationally and properly assess risk. So, despite being double vaccinated (recently, so you're as protected from this as you're ever going to be, this is as good as it gets), and despite testing...

You do have to cringe sometimes. That said, we're far from the worst culprits. I take the occasional look at other clubs and some of the abuse the twitter admin gets is unbelievable. It's an absolute cesspit that place.

Do you have to miss it though? If you are double vaccinated and if you do a test on the morning of the game and it is negative, why do you have to isolate? We're only a few days away from that being official government advice anyway, but it has been what most people have been doing for months...

It was sung occasionally, and most often in League 1 and I'm sure we've sung it plenty ourselves at others. In the Championship our average gates were between 17.5K and 21.5K apart from our relegation season when it slipped. Comfortably top half of the division, which it will be again this season.

Sales are slow for a lot of clubs this weekend. Derby, Cardiff, Preston, Stoke and Blackburn - loads of empty seats at all these grounds, these are teams playing on a Saturday, not on TV, and they all have cheaper tickets available, but they're miles from being sell outs. There are also 3 days...

No we didn't.
