Attendance Thread - Watford

[DBStar]

I would guess prices go up before capacity.

Why do they have segregation in the South stand ?

Would like to know how many are wasted by the away fans not being able to use the front of the north stand upper.

Can't really remember 1000s of seats being empty (when we sold out) between the home and away fans when they used to be in the south stand. I'm convinced all it used to be was a little barrier between the swc and away section.

And to think some want the aways shifting back to the lower bowl. It looked absolutely shocking when we had to protect 2k seats or whatever and only a few hundred away fans were turning up.

If we go 1-0 up the roof will takeoff.

Separate the family zone from Roker End isnt it?

Why do you think Murray extended? Trying to keep up with the Mags who had also extended that year?

The mags extended mainly because they couldn't accept we had a bigger stadium than them. We were filling the ground and Murray was rightly planning for the future, as we should be doing so know. Average crowds of circa 40k in the championship would suggest we'd have no problems filling the ground if competing in the PL.

Got to plan for the future.

Best thing the club could do now is give Watford fans "unreserved seating" ...move them up a section and give them around 1100 seats ( if they have sold around 1k )

Aey
But why ?
Pure stupidity
It’s obviously not that much of a concern if they can sell them willy nilly
Baffling

Which will save money on the extension for a starter.

If the away fans were in the SS tomorrow we'd have an absolutely incredible 46,000 attendance whilst at the same time looking to the outside world that we couldnt even sell out the lower bit of the stadium. And also have us shooting towards a goal with empty seats and scattered Watford fans behind it.

It's going to be total support tomorrow from all sides, as it should be

Vast majority of our tickets are also season tickets and walks up sales aren't very big for most games so we probably couldn't fill the seats most games.

That's an issue if safety over how things might look on TV.

Imagine selling 45,000 tickets for a championship game , and this is what the ground looks like to the outside world and the players . Cos that's pretty much what it would look like tomorrow

There was many a game the lower bowl was virtually full when the support was high.

People are far too concerned about how other people view us. Be a few hundred fans waited for pay day to buy a ticket and now can't get one but at least it looks better on TV.

But far far more when they're upstairs.

It wouldn’t, we’d sell more of the tickets. Exactly like we used too when our support warranted it.
