Quote from: Toronto Villa on February 19, 2018, 10:29:13 PMQuote from: QuintonVilla on February 19, 2018, 10:12:30 PM28,000 tickets sold according to Twitter. We've lost 12,000 fans in 9 days. Only come to see the Small Heath...Or how about it's a Tuesday night vs Preston who won't fill their allocation. A lot of people simply can't afford to go, especially those who also travel away. We had something like 7000 at Fulham (if reports are accurate). Our support is outstanding, so suggesting otherwise is bollocks.I think the point being made was that these people always seem to be able to afford to go to the Blues game. I think our support is good, not outstanding. 28,000 is slightly disappointing given there is no home game this Saturday or last Saturday. I can understand it when we are at home on the Saturday and then again on the Tuesday but that isn't the case for the Preston game.Burton had a similar amount of fans present 2 weeks ago to what Preston will have tomorrow night. We got 33,000 for that game.

While we, rightly, think getting 28K is a bit crap, Black Country Barcelona are giving each other tongue baths about averaging just under 28K and talking about how they need a 40K+ capacity.

We're in the Championship and we are playing Preston North End on a Tuesday evening, not Saturday like the Burton game. To expect a massive crowd isn't realistic. And as for no home game, we are travelling to Sheffield where I have no doubt many fans will be there at the cost a few hundred quid.
Q.V., your beloved Leeds only got 28,004 yesterday, for a weekend game against a team in the top six.
