Bolton at Home.

I bought 2 last night for NW Corner - no surprise, pretty much the only area with 2 together.

 

Doesnt look to be a lot left...Family, Kop and Midland pretty much sold out, maybe 150-200 tickets collectively left. North West Corner looks to have around 500 tickets.

 

In an id3al world both teams keep up there form and Cardiff have one hell of a wobble either way its gonna be down to who finishes higher so very much all to play for

 

There's still the back 3 rows of NW Corner and Kop to go on sale plus there's usually extra parts of the Main Stand upper that are released later if needed and Block B. There will probably be at least 1,000 seats still not on sale.

 

Can the match still be moved for TV scheduling?

 

Let's be honest if the Bradford public can't make this a sell out I dont know what the team/club need to do, were in the business end of the season as yet lts still a 3pm kick off it could be the game we cement our 3rd place in the play offs.
Not forgetting its our last home game of the season and how we show our respect for those injured and lost their lives that afternoon.

 

No I don’t think they can move it now, I think Sky have not chosen this game for tv because they felt it would be a dead rubber with both teams already mathematically in the playoffs once the game comes around.

 

I know they will give it out as a sellout but wasnt the Town game the same with plenty of empty seats ?????

 

24.075 announced. That aint a full house.

 

Lets hope they were right in give us a miss for the reasons you suggest .

 

It's as full as we can get, Fleetwood was about the same.

This was from a recent supporters trust meeting which confirmed the working capacity is about 24,100

To be honest bronco, I do probably think we have reached our peak in terms of fanbase.

There isn't more the club or team can do to attract fans, as im not sure there are that many more fans to attract.

Don't forget there were premier league games that didn't sell out and that was with a reduced capacity.

Even now you see massive drop offs for night games and fluctuations between games like Bolton for instance and last week against Northampton.

Our probable pull is a range between 18,000 - 21,000 and more likely to go down rather than up any time soon , with either a drop in form or further price increases

 

We used to be 25,136. So where did those 1000 seats dissappear too?

We had 24,321 vs Reading a decade ago in the FA Cup.

 

I said in another thread, our last 2 trips to Wembley we only took 24,000 on both occasions.

League Cup final was 38,000 but a very different occasion.

 

You may be right but show me a club in L1/2 that doesn’t suffer midweek drop off in attendances? Not one buck the trend. Look at clubs like Hudders/ Donny/ Rotherham et al on midweek highlight games , whose bums on seat numbers are appalling. Donny/ Hudders a terrific fall from grace, we arnt that bad.

 

Just as everyone tried to tell you.

In the bigger games the home sections sell really well so increasing the away capacity only serves to starve potential home fans of tickets and does absolutely nothing for the club in terms of finance. All it does is stifle any potential growth in the home fansbase.

 

Sorry @Bronco but we can also show our respects by not referring to those that died as just a number. I know a lot do but it's a bit more respectful to say "and how we show our respect to those that died and suffered" or something similar. We all know the number. I'm not suggesting anyone has but let's not forget that they were people and stop the fixation on "the 56" (which the club even did with that 56 branded top they put out a few seasons ago).

 

Don’t get me started!!!
