Crowd for Boxing Day

[Wrenthorpe Mackem]

What's it likely to be? Can't see more than 35K. Remember the optimism this time last year that led to 46K......all seems a long time ago now.

Think I'll stay on the drink

32,000 max unfortunately

 

[iansun]

Be surprised if it's over 30,000

 

[tonyfromalnwick]

Whatever it is, it'll be too much for the precious players to handle. They don't like big crowds you know.

 

[Its Him Again]

29k ish plus whatever they bring.
We are relying on the townies for this one as public transport shit for many

 

[Guinness Guzzler]

I'll go for 37,000. Still expect it to be the biggest attendance of the season; no matter how shit we are there's always a lot of exiles back who are happy just to get to go to a match with their family. Don't think it'll get the same momentum as last time though, for obvious reasons

 

[Lord Alfred]

Won't happen but I'd love to see the fans do the same as last year and fill the place and really get behind the team. If that fails we know where the blame lies.

 

[Venkman]

Not going this year, too much fanny on without buses and the prospect of warmth, booze and scran is tipping the balance this year.

I'm not sure about that.
A lot of season ticket holders might not even bother.
Really depressing times.

nah the hardcore always get there somehow.

Doing it different this year, going with mrs (no) and kids to watch Boxing Day dip, then they gonna accompany me and son to match. Home for a few drinks and left over Christmas meat.

People coming home for Christmas will push the attendance to about 39k for me.

 

[Oli Wagkz]

Depends what happens in the next 2/3 weeks.

Aye but they'll be counted in the attendance regardless, so we've got at least 24,000, plus all the exiles, people who just fancy going to the match after the stress of Christmas and the likes. It'll be well attended despite current form imo

 

[Bamber]

Wont be far off 40k. So many people will be back home for xmas and it will probably be the only game they manage to get to at the SOL.

The problem is, our players are scared of these nasty big crowds

 

[Alfa]

31/32k I think. Most of the exiles will have been forewarned by those of us have to sit through it at the minute to spend their time/money elsewhere.

You must really have to despise someone this festive season to give them the ‘Gift of football’ we’re dishing up at the moment.

 

[Safc88]

Far far higher than those idiots running the show deserve

 

[Deleted member 2014]

The Boxing Day sales, look like a good bet this year.
Maybe find a 20 shots a season striker, for a bargain price.

I digress.
34,000 tops.

 

[Wearside Wanderer II]

33,478

The way we are playing it will put kids off for life if they get to watch this shit show for a Xmas present

 

[Sidewinder2]

The way the 2 gonks have fucked up the last 12 months they wouldn't dare try and whip it up like last year. Although scrap that these two daft twats probably would.
