Title: Talking to 2 Blackpool fans in Turkey.........
Post by: mrfrostsdad on June 11, 2016, 05:38:05 pm
Relegation is a disaster for anyone. Especially in terms of financial matters. How/if we bounce back will make a multitude of different over the next year or two. Anyway, I'm in Turkey and I got talking to a guy and his Mrs who are Blackpool fans. Been STH's for years, but not next season. They've had enough. Apparently they reckon they've sold 120 season tickets for next year. Yup, 120.

So, however bad things have been for us for a couple of years, and they have, things are nowhere near as bad as they are for Blackpool.

Weren't Blackpool fans boycotting their club last summer? Only for their lowest league attendance of the season to be c5,900?

They'll have one of the best average attendances in League Two next season.

Their attendance figures were based on tickets sold. Also it was the second year of a two year season ticket they sold when they were still in the Championship. Even if they hadn't been relegated a lot of people weren't going to renew.

I've read the same about how few ST's they've sold. I would imagine that if they start well they will get decent attendances but if not then the away fans could possibly well out number them.

The figures were manipulated.

These two reckoned they were dead certs to drop to the Conference.
I guess that only leaves one spot for us to avoid then! 😱😊👍

They have sold 600 now I think, I doubt they will get a anywhere near 3500 rigo unless there is a lot of away fans
