Think sell out every week is the key part of the sentence. Not really worth implementing for a club that has 10k empty seats most weeks.
2006?

If we get promoted we could get Praia da Luz away in the Europa League?
To the inappropriate jokes thread!

I thought I spotted a single available seat in Block 32, but it turned out to be a speck of gravy on my monitor.

Not seen the map on the ccfc article before
suggests 10-13 are unavailable - that is silly

Those are corporate seats so wouldn't be released to general sale anyway

Maybe someone could make a graphic of the queue made out of dots so we can count them?

We have been around the playoffs for a while, so it’s not as though it’s come from nowhere.

That takes you back to beating Huddersfield 4-0 on 4th March. If you take it from after that result we were 8th, 3 points of 6th. Even if you give them the benefit of the doubt and go before that result we were 10th, 5 points off 6th.
They definitely could have seen this coming.

Be nice to know which blocks the blues fans are in

The picture of the 4500 West Brom fans earlier in this thread shows them in blocks 6-10. I would imagine Brum will be the same

I gave up my ST's in 15 and moved them over to the family stand but I can't miss this game now. So I've bought a couple singles in the north stand and will sit in my usual seats.
If you moved your st thought the ticket office, they have likely resold your seat.

It just makes sense anyway, the bigger that section by the away fans the better the atmosphere and the more people want to go, charge a premium for halfway line tickets, then mostly keep behind the goal closed (or at least the back half of it) unless attendances require it. I’m convinced you’d end up with bigger crowds just by doing that. I wouldn’t be surprised to see us sell even more season tickets next year and have crowds around 20k as a baseline.
10 is away fans, which means 11 and 12 can’t be used for home fans. Any decision on 10 should be taken as late as possible considering it knocks 3k home fans off the board.

Will we get more money for away seats than home seats? Are we charging £30 odd quid like Sunderland? I guess charging Brum full money for 2000 extra seats is better than us low selling the 2000 - some to kids and JSB etc.

Dave Boddy didn't anticipate damage to the pitch from the rugby

Whatever the outcome we need to get our act together for the play off first leg.
Huge potential income (are ST’s valid)?

Its the disorganised nature of it that I find most disappointing.
The fact that they're only now looking to see if they can open up more blocks is a joke. Why wasn't this looked into last week?

Another problem with selling blocks 10-13 now is that you will have a lot of families and once-a-season fans between a rowdy Birmingham contingent and a rowdy Coventry contingent in the corner.

Surely that helps?
If the reason for not selling them is concerns about trouble, then a load of families next to the away fans aren't going to cause a problem

We’ve got the same segregation as they have for Red Star Belgrade v Partizan if you don’t believe me watch the videos on YouTube we have the same issues

At United there's a large disabled area next to the away fans and they are constantly abused and hit with coins - I wouldn't want to put any one off coming again. Especially kids.

But if we score….the 17 year old clone island brigade will charge towards the netting like they always do potentially hurting young family people.

Just wondered if they had been sold/used
Not bothered whether they are normal seats or corporate.

Pity this, I thought the days of being rank amateurs off the pitch were over, clearly not. A chance to make serious extra cash and also boost the team on the pitch and we aren’t taking it.

Nipped into the club shop earlier to get a few bits for the kids - was in there 10 minutes max and probably at least 10 different people came in to ask for tickets.
And that’s even with the car parking stewards telling you tickets are sold out as you drive into the arena.
Side note - thanks to this thread I was able to get a ticket for my mate. After reading this last night, it forced me into action and I purchased one then rather than waiting for this AM!
Side side note; it’s the Man U fan I’ve referenced before and has been to numerous Cov games the last few years including L2 days = he’s definitely a Cov fan at this point.

It's never a bad thing when someone drops a random HMHB quote into any thread.
Talking of which - Four of us are heading up to Hull this Friday for the rearranged gig cancelled at short notice from last December.
I've never been a fan of needlessly revving a car engine but that's what's gonna happen 9.30 Saturday morning if the others are still fannying around with their breakfast.
