Return of fans to stadiums to be controlled by Ballot

[Goat]

See for this reason I don't think everyone will opt for tickets, I'll probably go but I can see a lot not seeing it as worth going and the money saved being more important.

Not a chance I will take part in this farce.

Would defo rather have my money back and wait till its proper footy again.

It would be like some games in the early 80s.

I remember going to a game at Goodison in the Simod cup against Millwall, the attendance was something like 3,000.

Not sure if I’m going to opt-in to the ballot. It would be so sad to only see 2,000 people in the ground.

I think the lowest crowd I ever remember being in at Goodison was the Dynamo Bucharest game in 2005 when we were already 5-1 down on aggregate and it wasn’t great. Even then, there were probably about 12,000 people in the stadium.

22k there was at that Bucharest game mate.

Lowest I've seen is 10k in the league against Southampton the day Kendall resigned and I can't remember the cup game now but there was under 5k. I'm sure it was against Hull or Millwall. Mike Stowell was either in goal for us or the opposition so must have been around 1989/91

Haha I've just posted that mate after you it was about 4.5k. I couldn't remember if it was Millwall or Hull.

It was Millwall macca, we won 2-0, think Cottee got both.

Yep, it was a midweek game and it was absolutely baltic.

 

[maccavennie]

Just checked as well, the attendance was 3.7k

I think you're right mate.

The funny thing is low attendances like that were the norm mate, I remember in the league cup, think there was the Zenith data cup as well attendances were always really low.

Yep the Leeds semi final Zentih Cup there was only about 11k and the atmosphere was boss

The big bonus was getting away from the ground easy to catch the bus!

Yep, no queues for the bus, match programme, toilets, food, getting a scarf or a badge. Basically a nice quiet day out

That Southampton game when Kendall resigned there was only about 20 in the lower bullens. I think I moved seats about 15 times to get different views 1st half and 2nd half
