Wilder, what's the score?

[MichaelDebeve]

I’ll give you £30 for the pair

19,000 season ticket holders, two stinking results in a row, Wednesday night, live on Sky, very expensive prices, mid table before kick off.
At most 2,000 away fans.

We were never getting five thousand walk-ups last night in the circumstances.

Biggest championship attendance by far last night .
Clubs with much cheaper tickets with half empty stadia .
Go figure .

I thought the atmosphere was very poor last night, particularly for a night match. Although I do think generally it's been fairly poor most of this season. I'm not sure the red faction move has worked out.

However I'm a firm believer that it takes the team on the pitch and in the stands together to create an atmosphere (i.e players on the front foot playing with a high tempo gets the crowd going and vice versa). Things definitely picked up a bit second half on and off the pitch, but it was an underwhelming atmosphere for me.

I was sat more centrally in the West Upper last night rather than my usual seat towards NW - probably why it felt slightly louder for me haha.

Noticed a couple of the players, think it was Hackney and McGree, tried to gee the crowd up after an attacking move.

Thought McGree was quietly brilliant last night

Luton's ground holds 12,000, they were full.
Millwall's holds 20,000, they had 14,000.
Hull had 20,000 in a 25,000 seat stadium.

All 3 teams were in poor form too.

The only team with a half empty stadium was Blackburn, 13,647 fans and they've never had the fanbase to fill a 31,000 seat stadium in the first place.

We obviously had more fans than clubs with smaller fanbases and smaller stadiums.

Whilst I empathise with anyone priced out of coming to the game, and our walk up prices (and prices in general) are atrocious, I seriously doubt the 4-6k figure of fans desperate to get to a game.

I had my wife's and eldest sons tickets I couldn't give away last night, as did a couple of friends, and there were plenty of empty seats around us in the north that were empty, where season ticket holders hadn't came, but evidently couldn't find someone to make use of a ticket either.

I do get what you mean here. There is apathy, even amongst those who have already paid out for tickets. But, if I am working away I generally ring round a small number of friends and fam, often at short notice, hence they have on occassion not been used. I would happily let someone sit in those seats for free, if I couldn't use them, and the club had a mechanism to pass them onto someone deserving, perhaps through some form of community initiative. Probably complicated and messy but I stand by the argument there is a big number who would snap your hand off given the chance.

It didn’t help that the app to transfer your season ticket was down, so you had to ring the club to get a paper ticket to be collected at the ground.

But, you have to realise, it’s not cheap for the walk ups and we’ve had some pretty rubbish results at home and been beaten away by a couple of very average teams, we have to be honest with ourselves….

The supporters expect better than served up so far and that is always reflected in the crowd size, keep winning and drawing in the games we can’t win and watch them grow

Simple really

Yeah that's fair enough I guess. Walk-up pricing is ridiculous.
