They are showing just how tinpot they are, needing to pull out these kinds of incentives to get bums on seats with a top of the table clash!

What next!?? GROUPON?!?!?

I am quite happy to take advantage of the retro prices, might even wear an old shirt myself

Good on them. 25k to fill on a Thursday with the game on telly. Only 19k went on Saturday.

Good for them trying to fill the ground for a big match. The John Smiths is rarely full even for derby games so with what will be a modestly sized away crowd why not generate some extra interest. I'm not going to knock a team for that....(except for Palace of course).

Great idea this promotion, and a bit more imaginative than our £10 for a mate tickets for Burton.

And brilliant for all those albion fans buying tickets but not going just so they can get the loyalty points

Pretty sure we're doing 2 mates for a tenner each promotional offer v Burton so why not try and fill the ground anyway you can

Ermmm, because the ground will probably almost be filled without the need to do that perhaps?

Get TWO shirts and stitch them together. Bingo! Then you'll be the first person to have an 'alf n' 'alf shirt. You never know, it could just catch on.

Didn't they do really cheap season tickets this season?

Yeah £199 wasn't it?
FairPlay to them as they've attracted an extra 7/8k fans

It's only £10 to buy a ticket for the away end too.

No excuse for failing to fill it now.

What exactly does "tin-pot" even mean when used to describe a football club?

It's not as bad as a villa fan early in the season who dismissed Huddersfield as 'fizzy pop'. Better fizzy than flat, eh!

Every club has a finite number of fans. Not sure that deserves mockery. Would we laugh at Burton Albion for the same, say?

I agree that it's a tad surprising that they're offering discounted tickets for a game against fellow promotion contenders as opposed to a game against a side with nothing to play for, but equally, perhaps it's more about making sure the ground is full and they create (their idea of) an intimidating atmosphere for the occasion.

I presume this applies to away fans, and thus I'm perfectly happy to take them up on their kind offer.

It means I have no idea about the history of a club that was the first to win the top division 3 times in a row, an fa cup winner and played in many more finals.

Heaven forbid we ever offer deals like bring a mate for a tenner...that must be really" tin pot".
