I get the argument you get less bang for your buck as costs increase a lot form few extras east (actually I don’t but a fair few on here were of that opinion!), but 61,878 was the magic no for meWould have pissed 50k season tickets. Such a shame we didn't get to 60-65k seats as stunning as the place is.
Agreed. I also think there’s a lot of over inflation of the waiting list numbers…. Duplicates, kids and people who actually would purchase - I’d be surprised if it was anywhere near the apparent 30k TBHI'm glad it's around 53k. We'll see in a couple of seasons on a cold Tuesday league cup night against a lower league club if it should have been more. I think tickets will be pretty easy to get hold of next season anyway apart from the derby and 1st game.
I hope he gets banned from Bramley the little woolYeah I caught one of his videos yesterday, I thought to myself he's massively giving a lot of people false hope here. He even went as far as to say he thought it would "definitely drop down to people with 4 OMs, and probably even 3". He was chatting complete wham in that context all honesty.
You don't have to design your stadium for a midweek league cup game that may happen twice a season. But anywayI'm glad it's around 53k.

You also don't design it for the numbers who may just want to turn up for the first season while it's shiny and new and novel though. I do think people massively underestimate how big a thing it would be for us to find a 50%+ increase in attendances. It's obviously impossible to know but I think the advertising and messaging out of the club in the week or so before the ST deadline suggested the take up from those on the waiting list hadn't been as big as they'd expected it to be.You don't have to design your stadium for a midweek league cup game that may happen twice a season.

I agree and am in the same boat.I’ll be honest, I’m proper annoyed.
4000 tickets apparently sold. Last time they published the banding I was well inside that… but people could just jump to the top of the list even if joining the list for the first time, if they happened to have an extra year of membership.
Very much doubt I’m alone in this circumstance, but doesn’t half leave a bad taste.

It will be interesting how many commercial sponsors like Ticketmaster and alike will be handed to officially tout our own fanbase
