Attendance On Tuesday...

[MachoMadness]

Assuming there's pay on the day, that still takes us to about 12,000 which isn't bad. I do hope there is pay on the day as the office shut early today. A 3rd of them will be Blades fans, so maybe if we pretend we can fool the players into thinking we're away and cruise to another 3-0 win.

Does anyone know why the ticket office closed halfway through the day today? None of the shops closed early, why should the ticket office? We have a limited amount of time to sell as many tickets as possible and therefore make as much money as we can. Some people will be turned off getting tickets tomorrow if they know they're gonna have to go down early and queue for an hour.

Have to say its a good point. Seems a bit of a bizarre decision to close early. SM can you look into this. Shooting ourselves in the foot. Very steady stream of people buying tickets right up until it closed.

Ticket Office closing early isn't helpful I'd agree. But people have had weeks to buy a ticket.

Plus the staff have a life and maybe want to go out on NYE like most other people.
Good too see that DRFC are considerate bosses.

Surely there is no harm staying open until 4pm like normal. I mean 4pm isnt exactly late on a normal working day, it isnt a bank holiday today. Most folk have had to do a full day today.

Still, even closing early by closing at 3 would have been better.

People maybe didn't buy earlier because maybe they didn't know they'd be able to attend, people leave it this late for a number of reasons.

To be fair most people have had weeks to get tickets. The rest will have to turn up on the day or pre order in the morning.

Proves the level of interest is not there and we are not likely to get the fans back that we have lost over the last few years.

The interest, albeit different levels of interest, is there and the VSC and the club all already working to improve the conditions to recapture those that may not be as regular as they once were.

I believe we've bottomed out and we will build up the fanbase again providing people feel they getting value for money and a good experience when they attend. Obviously the performance on the pitch helps.

I'm hopeful that we'll get up to between 13000 & 14000 tomorrow
and it could be the highest attendance at the KM between the 2 clubs. A far cry from 8333 a couple of years back.

IMHO if folks can't buy their tickets (phone, internet, in person) in advance, then they must expect to queue at the TO on matchdays.  Isn't this what we always used to do, not so many years ago albeit at the turnstiles?  It's like anything, if you think it will be busy, turn up early!  You will still be able to phone for tickets before noon tomorrow and collect at the stadium, yes you may need to wait for an answer but would you prefer to be on the phone for 10-15 mins waiting  or standing in the cold and rain for possibly up to an hour?

And no, even if we only have 7-7,500 home fans tomorrow that is no disaster at all, just realistic this day and age.  I wish folks would stop worrying too much about the attendances (apart from the club itself) - if you go to the game, great, if you can't make it (like me) too bad.
