And make it clear from the start that season ticket holders will have to attend if they want to have a chance for tickets to any future glamour ties.

I'm hoping so but just not sure with our poor cup attendances. However this is Europe so I hope think they will.

I was at this match which was probably the highest attendance that season ,add another 20 % to this would be a figment of a vivid imagination.
Sunderland 2 v 1 Bolton Wanderers
19 April 1976, Roker Park, Football League Division 2
Attendance 51,983
Wearside Wanderer II

They will all sell out, even against the pot 4 clubs.

As a parent I think it would be unfair to deny my kids the chance to experience what could be a once in a lifetime chance to see European games.

Aye.I think people underestimate just how much of our fan base travel from outlying areas and further afield.Thursday nights as well isn’t going to make it easy for some
Back in the sols early days we had the highest % of ST holders living more than 100 miles from their clubs stadium.
There’s more televised games now. Thursday games also mean there’ll be only a handful of Saturday 3pm KOs

What was the attendance on Sunday? I've not seen it reported anywhere

I only wish me da had felt the same for the Vasas match in 73. He blamed the club for putting the prices up. If anyone thinks the current regime won’t do the same then they’ve been living under a rock for the last year or so.

Our highest ever average attendance was 47.785 in 1949-50 when we hoyed away the league title. Does any body know the official Crowd for Sunday as I can't find it anywhere?

It doesn't make sense to sell 4 as a block? No ones paying £50 to see carrierbag on a Thursday night. If they do a block ticket (other clubs do, do this) then theyll have a decent crowd.

Not being able to afford the tickets is a different argument than “kids can’t stay up”. The club need to get the balance right on pricing. We obviously need to make sure we sell out.
I wouldn’t hold it against anyone not going if it was financially irresponsible for their situation. I would love to be able to go to every away game in Europe, but I know that there is no chance of affording it, so I will have to make a choice.

It will give an indication to how big our fan base is. Anyone unable to get to a prem game you'd imagine would want to go
Got talking to someone yesterday who was looking for the attendance figure and couldn't find it. It's been bugging me ever since because nowhere seems to have it.

Which seasons
I think late 40’s into 50’s we had around 40-47k as averages.
Some games 50/60k some games 20k
Maybe for the bigger clubs we could play….
But someone like Derry City?
Even the mags / Liverpool had poor gates for early European cup games at times.
We always seem to be slow with releasing this.
Do they count use an abacus to validate the numbers?
