Just in case any of you missed this.....all the hand wringing, all the panic, all the venom directed at the club......and all the time, all you had to do was calm down, think it through, relax and wait for the inevitable decision. Tickets purchased in ESU this morning. Job done.
Any advice re...
Not at all.
They are simply waiting to maximise Lower Tier sales. Once its down to singles and oddments, which won't be long, I would expect an announcement to open ESU ( it won't be WSU...they know they will sell nowhere near another 5000 ) I am confident that they will announce tomorrow or...
I don't believe that CH will see it as an unwelcome distraction. We have an empty week before and after the game and if we get knocked out, we will have no fixture between March 10th and March 31st ( unless Man C lose to Wigan as well ) He will not want this level of inactivity. He will want...
No business survives without profit, small medium or large and football clubs are no different, despite having their own inflation/recession proof micro economy.
The counter argument is found amongst those who normally sit Lower Tier and would like a different perspective. I sit WSL and my block sold out before I had a chance to purchase my normal seat. I would like to try an Upper Tier. I don't particularly want Lower and/or in a corner. Its my...
Its clear that a number who post on here are still holding out for the chance of an Upper Tier. Personally, I shall wait until after the weekend and review then. Its pure conjecture but I reckon that the club could potentially sell another 2000+ seats.
No source, just pure guesswork. Could be as few as 500-1000 holding out. Whatever the number, there are some holding on for an Upper Tier option ( my group, to name just 4 ). Its a gamble. We will have to wait and see.
Could be another 2-3,000 out there, all waiting for the possibility of an Upper Tier. ( 4 in my group ) Cannot see any decision from the club until Monday at the earliest. Between now and then, a fair few of those 700 will go. Some fans will just not be prepared to take the risk and will commit...
I firmly believe CH will give the FAC his best possible shot. He will want players to be in action over the 6th round weekend ( 16th - 19th March ) If we don't get past Coventry, there will be no fixture between March 10th ( Everton A ) and March 31st ( Leics H ). He will not want this level of...
I think a number of people will wait for at least another 2-3 days just to gauge the offtake from general sales. There are clearly quite a few who would prefer upper tier and so they are holding off buying at present. 5000 more to shift in the lower tiers won't happen for a few days yet. I guess...
Ground capacity = 30,500
Less 1901 = 28,000
Less WSU = 23,000
Less ESU = 21,000
Less Cov = 16,500
Just under 5000 left, so approx 11,000 sold to Albion fans thus far.
