Crowd v Peterborough (2 Viewers)

[Sky Blue Harry H]

There will be a few added to the attendances in general now that the University students are back - more attractive fixtures for the neutrals, plus a few more likely to follow Championship teams than L1, which is when they would last have had the opportunity for matches. Not sure of the numbers, but wouldn't be surprised if it was 3 figures for a lot of the games.

Warwick’s term doesn’t start for another couple of weeks but you’ll definitely get a few Cov students up there.

Quite surprised the club doesn’t offer discounted tickets for students considering the number that reside in the city.

So they do!!

I’m off to buy an NUS card then!

If you have an iPad Pete I can send you an easy to follow step by step guide via DM. Better than getting a dodgy steam as the club still gets your money, even if it is via a different currency.

I am also in Cornwall this weekend and have loaned out my season ticket. If you could be so kind to share with me too that would be great! Failing that, I will have to find out where @Sky Blue Pete is staying and get cost round his iPad

Club should do a 'Bring a mate for a tenner' offer to season ticket holders/members on a one-off category C match soon. Each ticket sold would come with fiver off next 3 games offer

Good karting track there.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Just bought mine (+1 non Cov mate) but then again we've been to most home games this year so no improvement in numbers there.

Considering Peterborough will bring around 1k, it'll be 17k, give or take 500.

They used to do that but over the season where you could pick the game. Think if you did it for one game there wouldn’t much of an increase

 

[ccfcmad1]

Posh should bring 1500 or so we seem to have around 15k city at the moment be nice to see that increase Friday, think we're looking 18k max in total

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Usually £5+ less than a taxi in my experience, but around the stadium it’s a faff getting them somewhere vaguely accessible

In Cornwall for this one. Given season tickets to friends. How can I watch it?

Get your season ticket back.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Could be just my friendship group, but a few neutrals are going to the game so I’m personally optimistic that we’ll hit around 19-20k.

 

[Sick Boy]

Others will know better than me but to my knowledge you can get every game on Ifollow outside UK

Apart from those on Sky in the UK.

Guys, get a VPN, it sounds scary but all it is is downloading a program, installing it, then opening it and clicking on a country. If you can use SBT you can use a VPN.

Hardest part is probably buying the thing in the first place. I use NordVPN and it’s ridiculously simple.

 

[mark82]

I follow should be ok shouldn’t it?

Only if Cornwall has defected to France.

I hadn’t got a clue about VPN but a few weeks ago I downloaded Nord via the App Store. I’m a real technophobe - can’t even use pay at pump but even I managed it and it works a treat.

It’s a sovereign nation I’m sure

Me too. Serious question, do I download a VPN on my tv ?

I was talking to someone after the Middlesborough game who asked me if I'd been to the match. I told him I had. He told me that he had seen it too at St Finbarrs Club on their big screen.
If clubs and pubs around Coventry and Warwickshire are using Ifollow (can't believe Finbarrs is an isolated example) then I think it is going to be an uphill battle getting people back to the stadium.

Ironic really that a place that charges fans going to the game to park at their club (£5?) will presumably allow those going into their club to watch the game park free.

Twenty, twenty five, thirty quid to get into the stadium, the hassle of getting there, parking, sitting out in the cold or;
turn up somewhere a few minutes before kick off, in the warm and dry and spend what would have been your admission money on a few pints with change in your pocket to boot.

I think football will have a growing problem with illegally streamed games.

They'd like to think so.

I'm not sure, realistically, what can be done to stop it. £60 a year gets you access to pretty much any live sport you want to watch from around the world.

Clubs have to stay on their toes, making sure the whole experience of physically going to a match in a stadium is appealing.

 

[matesx]

Simplistic i know but you just cant beat actually being there.

The buzz of pre match anticipation, feeling of tribal belonging, full pitch view, going mental when we score, going mental when we concede.

Cannae beat it.

These are not Supporters of the club.
These do the opposite of actually supporting your club.
It's not just financial. It's being the 12th man at the game.

Just plastic armchair fans.

That applies if you are used to going and are of an older generation I think. I'll admit I have IPTV, and it's very convinient, if I'm strapped for time or cash. But I would much rather go and watch live.

Difficulty football faces in the next decade or so, if that the current younger generation like things made as simple as possible for them or they wont bother. Everything is given to them on a plate. They dont want to exert themselves to get or do something because they'll be an alternative which is far easier.

How are you watching iFollow on your TV? I use my laptop so have the VPN on that. Have you got a fire stick or something?

I only watch away games on oFollow because I’ve never been an away supporter and can’t make time for it. Or home games if I’m on holiday and can’t make it. Everyone should attend if they at all can IMO.

Same here, bit of intrigue to see how we look after such a good start

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

How are sales looking?

Wow okay. I’m a ST holder but wouldn’t call anyone not a supporter of club, the fact they’re watching the game in the first place means they have some affiliation.

Agreed, can't imagine sitting in the Finbarrs while probably less than a mile away the match is actually taking place. Especially with the completely reinvigorated experience and atmosphere up there thesedays.
