That's assuming all season ticket holders turn up, which is unlikely, some of them will be at work as well.

they've had a poor year, wouldn't surprise me to see them all go. Their saving grace may be the new reserve team. I bet they're all nervous

The two vacant blocks in the east stand hold 900 plus a chunk of the next block along, that must be at least a 1000. I'd reduce your projections by at least 500.
As for Friday being a working day for some, so is Saturday, so I don't see your point

those blocks are not vacant, they have been sold through the trust to schoolkids in a special promotion. They don't show on the seating plan as they aren't available for general sale. Don't know what the take up has been but reading people's comments on here I suspect it has been quite good. Perhaps your projection needs increasing

well that's what I was told. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.
What do you reckon the average spend on the concourse is? £3? £5?
if its a fiver, then against the gate revs from saltergate of 3500 fans at say and average of £12?
I bet it wont be far off.

Thought that's what I'd heard too!

My rough calcs were based on a total of 3000 seats in the east stand, divided by 7 blocks = 400+ average per block.
"As for Friday" I rightly (or wrongly) assumed more people tended to work on a Friday, than a Saturday, hence why a Friday gate would be compromised in comparison to a Saturday, but what do I know?

Attendance's should've taken off by now, will we get 7000 on Friday?
Wasnt the Macc match the one where a ticket stub gave a better chance of getting a ticket for one of the final home matches?

Hird - can cover numerous positions comfortably, would make a useful squad player...1 year deal
Togwell - great attitude and decent defensive midfielder, obviously not in Cook's plans...No contract
O'Shea - creativity + goals in the final 3rd...Absolutely must give him another year
Richards - Hasn't worked out for him here. Whilst I admire a lot of what he does, he's far too inconsistent for me (suppose this isn't helped by not having a run in the side) ...No contract
Devitt - Can't really comment due to his very few appearances for us but from what I have seen, nothing to get too excited about really, yet I would have liked to have seen him get more of a chance. No contract
Brown - solid performances when called upon, also not really given a good run in the side. Cook obviously isn't a fan...No contract
Couldn`t agree more with all of that.
Humphreys - experienced pro with valuable knowledge of the lower divisions. Can still put a shift in but certainly wouldn't be in a L1 starting XI. Possibly a 1 year deal in a player-coach role would be appropriate?

They run those every game and there is normally about 50/100 in those 2.5 end blocks, so…….
Maybes aye, maybes naw
Nice if they have managed to "give away" all those tickets and people actually turn up. Bit sad we can't actually sell them like we did in 2011

I must be misunderstanding... based on your figures..
Turnstiles = 3500 x £12
Concourse = 3500 x £5 (I'd bet it was closer to £3)
I wouldn't class that as almost the same, would you?

Not sure about that, but if we did perhaps we should have repeated it this season

Yes, a voucher was given out guaranteeing for a ticket for the final home game v Gillingham, we've missed a trick by not doing similiar with Friday's game

You can buy a ticket for the Fleetwood game now if you want, so there isn't any need this season, the demand isn't there
Just looked at my response above where I was being a bit flippant

Do that many people work Friday and have Tuesday off instead? I never have and I don't think I know anyone currently that is having Tuesday off instead of Friday.

considering our gates have been 6500 (ish) at the proact, and 3500 (ish) at saltergate.......I think you have misunderstood an awfull lot.
