Crowd Sunday?

[Ian Royal]

Wel, I just tried to buy a ticket and got what looked like literally the last one available in Y25, with none available in most of the rest of the East or West...

Didn't think about where the presentation would be foolishly. Still it's only a quid so if my family wants to come I'd quite happily pay on the day and go elsewhere and just lose the quid...

How many STHs do we have? Do you have to book a seat even though it's free if you have a ST, or do you just turn up?

When we lifted the trophy before, it was facing the West Stand, and I imagine it will be again. We've gambled as such and given up our seats in Y26 for Upper West anyway.

STH's had the ticket loaded straight onto their cards without requesting it, so a lot of seats that show sold wont actually be. It depends who turns up on the day.

Ahh yes... 15,000 sounds a bit pathetic when you consider it includes all STHs of which about half certainly won't turn up... I'd say 10k is going to be a bit optimistic.

[Friday's Legacy]

It all depends on the weather in my opinion. There is a weather warning for the South East for Sunday, so if it absolutely lashes it down, many will head to the stadium instead and watch the presentation from under the comfort of a roof. That will boost numbers. Otherwise I will be surprised if we top 10k.

[ReadingJim]

Is there any published schedule for the day anywhere? Tickets say starts at 12:30 and I heard there will be a U16 match but no idea about timings for this or the presentation etc... Anyone?

[AthleticoSpizz]

guestimate nothing of any importance before 14.45

Presentation stated as being 15.00

Last time (that sounds soooo nice) they were running well late

Latest weather forecast on BBC shows the rain clearing at around 1pm.

Hope they have got this right!!

- The trophy presentation will take place on the edge of the centre circle, facing the west stands.

Gamble of moving to upper west paid off.

I'm pretty sure they would take that into account when they said they are expecting 15000.

Unlikely! Don't know where they get their weather forecasts from nowadays (perhaps they consult with local farmers!) but the Met Office are still forecasting very heavy rain right through to 4.00pm!

[Friday's Legacy]

I'm not too optimistic. All you can be sure of is it should be in showers, and hope for a break in the rain when we're out there and then bus it to the stadium.

[M-U-R-T-Y]

Pff, the Met Office is just trying to rain on our parade.

Poor turnout for Murtys testimonial and expect a poor turnout inside the ground for this.

[AthleticoSpizz]

^ agree very very disappointing

Didn't help (those of us that were there) that the pre-match presentations were conducted facing the West Stand, whilst the majority of folk (those that bothered to turn up) were sat in the East Stand....the East Stand tannoys were not working incidently.

A disgrace that so few turned up, a disgrace that noboby in the Eaststand had a clue what was going on pre-kick-off.

Fun and games during the match tho'...was nice to see Sidds and Shorey again

This. I am staying at home. F**k going to that kind if mongfest

[Ian Royal]

surprisingly good turnout given the weather. And really pleased to see it held off for the actual presentation.

[Stooper]

Bit pissed off that I rocked up to the ticket office and asked for Upper West. Was told I could have B18 or South Stand as everywhere else was sold out.

[Maguire]

Why is it a "disgrace"?

I'm sure you could easily have walked round to the West, if not been able to get up into the U. West.... The stewarding seemed pretty relaxed.

If being presented with the Championship trophy and some players being presented with the first medal they have won in long and distinguished careers can be accurately described as a mongfest, then you must have a chat with Harte/Roberts/MacAnuff etc the next time you run into them to see if they agree.
