Play off games v Average attendances

You seem to be revelling in this.

No, just gutted. There seems to be a lot revelling in slagging the manager/club and players off at ever chance though and we get called apologists for mediocrity if we say anything.....Well it seems they have really shown the club if the numbers turn out to be true.....Just not sure how they think it will take us forward.
 
Would have thought the team you support being in a massive game with a trip to Wembley and promotion at stake would be enough? If that cant motivate you I have no idea what would. The game doesnt just define this season but also next season. If as rumoured the investment is coming in this summer then there is a good chance we will be getting some ££££ to improve the squad in the summer but will we be buying to get out of league 1 or buying to make an assault on Premiership promotion? This game is huge.

And I'd love to be there but cancelling five shows at a week's notice, as well a 3000 mile round trip, hotel, car hire etc etc make it a little difficult, as I'm sure you can appreciate.

A lot of fans are keeping their powder dry and will find the funds for the final, in the unlikely event that our hapless players find some balls and get past Portsmouth for the first time this season, but some simply can't afford both... again.

I still think there'll be 31,000 there this evening. Not far from our average and would be above average, if not for the fantastic attendance anomaly against Bradford.
 
Disagree as much as you like, deciding to sit in a pub in the town getting pissed when we have a play off match makes those who choose to do it twats imho. Sadly the rest of us will be having to put up with shite of mags taking the piss cause our supporters are fickle fuckers.
You bothered about the opinions of those ***** ? They've tried to take the piss for the last few seasons and failed spectacularly ! You let Mag's take the piss out of you ? If you have such a low opinion of fellow supporters why bother ?
 
Nobody is saying you have to agree with it but it's why it's happening.
Bit of a redundant statement, I don't have to agree with anything, I don't wait for permission to hold an opinion or to express that opinion.

What do you mean by your comment "it's why it's happening"? There isn't one reason why people are staying away tonight, there are more excuses than a pregnant nun on these threads.

It's also my choice to say that I don't understand why those who can go are refusing to go, which bit of that you don't understand?

People don't need to give reasons why they aren't going, it's their choice, but by the same token, I don't accept their comments that they are a great supporter/fan/follower.

If the season had gone the other way and we started shite then went on a run at the end to get us into the playoffs in good form there would be more people there tonight.

I didn't say it was the only reason but 16k people who were at the last game haven't all gone on holiday.
 
So people aren’t going because Portsmouth will be diving and cheating :lol:

No, they aren't going because many of our players, who are paid 5, 10, 20 times as much, are not clever enough to overcome the antics of these low-paid, low-skilled cloggers, and end up getting out-thought by them.
 
I choose to look at it this way:

Our league attendances are significantly higher than our play off attendances.

Everyone elses league attendances are significantly lower than their play off attendances.

The low skilled low paid cloggers we've failed to beat all season and finished below in the league over 46 games aye?

That’s not our fault though it’s the fault of the referees who in this league favour the smaller clubs whilst in premier they favour the big clubs. We just can’t win :lol:

People seem to conveniently forget that in Maguire we have probably the snidiest player in the league. That’s ok though apparently as he plays for us

I think we probably agree.
Personally I reckon @Reiver hid the nail squarely on the head when he said, "there are some people with understandable reasons for not going imo, not least the fact that the match is, in one way, meaningless. There'll be little sense of excitement, even with a 2/3-0 scoreline, because its only 'half time'."
I can't really get excited about this match at the moment because whatever the result today, like he says, it's only half time in the tie. I am sure I will change my attitude at the game.
My point will remain though, people don't need to make excuses for their non attendance, I just don't understand why those that can go don't.
