Hopefully now after 2 cracking results and that moment on Saturday, we will be closing in on a full house (for the area's that are open) on Boxing day with the prices being so low!! Let's hope the club really push it over the next 48 hours and on the morning of the game so the amount of people who will pay on the gate is decent as well!
How the hell are they allowed to put a Boxing Day fixture on the red button, that stinks that. Traditionally every bloke I know who’s into football goes to the games on Boxing Day, now sky are giving people the option to stay in the pub a lot are going to do it. Football will be dead in a few years I’m telling you. They’re killing the lot.
I wouldn't have any game on the red button. Either it's picked for Sky live coverage on one of their channels, you go to the game or you don't see it. Red button kills crowds especially this time of the year where people will decide to watch in warmth.
They are killing the game I agree but those fans that decide not to go will miss the electric atmosphere that a top Oakwell crowd will generate. Especially now with the fight back on track and being massive underdogs for this one the atmosphere is gonna be great , look at the reaction of the fans that went to Millwall it’s one of those in years to come to say I was there and I for one wished I was . Wouldn’t miss this for a gold pig .
We always celebrate our family Christmas day on Boxing Day - I hope we can sell out, but I don't think I'll even get to see it.
Really surprised they haven't sold out and still have around 700 available. Looking on our eticketing map the home ends look really full with a lot of areas totally sold out or with just single tickets available.
Pretty expensive time of year Crimbo. Also streaming games is pretty easy, so I think they've done ok tbf.
I admire your optimism but no way is it going to be anywhere near a full house. I suspect a number of ST holders won't be there (they will be included in the overall attendance figure). West Brom still have around 700 tickets left to sell from their initial allocation.
When I say full house, I mean as in East, Ponty and half of the west, plus around 4000 from WBA - for some strange reason we don't allow 5500 in the north anymore!
