General sale for arsenal

[Hiney]

So if the 2174 games played at the Goldstone is correct, that is 0.97% of matches had a gate of 30k or more….and not one post April 1979.

Memories are a funny thing.

And not one 30k-plus gate in the top flight

Because it didn't cost the earth to watch at The Goldstone

When we went to the Goldstone footballers weren't paid disgusting amounts of money.
That said to watch Arsenal in our lovely stadium for £30 odd quid isn't that bad I don't think.

Thumbs up

I still don't understand how some people still seem able to give an 'actual' thumbs up when the function seems to have disappeared on here.

Well I'm certainly not complaining, me and my young'un are going for a total price of £37 can't argue with that

Depends what version of NSC you are using.

Modern = No Thumbs
Classic = Thumbs

"Day-tripper" is football parlance for an uncommitted fan who you are unlikely to see again anytime soon. If you looked a bit more carefully instead of jumping to conclusions you would notice I acknowledged the modern day realities of football finance.

In my extremely humble opinion, "Tony" and his minions would have been better off setting the price of tickets at a level where they were gleefully snapped up by Albion fans i.e. STHs and other people with purchase history at The Amex. The fact that so many have gone to sponsors, and so many more have gone to people without purchase history at The Amex, does not delight me. Sorry.

After nearly a day and a half at my desk without pressing work I now have some to do, so you will be spared further wisdom for a while.

How many?
How many compared to a top league game?
How do you know?

Edit: Just wanting to know, not spoiling for a fight.

Have you got a breakdown of those numbers, to back this up.

You will ALWAYS get 'casual' fans wanting to go to big games. A game against Arsenal IS a big game, whether you like it or not. It's ALWAYS been the case.

In 1967, we got drawn against Chelsea in the FA Cup. The previous home game was against Walsall, and 13,411 went to see it.

The Chelsea game attracted 35,000

I don't see why people are getting so agitated by all of this.

There are about 350 non-season tickets in each of W1I and W1A. These 700 tickets are normally the last to be sold in the stadium (not great views and relatively expensive to other places with better views). For the Arsenal game, when there were still hundreds of better seats available around the stadium these blocks were all but "sold out". The only possible explanation for this is that the club held them back and the only reason they'd do that is for non-regulation fans i.e. sponsors etc.

For a league game these WSL blocks are sold in the normal way (currently 300+ available in each for Ipswich tomorrow night) but something similar happens with tickets held back on a smaller scale in the southern end of the ESL and sometimes in the South Stand.

I know because I pay attention on NSC and (sadly) spend time looking at ticket sales in the lead up to games.

You are anxious about 700 tickets used by the club for sponsors / charities / Albion in the Community etc... rather than the 29,800 which have been sold to season ticket holders and regular fans?

Really ??
