It's the play offs. It'll be 20,000 short of capacity and close to the lowest crowd of the season. It is embarrassing. Our support has rightly received a lot of praise this season. It will receive a lot of piss taking/criticism on Saturday and rightly so.

i think you need to get a sense of perspective on the word 'embarrassing'

Begging fans to come and watch their 'team' is even more embarrassing...

It’s high time the powers that be had a word with the players about showing some balls on the pitch if they had we would all be liking forward to the championship now, whatever the attendance on Saturday our supporters have done everything asked of them and more it’s time the players gave something back.
 
Interested to see how many non attendees will crawl out the woodwork if we get to Wembley
 
The opposition still haven't sold out their "meagre" allocation, I don't think the apathy just belongs to us. Nowt will be won or lost on Saturday, far more important a game next Thursday tbh.

Yep I’d never criticise anyone who can’t go, key word being can’t whether it be financial reasons, work or other commitments, but there’s undoubtedly a lot for this match who are just turning their back on it because they’re a bit pissed off at the end to the season and for missing out on top 2. We all feel that way, but supporters should still be there to support our club if they can make it especially in a game of this magnitude - even more so when there is still a very realistic chance we can still do it and get promotion. Baffling really and very disappointing because usually I’ll back our support to the hilt when it’s been criticised before but it’s hard to defend this if the turn out is as poor as it’s looking.

Will these same type of non goers therefore not go to a single game next season if we don't go up?

After all the moaning about having their allocation cut.:lol:

I see they’ve sold out at home, but kept the full Milton End clear. It’s just a waiting game to see whether we get the 1900 minimum or the whole lot.

So have every club. Even inside the ground, there are a hig proportion of people who watch about half the game on the TVs in the concourse

We have more than most I would say. Home games 35th min people are racing down to get a pint it’s quite bad really.

Agree , ideally we need a couple of goals lead to take to Pompey , for the record I won't be there or at Wembley if we get there due to a family bereavement on Wednesday morning , hopefully a couple of exiles will be cely at Pompey next Thursday courtesy of tickets from me and my old man , we need a similar performance to Barnsley at home , take the game to them and score more than 1 , Pompey arent that good , a decent home crowd and atmosphere should sway it for us. O think we should have pissed this league and even holding onto winning positions in the last few games would have been enough. Personally I have lost interest this week with football but if we could do get promotion it would give our family a massive boost !!

I don't understand why anyone would not want to go.

Not having a go at anyone who doesn't want to... Just don't get it myself

I want to go but got myself in the predicament of not contemplating being in the play offs and agreeing to go to two family engagements (one this weekend, the other weekend of the final).

I only had approval from our lass to sack one off and had to choose. Traded this weekend for the final weekend should we get there. That’s going to look f***ing stupid if we lose :neutral:

Grow some balls

I'll be honest and say I've never paid that much attention to other fans - I think it's the same at Newcastle as well.

Away games everyone is absolutely smashed upon entering the stadium as well. We have alcohol problems
 
We've been pretty shit at home when we've got big crowds this season. Maybe those who aren't going are working a deliberate ploy to coax a decent performance out of the lads.

F*CK, I'm seeing conspiracies everywhere. I'm turning in to Alex Jones!!!

How can they give you something they aren't capable of? No one can argue that they haven't tried their best - not being good enough isn't their fault so they owe fans absolutely nothing if they have performed to the best of their capabilities

We took 1900 to Bristol Rovers midweek for the Checkatrade semi so hope we can take this as a minimum to Pompey for a more important game.
