ewerk 31195 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Grey seats tend not to stand out at a distance. In the closer shots it's much more obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEADMAN 0 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 How come stadium looks full so much for protests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22143 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Grey seats tend not to stand out at a distance. In the closer shots it's much more obvious. They just showed another shot of it where it looks pretry full. I'm not disputing there are pockets of empty seats around the ground. Leazes end in particular looks patchy but maybe the old cunts in the east stand missed the memo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Were you there around the ground at all, HF? What was it like, if so.I got delayed at the pub  Looked canny on Twitter though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDimpleboy 0 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 From Sky it looked like around 10k missing I reckon, attendance of 42k sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makom 0 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 What happened to my 'why did they go' thread? Isn't anyone here interested in why anyone would actually go into the stadium today, if they weren't going to either support the team or make any audible protest against Ashley? Because it's confusing the hell out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makom 0 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Â Aye, there's enough people unaware there even was a protest, so I suppose it could raise awareness for the next attempt (whatever form that takes). Â Not possible. It was mentioned this past week multiple times in the Crhron, the BBC local news, the BBC football website, a bunch of national newspapers, Talksport (and surprisingly not even in a trollish way) and I believe even on MOTD/Focus, but I can't be certain on that. Â It got loads of coverage both on its own, and alongside the Blackpool mess, and of course because of the financials being posted too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) @AshleyOutdotcom's Tweet:  Not sure how to embed but there definitely wasn't 47k there as shown  Edit: it done it automatically Edited April 19, 2015 by StoneColdStephenIreland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 7084 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 47k will be from ticket sales, as is the norm in grounds. Looked under 40k to me. HF will probably count the seats sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Aye, no doubt they counted all the season ticket holders that didnt go etc. Complete cunts man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1260 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Got to say that I didn't expect more than 5K to boycott but the photos certainly suggest there was a lot more than that not there. My Dad went so I'll ask him later how many he think it actually was. The TV pictures certainly seemed to show less empty seats than some of the photos that have been on twitter. Of course you don't know when those photos were taken. If some of them were near the end it's reasonable to think some of seats were abandoned by then. Definitely think it's a positive start.

Renton 21983 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) What happened to my 'why did they go' thread? Isn't anyone here interested in why anyone would actually go into the stadium today, if they weren't going to either support the team or make any audible protest against Ashley? Because it's confusing the hell out of me.I went yesterday. Reason being that the match is just about the only chance I ever get to have a social life not involving the kids. Child care was pre-arranged and no way am I wasting it. I've also cancelled next years ST even though I have great seats in the East stand. So I've only got 3 matches left. Â Finding it pretty distasteful people on here, the majority of which don't have an ST they have already paid for, are happy to judge match goers and call them arseholes who deserves what they get. This sanctimonious atitude from those who are giving up fuck all will not further the cause, which is lost in any case. If there's another boycott I'll go anyway now rather than join the judgemental dicks on here telling me what I can and can't do with my free time.

JaMoUsE 0 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Haha what a tart. I cancelled my season ticket this week and lost 180 loyalty points in the process. Will you still renew when carver is confirmed as head coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
