Mike Graham Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 10 hours ago, RevidgeBlue said: Great initiative, hope its a massive success to show up the error of Waggott's ways. My only worry would be whether the ancillary services such as catering and the offerings from the Club Shop will be of the standard required to satisfy a bumper crowd and whether the Club can avoid brassing a huge number of potential new supporters off. I think the most important thing on the day is whether the team turn up and put in a display that they capable of. We will be talking to the Club about logistics but the bottom line is that they are legally responsible and liable for the health, safety, and operations on the day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately the club can see ticket sales in real time and no doubt JDT will be saying the right words to the players who should be responding to the crowd on the day. If home sales are pushing towards 20,000, either the Blackburn End Upper Tier or half the Darwen End should be opened rather than refusing to sell tickets. Watford have one of the lowest away followings so even if the ticket price encourages a few more, they are unlikely to top 1,500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 They would open the upper Blackburn End before the other half of the Darwen End… though let’s fill those other 20k seats before we get giddy about long mothballed areas! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Rigger responded they are already on sale, and apparently from the figures I have seen they are thankfully selling extremely well.

Morning Mike, hope you are well my friend. Its traditionally a poorly attended date in the calendar if memory serves me correctly, I'm trying to persuade 4 more of our lot to come, but the excuse is last minute Christmas shopping for the Mrs, yes they're blokes......... But that said, this has all the makings of 20k+ gate, cheap tickets and the side playing really really well, I have no doubt this will top 20k, especially if we keep winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyblue Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) It can be poorly attended, however if you price it right it can attract a big gate - Wigan game December 23rd 2019 was our biggest home turn out of the season (for a Sky night match too) as tickets were also reduced to a tenner for that, from memory.

Miller11 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Watford are getting in to the spirit of things too, and the club are offering their fans subsidised coach travel at a tenner! Hopefully plenty of them take them up on this, could be on for a real bumper crowd! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah correct, £10 I believe then too. Jack Walker and lower BBE were sold out (think it was just under 19k but there were barely any Wigan fans there). It was also unfortunately the night Bradley Dacks premier league dreams ended. 0-0 draw though for all those floating fans! I’d expect us to beat 20k here though, in better form, playing better football, community behind it, Saturday 3pm and I’d expect Watford to bring more than / as many as Wigan (even though Watford don’t particular take many themselves). If we were playing Leeds / Sunderland we’d be getting 25k+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyblue Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Give them chance, SG! 😀 It’s three weeks off, it won’t even be on the radar yet for most floating fans, the days leading up to the game sees the vast majority of tickets sold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
