I've thought since PNE that our next points were going to come at Blues. Anything else will be a bonus in my head (even though it will be a really crap start).

Well, more like the hotel room of the brave as you always seem to get kicked out at the earliest opportunity and always far sooner than you'd like.

100 miles from Cov.

The £33 a ticket has put me off travelling up Saturday. The cost of fuel has also jumped from around £25 to get to Cov and back to £40. It’s a shame as I’ve only missed Norwich so far this season and will be at Luton. I’m sure there are plenty who will have to be a lot more selective on games this season as well as myself.

Ticket sales look a bit below the PNE game for the home section - guessing the price may be deterring a few (results too ?!) Presume WBA will sell all theirs 9despite price), so still expect a crowd of just over 20k. Hopefully the extra cash will boost the clubs finances). Really could do with something from the game. About time the football gods gave us a helping hand, penalty, sending off, in off the ar*e type stuff, please.
Edit: weather looks nice, so hopefully there will be a decent walk up, and a few won't realise the price until it's too late !!

WBA only sold 2700 as of last night. Price is massively off-putting.

4,000 x average of £20 = £80,000
3,000 x average £25 = £75,000
Obviously an estimated average senior/junior etc, but in addition it's the lost revenue of another 1,000 people at the bars, food etc too. next season's pricing is going to be difficult for clubs, with most of the population squeezed, yet the clubs' costs having spiralled at the same time. Players wages are likely to take a hit, as clubs will just say 'can't afford that' to new signings.
It was members only until today so imagine they’ll shift a few more now

I've heard about 4 different figures from West Brom fans. One said 1800 on Friday and another said 3500 yesterday.
It went on general sale on Monday. I think they should get over 3K by Saturday though.

The poor start and the pricing seems to be having an affect.
Friends, and colleagues who attend a few games a year have all said they wont be bothering Saturday. A 50/50 split tbh of those who said 'na were shit' and 'fuck paying £33'

I’m going for a sneaky 3-2 win and this will then kick start our season .onwards and upwards #please28/1
It looks way down on PNE sales. Can’t see there being more than 16K Cov there plus what they bring.

Agree - I suppose if the club were fairly confident of a 4k (plus) away following (Sunderland, Blues, West Brom etc ) then from a bean counters point of view, you don't mind losing a certain amount of 'floating' home fans. It's a fine balancing act, and maybe as a non-season ticket holder , where the match package helps (are they still doing them?)

I think it will be at least 18000 Cov had that for PNE a night game, always gets a better walk up for Saturday matches, assuming 4000 Baggies I’d be disappointed with below 24000.

This would be a poor and terrible mentality for any club to have, it would be disappointing to think they would sacrifice home support for a couple of extra quid from away ticket sales.
