Hi, just done another check on ticket sales. Overnight and so far this morning another 237 tickets sold, bringing total to 953. This breaks down as South 79 North 70 Kop 88 At maximum cost this gives additional revenue of £9672 Can we please stop funding the idiot in charge, at an average maximum price of £41 our ticket sales generate £39000. Plus away support at approximately £80000, he’s gained another £120000. We can’t persuade away fans to stay away but our fans can and we really must! the revenue from games is purely down to ticket and merchandise sales as the money from purchased season tickets has already gone. The smaller the on the day sales are the greater the impact. What would be a real indicator of discontent would be if we could all boycott a match, I include myself here as I have a multi year season ticket and I’m now staying away which is a real pain because I missed the whole of last season following a heart attack. But removing the idiot is essential and small contributions add up to a greater whole.

As at 4 o’clock the tickets available are:- South. 2593 including 354 in family zone North. 2154 Kop. 5454 total available 10201 when they went on sale there were 10917 tickets available. potential attendees 716, plus any pay on the gate, given the timing, the weather and Sky coverage that could be minimal.

Even if every fan stayed away, the attendance would be about 17500. As we have already been told in numerous threads, season tickets are always counted in full even if a season ticket holder stays away. the point would be that the claim of such a crowd with few supporters there would represent the stupidity of stating attendance figures when it actually identifies number of seats sold. what is really needed is an actual head count via the turnstiles, not beyond a reasonable request as all entry is now electronically controlled. A bit of a tweak with the software and real bums on seats could be stated.

On Saturday I posted the number of available tickets for the next 4 home games including Grimsby. On Saturday the number of available tickets was 4056, if it’s 3583 today that means we have sold 473 nowhere near the 2500 claimed in an earlier post.

Being a bit stuck for something to do just thought I’d tally up the availability of tickets on the official website. as at 21:00 today Bristol 10650 QPR 10903 Coventry 10917 Grimsby 4056 This would seem to suggest that people are sticking to the boycott, great show. Let’s just hope they don’t cave in and buy.

Booking fees are charged by Piggies at £1 but it’s included in ticket price. Leeds charge £1 online and £1.75 in ticket office. maybe the club are being transparent by adding it on. Just think of the outrage over ticket prices if it was included? There would be 500 page meltdown.
