To be fair, it really helped that we were playing Wycombe as they only sold 470 tickets anyway. Had we been playing a team that could bring say 1,500 fans, then they would probably not have been able to do it.

As for your game, then it has to be an advantage to have the stadium full, so making a 10 quid deal or something would make perfect sense!!

Agree & disagree 38.

Violence & Blockhead attachment NO.
It's pants. Doesn't 'mean' anything, & I can't for the life in me see the point of it.
The verbal support, & outpouring of emotion at the Den,was for me, marvelous. I wish it was like that at every Town home game.
But the fences. dayglows, cops & anger no no no.
You have a valid point...i too agree the Town m oro ns
will spoil it given chance.
The only solution I can offer at this stage is...
MK Ultra's seated in the right wing (as of the players tunnel) of the upper & lower L B stand. & coaches right outside, kept in , what 10 or 15 minutes max while the Huddersfield support gets out of the way.

My main gripe is other clubs do all they can to arrange and maximise the logistics in there favour, some have far worse 'problem' scenarios than Town have ever had..but try none the less.

One perfect opportunity is literally staring Hoyle in the face, & One idea you have opinioned !
The KILNER BANK.
spot on, ...7000 going at it, just what the doctor ordered, & could be done too.
nevermind season tickets for this one. (One game!!)
unreserved - pay on the day.
(it's never going to happen)
but maybe It could have....
SHOULD HAVE....

Myth.
Brycey..!

anything to report from the SHAY ?

What was wrong with 38's comments ????????????????

Darn, good to see you are still on the case mate..
It seems every game I watch on TV now the fans are ALL standing. These are prem games too with like 50,000 fans there...jeez, our security staff must be having fits at the thought of that...if we get 50 standing some geezer in a flash jkt has a blimming wet dream..

Things is tho' Darn, you're preaching to the converted on here...how do we get the message of frustration down to those who make the decisions at the 'pharm ?

As for ticket prices for tuesday...i can only think that as the receipts go into a 'pool' along with all the other play-off games, that Town need permission to reduce the prices ??

I agree tho' that having a stadium half empty every game doesn't follow the law of supply and demand....It is painfully obvious that the 10,000 empty seats every week are because it is too expensive...if we can get folk through the turnstiles the atmosphere will be great, then they'll get hooked, then you can edge prices up..but the current 'ghost of galpharm' is sheet.

what did 38 say that was 'censored' ?

It's a good point you make here Darn....
Although I don't remember there being too many seats left at Bournmouth home game last season, twas a cracking atmosphere too that night....

But it would certainly help if there are some good deals to get bums on the final few seats. When was the last time got over 20,000 at the Galph?? Was it the Leeds game 3 years ago?

Darn, I never got to the Shay yesterday. My missus wanted a day out at the garden centre, and a pub lunch...
But from what I heard it was a bit heart breaking, so I'm glad I never went. It's hard enough keeping sane with the ups & downs following Town...

I pointed out some very well known facts about away supporters treatment at elland road and the new den..
those were the reasons why we couldnt get the intimidation that goes on there at our place..
to the mods..dont censor what is patently true and accepted, even by the millwall manager himself..he smiled about it, he likes it, he is as big a clown as those that cause the "aggressive" intimidatory atmosphere..
Elland road is just the same , difference is wyp actually police it, whereas the met take the overtime and dont..again a very well known and accepted fact of footballing life..

I don't get why clubs have to put on offers for play off games. There was a blunt fan on radio Sheffield saying they need to do this at the lane and even suggested it could be free. Are these not the most exciting games of the season that everyone wants to be at? The prize is Wembley, isn't it a massive game?

I think the play-offs, for those clubs who have been through them a few times, are losing their attractiveness.

For Town,now with 3 in a row, it's just another play off ...and for Utd, I suppose it's a major let down...MKDons are the same, regular play-off team over the past number of years and it's not bringing out the grannies and grandads in MK is it...

For me, there are 24 teams in Championship, Div1 and Div 2, and they all have different promo and relegation formula's... 4 up from Div 2, 3 up from Div 2..., 3 down from Champ, 4 down from Div 1 , 2 down from Div 2.... Div 1 has 3 up and 4 down, no wonder its a tough league, Div 2 has 4 up and 2 down...

just saying , it needs sorting out...

id like to see the club that finishes 3rd go straight into the final..
5th plays 6th winner plays 4th..etc.. 3rd get a good advantage then..
5th v 6th is 2 legs.. winner v 4th(at home) is a one off etc..
4th then gets home advantage and 2 games less..
clubs who finish 10 points or more in some cases behind others dont deserve anything like a "level playing field"...they simply didnt do "enough" in the regular season and would have to work much harder in the play offs..
same as now, everyone would know the score before the season starts and the large advantage of finishing as high as you possibly can would see the "run in" to the end of the season being spiced up somewhat further.. we have been "safe" in the play offs for a while as have others in this league and the other divisions..

Great idea 38

Darn, They were unlucky, Apparently that was the first game that Halifax had not scored for a long time,, They bossed it big time and hit the bar twice.,, Shame as the lads from work said they would be more than happy in the proper conference for a few seasons.,,,,,,,,,,, There were loads of empty seats against Bornmuff !!

Hopefully, after the borefest of a final between MK and Stevenage in an empty ground they'll realise what boll ocks it is and go back to three go up automatic.

I'd go further...given the obvious equality now between Championship and Div 1 ( see Norwich, Saints, etc) and Div 1 and Div 2 (MKDons, Stevenage, etc)...the up and downs should be the same.

Championship 4 down///Div 1. 3 up.+one from play-offs
Div 1- 4 down , // Div 2 , 3 up, + one from play offs
Div 2 - 4 down // Conference 3 up , + one from play offs

How they justify protecting Championship clubs to only 3 down...there by restricting Div 1 to 3 up is nonsense, is all about protecting the Premier League legacy..
and I'm not just saying that 'cos of Town's situation...it's just plain unfair to me.

I see where you're coming from 38, with the advantage for 3rd placed...but the solution offered, (imo) = too American.
I go more along the lines of Jacko's idea of the same 'up' & 'darn' from each division, being.

2.

That's it, Two.

or how about the playoff final being at the home ground of the highest placed team....that should be advantage enough. ? just a thought.
Izzy hits it on the head...! Imagine Wembley if it;s Stevenage v MK they won't be able to fill the bottom tire.

Myth, soz mate, just like Brycey, I too saw lots of empty seats against Bournemouth, albeit on TV...But the same, even more so the home leg against Millwall (I was there for that one)...
& hence the thread...WHY ?
Wednesday have shown us it can be done, & DID IT.
I want the same for Town.

any attendance around the 16 or 17 thou mark is an indication that no one darn at the club has done anything above & beyond what's expected of them to 'make it an event'...
The regular 13/15 thou have done their bit,
the players will have done their bit...just.
7000 empty seats will not be enough.

38 thou + at Hillsborough.
Things can be done to help fill the 'Pharm.

question.
Will these things get carried out ?

The play offs are the best part of the season.
Life isn't fair, and it's more interesting that way.

Betraying your Nietzsche leanings again hey, Professor?
