When the Allams finally do 'do one', I know I'll be at that first game. It will be a celebration and a cleansing of all the **** they've thrown our way over the last '24 Hours', it'll be party time But how many of us boycotting, will return every week? I always said I'll order my season pass on the day of the great announcement, but it's been four years now and I've never been one for away games, I usually did three or four a season. My question isn't only for boycotters. People will have stopped going for all number of reasons. Complete distaste for the way football as a whole has gone for instance. So... Will you return? Will your friends or family? I should've called this thread, So What's the Damage?
I'll aim to get to the first game but realistically I'm not doing a 7hr round trip every other week. I'll buy a shirt for the first time in the best part of a decade though.
I will absolutely be getting that season ticket back. Saturdays have been **** without City, no matter how bad they play.
Very similar with me Kemps. I'll almost certainly be at that first game. I now doubt I'll ever return to attending like before (pretty much every home game and the occasional away). 3 or 4 regulars lost. I'll probably be very selective; I no longer have the urge I used to have come Saturday's (or Tuesday nights). Who knows, with the right owners the urge might return, but the fact is the habit has been broken. I expect there are many thousands in the same/ similar boat.
I've arranged to meet up with some people I have known decades when the Allams go. Those of who will be still alive tuen of course.Some of them didn't miss a home match during all the crap years and went to virtually every home game. One kept renewing his season pass during the 7 years he worked abroad but after 2 seasons back home let it go and hasn't been for two seasons. They still go to the majority of away matches. However, though some will return to going every week not all of them are sure they will. It is like any addiction, smoking, drinking...once you've broken the habit the pull isn't there any longer.
Will be interesting to compare to the previous home attendance. Read there were decent sized queues for tickets.
It's Southend and Blackpool Panthers are not playing Lytham Lions in the Challenge Cup final at Wembley so no excuses, expecting a sell out.
The attendance at their last game was 4,003 and they’ve already sold over 13,000 tickets for Saturday.
I'll definitely be getting my season pass sorted once they've buggered off. I do fear though too much time has passed and many won't bother.
I'll be going to the first game then probably half a dozen or so home games a year. At the moment I just don't have the love for the game that I did before, I'm hoping that the love will come back
That's ****ing brilliant and I believe there will be a single similar reaction here in Hull. Hopefully an even bigger reaction. We go to that game (We'll lose of course), but then we go down the pubs and dance on the Allams grave
Around 9,000 more at Blackpool than the previous regime's home game, I'm of the opinion ours will be around the 900 mark, if that. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Given Bloomfield Road capacity is 17.3k, that’s well in the way to a sell out home crowd. Good on’em, hope they have a bloody great party.
Too right, TwoWrights (parp!) A lot of drama queens are in for a reality cheque when the Allams go and the new owners are of a similar disappointing nature. History and a look around this division do not inspire optimism,
