Guest alex Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Not taking anything away from Brum, who were very good or defending the Toon, who were awful but how many midweek cup games have had poor crowds and non-existent atmospheres now? When will the board learn their lesson and review the ticket prices? It only helps the opposition in my view. And no, I wasn't there last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatley living 250 miles away I get up there rarely so my atmosphere has to come from the TV and Stereo. I must have had the volume on full last night but it didn`t sound too loud.

Gemmill 42648 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Me neither. And I'd paid for a ticket. They should try it just once for one of the UEFA games. £10 for adults, £5 for kids. If it doesn't work and they make less money, fair enough, but if they got 45,000 or whatever in it could make all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but then again the full house crowds havn`t been as loud as once they were. If only we could get that local derby match atmosphere every game it really would be the twelth man.

Not saying the atmosphere is always GREAT © when it's full. But a half full stadium guarentees a shite atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_NUFC 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 They could even do bairns go free if they're with an adult. One thing that you see at cup games is people bringing kids, and they buy them pop, crisps, burgers, programmes etc. They'd still make money out of it, and have better crowds.

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Fuck, weve turned into Sunderland Only for cup games though, no need for league games. And I'm not neccesarily on about pathetically touting free tickets around schools anywhere between Jedburgh and Doncaster like they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howaythetoon 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I didn't go either, 20 quid for adults and 10 for kids is far too steep, I'd have been about 70 quid out of pocket last night had I went, ferk that. The whole of football needs to review its ticketing prices though. We have two crowds these days, league crowds with ST holders and Cup crowds with families, first timers, more women and Toon Ultras mainly buying at the door.

Guest stevieintoon Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 26,000 with 400 away fans live on TV, is utter utter shite by our standards, but no TV coverage and there'd have been 40,000. We got 42,000 against Mansfield at the same stage last season......and it's still better than Spurs 28,000 not TV coverage and 4,000 Welsh cunts Man City 25,000 £15 a ticket and 7,000 Sheff Wed Celtic 18,000 on a fuckin weekend not on TV Everton 24,000 on a weekend against Premiership opposition not on TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6581 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 What I found bizarre was I was watching the Man Utd 5-0 game the other night on ESPN classics and the atmosphere was awesome. Last night's match was as though it was at another place altogether. Don't think I've ever heard it as quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 20421 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 It didn't look like 26,000 to me yesterday. There were huge gaps in all the stands. SJH was nearly empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
