Sheff Utd wow

They've sold out their allocation of 5000

 

Cheap (compared to championship games) tickets, local game, very good chance of them winning, expected them to shift plenty. Albeit not that many - considering they've brought fewer than half of that for some league games in recent times.

 

Good, will make for a decent atmosphere.

 

I predicted a few days ago between 11k to 12k. Probably be even more now that they’ve sold 5k. I reckon there could be a minimum of 8k home fans.

 

Can't see there being 5000 home fans!

 

Glad to see the armchair era hasn't affected them yet.

 

I certainly can because of reasons including:
It’s a local Derby
Kids off school
It’ll not be a cold winters night

Looked on eticketing we've sold nothing like 5k. It's going to feel like an away game.

 

Didn’t realise they’d stopped selling tickets

 

Probably about 10000 max with 5000 of them

 

Probably be more away fans than home fans.

 

From the away end, yes. With less than 4k of us dotted over two stands I’d say not. Could be an embarrassing night on and off the pitch.

 

If you look at the ticket map you’ll see there won’t be anywhere near 8k home fans. Can’t see many paying £19 on the night.

 

Good job I’m simply making a prediction and not claiming to be stating fact then. Still don’t think crowd will be as low as some think. TBH, I’ll be there and won’t be the slightest bit embarrassed/concerned whatever the attendance is. I’ll be focused on the game and looking for a marked improvement without any expectation of the result. I’ll leave crowd watch to others, especially Dee dars, it’s their thing isn’t it?

 

Not many clubs have a home derby against a local rival from a higher division and fail to shift 5k tickets. That’s embarrassing in itself and shows the apathy that surrounds the club right now.

 

Theres not exactly a degree of excitement around the club or place at the minute.

Its a pretty negative view all over social media and speaking to people.

Club have done it yo themselves. I really hope we add this week and dont add a couple and let some first 11 players leave.

They need to inject some hope and enthusiasm into the place.

 

That's what I tend to do now. I tend to look at the potential 'entertainment' factor for games these days then look at the cost for said games. If I think its a good deal I'll probably go. I've had a bit of the stuffing knocked out of me in recent years by gradual decline and Ill not be losing any sleep if I miss this... Sad as I used to go to everything but that's my thought process these days.

 

Well it is their Cup final we'd have done the same if it had been our final.

 

Like vultures hovering over the body!
