Dont think people will pay full price vs blackpool when they can pay just a tenner tuesday night vs hull
Yes, I looked at the ticket website yesterday and looks like they sold alot during the day. I estimated 7,700 but it will be great if we could exceed that. Maybe the early signs of the feel good factor returning.

I missed the opening game because of this overlap. It's a damn shame , 3 of us missed the last home game , now at least 5 of us will miss this one . These games should be played on a Friday night surely if at all possible. Think of the revenue loss at both venues ?

We were talking about this at work.In bygone days the races and the football never clashed due to the close proximity of BV and the Racecourse.Because we are now at the KMS it apparently isn't seen as an issue.As you say Hoola, there are still people who want to go to both events so have to choose which one to attend.As it happens, my wife wanted to do the races today so she could see Texas after the races had finished.Luckily she backed off so i will be at the game.The games that were played on Friday nights were great to go to.
How many away tickets have been sold though
Quote from: WheatleyRover on August 19, 2017, 12:26:44 pmHow many away tickets have been sold thoughProbably hardly any. Blackpool fans buy their tickets at the away grounds so Oyston doesn't get a cut.

Blackpool fans buy their tickets at the away grounds so Oyston doesn't get a cut.Lets say todays opposition was Blackburn and we were forced to move to Friday night, how big an impact would that have on away ticket revenue? Given that public transport still lives in the dark ages and services stop at a certain timeShould the reacecourse compensate Rovers for loss of revenue?

The police don't see it as an issue. A derby game like Rotherham might be a different story
