oafckev Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 How many times since Premiership day's have we actually sold out the full allocation given to us? I remember Man City, Everton and Blackpool off the top of my head. Was Dale this year officially sold out? I know we've nearly sold out a few times but have we done many sell outs?

Tommy_Fent Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Chelsea in the FA Cup in 1999, and Hartlepool away in 2003/04 were games where I was unable to get a ticket due to us selling them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markoasis Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Scunny, Stockport, Wolves, QPR ....... to name a few. Happens more oftern than you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sheridans_world Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Yea definatley scunthorpe. If we didnt sell Brentford out when the stewards finally cut the tape around those seats then I'm suprised, it finished 2-2 the game where Leon (30 stone) Clarke was crap and very nearly missed a penalty.

I don't think we have ever sold out Hartlepool (closest we got was probably this year's effort). Man City in the cup was like Chelsea but there were a few spare seats knocking about (and a few City fans in the home ends). Scunny I think was a sell out, but not Wolves (was a few spare seats near me and a bunch in a corner somewhere, I think). However, just because there are some spare seats doesn't mean its a sell-out (people don't turn up etc.), but for us to legitimately sell out for a standard league game I think you are Scunny, and then the games we had against City (when they were in League 1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapegoat Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Home game rather than away, and I think its stretching the term 'sold out' as that indicates buying tickets, but Celebration Sunday with a 6-0 thumping of Grimsby and a young lad Adam Griffith bagging an overhead kick IIRC.

OldhamSheridan Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Scunny we did. Blackpool we kind of did. Some were returned (not sure if they went - think they did, but by then it was sadly too late). QPR didn't. We have got nowhere near selling out Hartlepool away. Next one beyond that Grimsby, but as mentioned that is a crock of *&&^%. Then it is back to the gloryfan days by my reckoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daznathe Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 wolves did sell out, so did blackpool, as i know people who missed out. i remember having no sympathy as they had plenty of time to buy, now im on the flipside of that coin. bury away they had to put oldham in a quarter of the main stand as the away end was full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellys_discopants Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Did we not sell Wigan out, well what they gave us? When Wayno scored in like 12 seconds? I remember us taking something like 4000 but dont know if we sold it out or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Grimsby 97/98 ? I'm not sure about being sold out but we certainly took more than they thought we would take. I remember Grimsby fans being moved from their seats to accommodate us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Technically I suppose Walsall a couple of years ago – they seemed to have only expected about 17 of us, although all they had to do was move the tape back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Chasetown, Burton Albion and King's Lynn away were possibly sell-outs. Nah, we didn't take many to Kings Lynn. The coppers certainly outnumbered us by at least 10 to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleetwood Blue Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 We definately sold our allocation for the Wigan game a few seasons back, i think we scored after about 15 seconds that day but did nothing else for the rest of the game. Was it also the day the plastic latic's got promoted as i remember all there hard cases (10 year olds) running on to the pitch and trying to wind us up, very funny.

Tommy_Fent Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 we filled up what was allocated by meshing, but that stand holds about 8,000, I was right at the front so got most of the abuse from their numpties, which was a considerable number than average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I dont know about selling out but that game 2 seasons ago at Huddersfield it was very difficult to get a seat Rubbish Tommy, there were 1200 spare seats in our stand that game. I worked it out at the time they announced the attendance. Incidentally, we got there late and squeezed in right at the very front, on the side...

I got squeezed in to the bottom corner and there were empty seats around me, but it took a bloody long time to find them because they put meshing over one section of seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spadam Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I think with the Chelsea game that time, we sold out the home end (thanks to the daytrippers I failed to get a ticket) but the away end wasnt sold out. I dont know about selling out but that game 2 seasons ago at Huddersfield it was very difficult to get a seat Remember that Huddersfield game. I had to share a seat we won 3-0 if am correct.

Yard Dog Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Was Stockport away 03 (Eyresy last minute) not a sell out ? We had 3,000 there that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 We did not sell out at Burton away was live on Sky. Sometimes we can sell our allocation but it does not mean the entire stand has been given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes we can sell our allocation but it does not mean the entire stand has been given. We've been very lucky in that whenever tickets have been seriously limited (i.e. a few hundred) the match has been televised. I remember Burton as being one I was worried about getting a ticket for. I had one for the home end as soon as they went on sale but obviously wanted to be in the away end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
