Largest crowd this season V Cardiff?

[Moshe Gariani]

Has anybody on NSC been locked out of the Goldstone on a match day.!

I never had the misfortune to be locked out completely. Blackpool in 1978 the North Stand was full by 1.30pm and we had to leg it round the East. That day there were reportedly 25,000 who didn't get in.

I think we need to hand out a couple of THRASHINGS before we fill the stadium personally. A couple of big victories rather than 1 goal wins are needed to motivate the fair weather fans ( and we are blessed with an abundance of them in Sussex)

Although we are top of the table I don't see a big spike in attendance coming up, sadly.

Our lack of thrashings is the one thing that makes me doubt our ability to stay in the top 2. And it's not good for my nerves either!

Thrown out once or twice

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Just over 2,000 tickets left for sale.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Just over 2,000 tickets left for sale.

How many have Cardiff sold?

 

[Simontheseagull]

Scalding hot weak Bovril and a slightly stale Wagon Wheel (those HUGE ones we used to have in the olden days!)

You can get a cold gristle burger in a stale bun in the 1901 club for £14. A sandwich of any kind, even a prawn one, would be an improvement on what is currently being offered.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

How many have Cardiff sold?

No idea, my guess is they will bring 1,200.

0845 345 1400 - that's their ticket line if you want to find out.

 

[The Birdman]

Don't forget the woodlice in the tea and processed cheese Rolls.

 

[cardboard]

They had sold 1,000 by yesterday

 

[Lady Whistledown]

No idea, my guess is they will bring 1,200.

0845 345 1400 - that's their ticket line if you want to find out.

Probably not the best week to ring a Welsh number and ask a question in an English accent


Personally, I just want to know if Sam & the lads will be doing a lap of honour

It's gonna be a good one - I can feel it in my bones.

 

[seagully]

I'll be there with the missus for my first game of the season. Were definately loose now

 

[MattBackHome]

I'm expecting a larger than usual pre-match frisson when I take my seat.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

I'm expecting a larger than usual pre-match frisson .

They'll have sold out by 2.15pm

Yep. I was locked out of the FA cup quarter final against Norwich. They shut all the doors at about 2.30pm. I watched the game from the roof of one of the houses behind the chicken run.

 

[worthingseagull]

IMO It will easily be the largest crowd of the season circa 26800

 

[1901Phil]

I first watched in 1956 and can remember the Goldstone being packed with an all standing crowd of ( I think ) 30,000 ish
Not sure they were all working class

There used to be 60,000 working class supporters week in week out with at least the same number locked out.

Try telling the younger fans this and they wont believe you.

Out for an extra hot curry the night before?

One of my very first games and was nicely settled into the North Stand by 1.00 (where do I go for a pee?) Even today it ranks as the most memorable of all the games (Ex play offs) I've been to.

Am I right in thinking if we'd beaten B'pool by 7 then it didn't matter what Stains - Spurs did? I recall thinking that 7 was going to be needed and had real (teenage) confidence that we would do it
