Under 40,000 then in the end so we would have had 10,000 empty seats with new north

What a strange little man you are

Oh FOR FUCKS SAKE can someone make it stop now?

[Flin5tone]

It's a problem for the club
They have misjudged the support . Other well supported clubs were packed to the rafters tonight. 

The club made a huge mistake with the pricing

[coreyfeldman]

Can mods explain how I block please? Ta

Yes, but the pricing thing is a different issue isn't it? We all agree on that.

It's the tedious "10,000 empty seats" stuff that you just keep banging on and on about.

It's so boring and predictable.

[Flin5tone]

If my posts pointing out important facts upset you so much then it's probably best you 'block me'.

It's like dealing with a load of upset teenagers on Facebook on here at times. You don't like the facts and 'block out' the truth .

The club need to sort it out or we WiLL have 10,000 empty seats on many occasions

It's pure GREED and many people have commented that the price put them off

Driving out then local working class for some fantasy waiting list will end in disaster.

[pauliewalnuts]

I can't even make it stop by blocking you, as you'd still show up in quoted posts.

Can't you just talk about something else for a change? You'd be doing us all a favour.

Even if you keep the 10,000 empty seats thing, mix it up with maybe talking about something else every now and then?

He can't say he hasn't been warned.

[coreyfeldman]

Exactly, it's the fact that you only post about ticket prices and attendances and just repeat yourself constantly. It's so feckin boring, we get it, the club is greedy and we'll have empty seats. Please give it a rest

[tomd2103]

Of course completely ignoring the fact that the new stand won't be completed for a few years, by which time we might not be 11th in the league.

If he's moaning about the prices for tonight, wait until he sees the prices for Bruce Springsteen in the summer!

Any chance we can stop this thread and come back when the new stand is completed

Exactly, if we're in the mix for Europe then we'd probably sell another few thousand tickets. Which you'd assume is the clubs logic.

Some tickets are expensive, yes, but name me a Premier league club who doesn't have similar priced tickets that has a ground our size

Bullshit.  Elland Road was 1,000 under capacity, St Mary's was half empty and Palace haven't published figures. 

[KevinGage]

Up to 10 thousand empty seats now, brilliant.

Personally I reckon we should Keep Right On with the development, seeing as we've hit 40,000 so often in recent years. It is however very considerate how supporters of a two bob club with two broken down stands worry so much about ours. Shows the decency in the average fan.

It was noticable that the empty seats were blocks of the most expensive. And of course, alongside all the other reasons not to attend you can add your car getting a ticket when you have been forced to drive due to the lack of public transport.

One bugbear of mine that is just getting worse is the bottleneck on Trinity Road towards the old Upper Grounds pub. Just the other side of the vans that close the road cars were parked on both sides and numerous taxi's were trying to approach the ground within 10 minutes of the final whistle. With thousands heading in the oppossite direction it was chaos and rather fractious at times.
I can't understand why the road isn't closed up to it's junction with Witton Road with access restricted to residents and those with mobility issues, before and after the game for a spell.
