Don't know if it's lack of ambition, lack of demand, or both. But to cap home ticket sales to around 14k for a play off semi final doesn't paint a great picture. There will be at least 2 League 1 teams that sell more than that in season tickets next season.
For me the west stand should have been sorted a long time ago we have never mixed home and away fans for such a big game like this sort the west stand job done.
Could easily sort it with temporary facilities now. Even if you charge a few quid less per ticket to allow for lower quality facilities.
If we'd had another season like last it would have been more than adequate. In fact we wouldn't have needed the Ponty end like in cup games.
I disagree. Many (even on here) were waiting to see the outcome of the first leg before committing. Had we lost 4-0 on Saturday like a certain other South Yorkshire club did, we'd have been playing to a half empty stadium on Friday. I do think if we were going to open up half of the North Stand, we'd have done so yesterday though after a good sales drive over the weekend. Particularly as all tickets next to each other had been sold by midday yesterday.
I know. And I'd be interested to see how many Stockport shift for their play off tie as well. Ultimately, sales were too slow in week 1, for whatever reason. And people should remember these sales figures when thinking we can hold out for £x million for the likes of Mads in the summer.
I get what you're saying, but it would cost a lot more money to sort the west stand out than it would to just open the f'cking north stand. We might as well knock the away end down for the amount it gets used,
