10200 less 2100 away end less 900(?) in the East Wing stand leaves 7200 capacity? 73% sold is approx 5200 so far plus walk ups and WWFC, which would be make it a bigger home support than Rotherham which would be strange.

naturally you are assuming also that all season ticket holders will turn up, plus VP member and Legends Lounges. They don't get counted if they don't turn, however they all show their seats booked on the online ticket website.

North stand is full of school kids and parents I understand.
Think the away lot must be going in the east stand end bit? Any one confirm this?

As far as I'm aware there's a school promo for kids in the North Stand

[CFC91]

I thought the kids were going in far corner of West stand tbh. Usually that area is only bout 20% full but now is showing 66% which suggests an abnormally large amount of people in that area for a change!

Unfortunately I am one season ticket holder who can't attend tomorrow so you can knock me off of the attendance stats.

i drive myself mad trying to fathom the % online sales to actual attendance! ... the % on the fri neet before the millers game was showing late 80's ..88/89% and look what that actually resulted in. I also think like someone else has already mentioned that the school offer folk are in the far side of the west as its never anywhere near the % its currently showing

I have been having this discussion on another thread, so it will be interesting to see which is closer to the actual attendance your estimate that the figure is based 73% of 7200 or mine which is of 6000. If it’s 6000 it will be around 4380 plus away fans and corporate seats, if it‘s 7200 it will be 5256 plus away fans only.

Which is right I wonder?

When tickets first go on sale for a game the site shows 61% so assuming we have 3500 season ticket holders I'd.know whose estimate I'd back

[fadedblue]

Not always about numbers more important is the revenue. Sooner 5000 at an average of £14 than 10000 at an average of £6.


Unless of course we can guarantee a certain number of the cheap-skates will come again and pay full price.

So would I, would be surprised to see over 4800.

I'd sooner have the 10000, it would save me £200 a year.

Intense brand loyalty=inelastic demand, making it more profitable for all clubs to go for higher prices rather than filling more seats at lower prices.

At average £6 I'd be in the stadium tomorrow among that 10,000 but at average £14 I probably won't be and have to pick and choose. But, as you say, if that's the model that brings the most revenue (and profit, since the costs are the same), it makes sense.

Rotherham was August BAnk Holiday weekend, so quite a number away!

[lindave]

I reckon we'll get 4715

[Sabreman]

I think we will hit the 5k+ mark tomorrow, I also think were nailed on for a home win we always seem to do well against Wycombe at home atleast. Three points in the bag a brace from Richards with Lester giving a masterclass performance in a 3-0 win
