I think it will be the lowest attendance of the season, they can't count the season tickets sold but who aren't thereIt's a shame if we have one if the lowest attendances of the season when we are on BBC one the national neutral will think be badly supported
Why is that. 3rd Round of the Cup is still always special and what a tie this is for us.I genuinely can't see more than 18k, 3 home games on the bounce this one is by far the lowest priority
Most other fans have a perception of our support being much lower than it is in reality.It's a shame if we have one if the lowest attendances of the season when we are on BBC one the national neutral will think be badly supported
I think it will be a big crowd. People are looking forward to it. Great game for everyone especially kids to look forward to over XmasI think 20,000, probably boosted by the Villa support.
It being televised and that semi-final straight afterwards is going to sap a lot off.
Looking at the staidum map though not many season ticket holders have reserved their seat. We have as the 3 priority points makes it worthwhileI think it will be a big crowd. People are looking forward to it. Great game for everyone especially kids to look forward to over Xmas
I agree with your post in isolation.Why is that. 3rd Round of the Cup is still always special and what a tie this is for us.
Pricing for Chelsea game is going to be interesting. I would price it up as a Championship League game (mid week prices) i.e. £27 to £30 for adults etc - Taking into account the Villa game close to it.I agree with your post in isolation.
But there's no way having a home semi final 3 days later isn't going to affect attendance.
A family of 4 can attend the Villa game for £80, the semi final is likely to be closer to our normal league prices so £100+ for a family of 4. Its lot of money to shell out in early Januray for both matches and if you are making a choice, the semi final against Chelsea trumps a 3rd round tie which is likely to be two significantly weakened sides.
I have decided not to bother now after seeing the League Cup draw. Quick look on the stadium plan suggests less than half of ST tickets have bought their tickets to date. I think 20k is about the best we will get even with a big Villa following.
