So say Barnsley and Oxford lose on Tuesday, what do we think the crowd will be - much of a bump?
Just read sold out allocation on Thursday, wanting more lol12,000. Think Barnsley are close to their 2,135 allocation
The original Big Bertha was a German tank in WW1, we need a few howitzers fired on goal.If results go our way on Tuesday ,you might see this fine thing again . View attachment 19046
And still even now we persist with keeping 2000 seats empty. Utterly bizarre12,000. Think Barnsley are close to their 2,135 allocation
Sorry to be pedantic but it was actually a howitzer (large cannon)rather than a tankThe original Big Bertha was a German tank in WW1, we need a few howitzers fired on goal.
I'm sure we gave them 2,800 for this gameAnd still even now we persist with keeping 2000 seats empty. Utterly bizarre
No chance. Too much negativity around the place, even from those going to gamesTuesday results will have some bearing. That said it's the last home game of the season, we've won the last 3 and for many the last chance to see Dembele in a tangerine shirt. With Barnsley selling out, I would hope we will be over 14,000.
For 14k we’d either have to sell every single available ticket in the home stands, or send Barnsley another 2000 ticketsTuesday results will have some bearing.

The attendance for Fleetwood was 10,800. Barnsley are bringing 1400 more. So even if we have the same home numbers that would take us over 12,000. With it being a Saturday and the last home game, I would expect more, especially if we still had a sniff of making 6th place. Maybe 14,000 is a little ambitious but we should be close to 13,000.For 14k we’d either have to sell every single available ticket in the home stands, or send Barnsley another 2000 tickets
12,000-12,500 is more realistic
Things like that may happen a bit, although can improve, but ultimately you need a popular product to sell and to be in the mix.Have the club done any promotional work to advertise the game, are they pro active chasing every potential customer, any discounts or incentives, any promotion in schools , competitions for free tickets???? I haven’t seen the game even mentioned anywhere other than on here…yet another example of the poor communication skills and the disconnect with potential customers/fans. Marketing and advertising is virtually non existent and Blackpool fc is weaker in the community than Fleetwood pke and even Fylde and that simply has to change.
I’m one of the negative nellys and I’ll be there. Tutting, screaming “pass it forward!” and keeping a “FFS CJ” tally goingThere is negativity but a few factors could still bump the crowd it up a little.
Depends if we're in with a shout and even then it's an outside chance.
Weather should be decent.
Tough one, if it were in our hands then I’d say make the trip but because it’s not then go to Reading if we beat BarnsleyNot sure I can justify another round trip to Bloomfield this Saturday but I am seriously tempted.
a 500 mile round trip though and then if we won I’d obviously have to do reading away the following week to see us guarantee play offs if we were to.
What would you lot do in my position
I remember going with my son to watch us against Bristol City the last regular game when we thought we needed to win to get 6th place but in the end a draw was enough and the rest is history. An amazing atmosphere and I remember holding up white cards, others had tangerine ones making an amazing siight. Ollie certainly gave us “the best trip we have ever been on” sorry Critch but leave the stupid fist pumps to Kloppy
With it being televised may give Stevenage some motivationI can't see Stevenage causing an upset on Friday. They have won one in their last six and have nothing to play for.
We can take it to the last game of the season though so that's enough for me to go on Saturday.
We have a small chance.
I hope they kick Oxford black and blue, as well as getting a result.With it being televised may give Stevenage some motivation
It was absolutely deafening before the game
I would be going. Massive game now.Not sure I can justify another round trip to Bloomfield this Saturday but I am seriously tempted.

I think even a draw would do to be honest. A lot riding on our results but weirdly sooner be in our position than theirs - nothing to lose.A, B & C now sold out. Just so hope by a miracle stevenage can win on fri.. that would be a huge result. Unlikely but didn't expect last night results
