I was going to superimpose Lee Burge's face on little Damien there, but then remembered he's not very confident with crosses.

I'm not really sure where the expectations of massive crowds come from. Our historical high average home gate is 21k at the Ricoh, often made up of 2k or more away fans.

20k home fans would be excellent really. If it sold out like that Chelsea game, you'd be looking at record gate receipts for a CCFC game I bet.

I guess people think of occasions like Crewe and Gillingham and perhaps expected a similar response. I didn't personally. Everyone who wanted a Wembley ticket last year got one. It's on TV, it's full price and it's one week on from our biggest gate of the season, which may have put a few of the casuals off as it was pretty desperate. I think the home turnout will be about the same as last week.

On gate receipts, the way they work it for playoffs is a joke. We get 12.5% of the cumulative gate receipts for the 4 games, so will only receive revenues from about 7000 people.

Yup that's after all our match day costs of stewarding/police etc. still that well over 100k made from play offs in gate receipts.
Shame we will only get a fraction of Parking/food sales.

There will be money from Radio/Sky TV broadcasting?

Football is expensive , me and dad worked out we had spent 2000 this season between us (based on averages ) could well be more .
That’s before food and drink

Think of the memories you and your dad are making and sharing. Priceless.

Tell me about it. Nearly £400 on season ticket and shirt before anything else then away tickets on top, 200 miles petrol for every home game. Food and drink. I'd be much better off if it wasn't for this bloody club. I do love it though.

Where does the rest go ?

Looks like we've barely sold any today?

They really should get those blocks behind the goal on sale.

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

They really should get those blocks behind the goal on sale.

Even just 27 and 28 would probably make a difference.

Think we are relying on a big walk up now for this to get anywhere near 20k.

That's unbelievable really, should be selling this out.

 

[mark82]

I agree with this, I wouldn't choose to buy right in the corner, I'd definitely wait for something better.

 

[Speng]

How many we sold for the home game ,
Got my home and away tickets for Notts

 

[matesx]

I didn’t think we’d sell out but predicted 25k

Seems a long way off now, hopefully get 20k

Telly, affordability and late ko taken its toll I guess.

 

[Speng]

If they sell 4000 surly we can sell 16000-18000 ... 22000 would be nice ..

 

[King of the Lesbians]

I live up near Nottingham and the sports lady was just talking about County playing in front of 25k at the Ricoh...

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Looks like about 12.5/13k Max sold so far. Plus what Notts have sold 3k? So around 15k plus sold total

Day before Morecambe I’m sure ther was only around 12 /13k max total sold both teams. Walk up on that Saturday was around 3k. Will assume the walk up on Saturday considering it’s a whole day, you’d imagine 3 minimum. So we looking at 20/21k rather than 25k. Which is still pretty decent. And will still be one hell of a atmosphere!

Yes should of made it 5pm or a Friday night game.

Tbh I think the limited availability is also playing a part, only a few blocks to choose from. At least open up half the North Stand ffs - I get the resource issue but come on.

Also, the 15,000 does not stack up, clearly looks more than that when you work the capacities of each stand out.

That’d suit me better as it goes, could get train home.

 

[jordan210]

They really need to get a few more blocks open. As it might encourage a more sales if there is a choice of seats.

 

[gspotgaz]

Opening the north stand block by block is s bizarre idea for a game like this, why would someone want a ticket shoved in the corner when they could wait a couple of days or walk up on day and go behind goal

 

[Frank Sidebottom]

Late kick off anyone?

Costs too much apparently, block by block charged by Wasps

Yeah i think it would usually, but...
The front 3 rows x 13 blocks is a block lost there.

Probably due to resource manpower reasons. Hiring stewerds on a needs basis.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Sold less than 1000 tickets today. Wow!

 

[Cigarfingers]

Tbf I bought tickets and they are not where I wanted, I was going to wait for behind the goal as I miss sitting there, did for years at both Highfield road and the Ricoh but then thought if they don’t open them I miss out if they do, they probably won’t be full so will be able to just relocate there on the night!

 

[coop]

Watching the Charlton game not that busy and they have people in the first three rows.

 

[Mcbean]

Well you do look old in that pic.

as i have said before i am a splitter for George Clooney and the wife Joan Collins - without my glasses i am sure my avatar is a true likeness

Surely they need to weigh up pros and cons of doing it.

If it generates more income than out goings. Go for it.

 

[Brylowes]

The club shoot themselves in the foot, they know the interest will be there for this game
Just open the blocks and sell the tickets. They insist on selling every ticket before opening
More blocks ‘but how many people want single seats on their own, most will be going in
Twos or above ‘and a lot will want to get behind the goal, something you can’t do at this
Club very often.
Just open the North stand and sell the bloody tickets.

 

[Monners]

I assume there are cash turnstiles in the day

 

[Littlewood CCFC]

Ive had a good look on the website block by block on the interactive map to see what we have sold -blocks 14,15,16, and 17 are all sold out with 18,19,20,21,22 and 23 all having a few seats left in each block. The corner blocks are the only ones with a couple of rows left to be sold with the 1st block behind the goal only having a few rows sold. With this in mind id say we have sold around 16-17k home tickets with approx 3000 notts sold. So around 20k overall so far.

I agree if the whole north stand was opened we would of sold a few thousand more by now. Maybe there will be a large walkup with fans wanting to go behind the goal. Just hope the club can handle it and can get all the fans through the gates before half 7!
