Away Allocations

[Stu]

Time of year. Day played. Kick off time. I still haven't seen a credible reason for not taking the full allocation at Everton mind.

Cost of ticket, cost of public transport, weather projections possibly, historical data of away attendances at this time of year. Is there a historical declining trend in away attendances running up to crimbo?

Just out of interest, can anyone enlighten us as to whether we've had an instance in recent times of the Club taking the additional allocation and then failing to flog most of them?

There is no historical data of us not selling Everton away at 3pm on a Saturday since we invented the league!

If that's the case then it's right to question the decision.

I have a ticket for this one (thanks mate, you know who you are) but Joe of this parish suggested we may struggle for tix at Everton because we didn't sell out Liverpool.

Pretty sound analysis in the end.

The only explanation is that Nicola Keye was busy fielding questions about pies to realise they'd forgot to take the second option, despite all evidence and logic to the contrary.

It's like Southampton. We've sold out every time we've been since they've come up (and since I've been following us away for that matter), including Wednesday nights in December, yet we've only taken 1700.

We take 2400 to Newcatle last season yet we've only taken 1600.

Small time and idiotic.

Newcastle is at 5.30 and on the tellybox.

And less than a week before Christmas. That one makes sense to take a smaller allocation, Everton seems a weird one though.

a very good question, I think h&v need a man on the inside at villa park to answer quite a lot of the business related questions of our beloved

There's been a couple of times we haven't taken or haven't been given upstairs at Everton, which is a shame. Downstairs is not the best. We're on row 5 next week so we probably won't see feck all.

Randy Lerner is penny pinching us out of existence. The coaches at youth level have to buy their own coats ffs. If the club continues down this totally short sighted path we will do a Leeds.

you think so?
So the club won't take the "risk" of asking for the full allocation at away matches just in case there's a few leftover tickets to pay for? An extra thousand or so giving their full vocal backing to the boys in our hour of need?
I'd call that penny pinching and short sighted. What would you call it?

dont know but for various reasons some Villa fans dont go down any more ,,,,,,or only go occasionally ,,,,like when on the rare occasion they are able to purchase a ticket for an away match that has gone to general sale

I'd call it you being ridiculously over the top with comments like 'penny pinching us out of existence'.
