Chris Heck - President of Business Operations

But they were wrong about 30,000. There was easily 35,000 there

Still very sad there still 7000 empty spots going begging

I think it's fair to say there isn't anywhere near as many people on the waiting list as has previously been claimed.  If there are, then most are just doing what many Brits do as a pastime, and join a queue for the sheer fun of it. 

There's a huge difference between buying a season ticket and paying £60 to sit alone against Brentford as a one off. That aside, the whole pricing and ticketing structure at the moment is fucked and doesn't work. It's an accountants wet dream that doesn't work in reality and designed to squeeze every last penny out of people without thinking of the longer term strategy.

In short, I think Chris Heck hasn't a clue and is on some sort of bonus scheme that promotes short termism to pad his own pocket.

Its definitely dropped i think

Didn't help that Brentford only sold 1000 of their smaller allocation, so at least 1500 away tickets upper and lower empty. My 2 x lads couldn't make it last night and put their tickets on for resale but as not sold out their seats weren't available for resale thus empty.

I don't think it was just the prices last night, a few season ticket holders might have give it a miss as well. A dad and his lad who usually sit next to us weren't there and a couple behind us were missing as well.

The fella that sits next to me (STH) was absent last night as well. Went to see The Nutcracker at The Hippodrome. Yes obviously I sit in Trinity Upper.

Yes a few ST holders by me in the LH were missing last night and I reckon we have this conversation every December.

Last season it was Man CIty and Arsenal in this week - so it wasn't an issue!

The attendance last night has nothing to do with people on a season ticket waiting list. Which has been explained. Over and over again.

Couple of images (nicked) from Twitter - shows how many empty seats there were in the Trinity and North Stand last night...

This was at 85 minutes, 3-1 up on a weeknight, whilst I don't disagree that there was plenty of empty seats, I don't think these are a realistic photos to gauge how many empty seat ther was

[London Villan]

Ok Chris.

[claret+blue ed]

Ok Chris.

Absolutely, local schools and families could have benefitted from them. Lots of local people struggling financially who could have really enjoyed last night and a big PR opportunity missed as a result.

I feel like this has been covered before too, though could be wrong. Isn’t there very minimal take up when we try this?
