spadam Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) I do, but I can't. Surely it's better that Leeds bring more? More money in the coffers for us. you make it sound like a good thing that we have small crowds. Fair enough they have good support but we should be getting more than 4 and half thousand at home to Leeds.

Zorrro Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 you make it sound like a good thing that we have small crowds. No, I don't. For once I was looking for a positive point, instead of being my usual pessimistic self. I feel quite vindicated now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie For England Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 that's the sprit At least i do have a season ticket. So no matter what i think or fear about a game i WILL be there at every home game, unlike a lot of people. I'm sure i'm not the only one fearing the worst anyway.

I know, terrible - even a donkeys arse could knock in seven against that bunch of sheep fiddlers. Or will we still talking about the irrelevant level of crowds?

We may just nick it with a 95th minute Gregan overhead kick and while it'll look good on tv from the comfort of your own home with your £20 in your pocket...you'll never get the feeling of "being in the moment!" or be able to pass it down to your little'ones that you were there that legendary day!

tangerinedreams Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) I've not seen the Kettering V Leeds game but head the result - so a its was draw and kettering scored first eh. I don't think they are that good, so here's my thoughts: They are going to get their arses kicked by the management and give us a good thashing or, they are there for the taking, hope Beckford brings his little black mittens with him too. I can't wait to be honest. Bring it on....."oh when the Bluuueeeeeeeeeessssssssssssss...." See you at the game OOhhphh!!!!!!!!!...the joy of sharing laptops with you ball and chaing and not logging out...this post should be me - Underdog an not Tangerine dreams...

Rick Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 We've just come back from BP after exchanging our tickets from the RRE to Chaddy for Tuesdays game. Tangerine dreams asked the lady in the office how the Leeds tickets for them have sold - 4,283 away fans are going to decend on BP on Tuesday. YES YOU HEARD 4,283..... Somehow, I don't think we're going to match that target. So, a plea, if you were thinking of giving it a miss or just umming and arring, please get yourself down to BP if you can. Beg, plead, borrow and sell your soul if you have to. Get some dosh - early Chrimbo pressie maybe off your folks, wife, kids Your team needs you.....and my voice is not going to last all game. I've got a Season Ticket (have had for many a long year) and I am not going. I am not going to ANY home match (league or cup (what a joke - cup)) where they would rather take the money offered by visiting supporters over letting me sit in the stand where I bought my Season Ticket for. They should put up temporary, uncovered seating in the Lookers Paddock (a la Blackpool) and stick away fans in there. I reckon there will be less than 2,000 Latics fans there - so you'll be outnumbered 2 to 1. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, but we knew that when we bought ST for the RRE Yeah, stick up some temporary seating in the Lookers Paddock (like at Blackpool) for the away fans and let the loyal Latics fans sit in the best stand we have left. Alternatively, let me buy a Season Ticket for my son on the terms of the Boundary Blues deal in the Main Stand and don't restrict it to Chaddy or RRE. As for Tuesday, no there is nothing that can change my mind. It is a point of principle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics and England Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I've got a Season Ticket (have had for many a long year) and I am not going.

They should put up temporary, uncovered seating in the Lookers Paddock (a la Blackpool) and stick away fans in there. I reckon there will be less than 2,000 Latics fans there - so you'll be outnumbered 2 to 1. Enjoy. I am annoyed that i can't sit in my seat on Tuesday night. I enjoy it in the RRE. That said, I knew full well when I bought my season ticket that I was highly unlikely to sit in there for the Leeds or Huddersfield games. The unfortunate position is that Leeds can fill more than the large section of the RRE and we will have enough seats in the rest of the ground to accommodate all the home fans. Financially, there is no alternative to what is happening. We have got to maximise revenue opportunities. As for the suggestion of temporary seating - Why on earth would we pay to put up a temporary stand when there are already enough seats for what we require? We also need to remember that the RRE used to be away supporters only for most games. We asked to be allowed to buy season tickets in there and the club agreed. I'm happier being able to sit in there 20 games a season than none. For what it's worth, I reckon we have got a decent chance on Tuesday. Leeds were slightly the better team in the cup game but there wasn't much in it (certainly in the first half) and after today's cup draw, I think a few of their players may well not have Tuesday's game at the forefront of their minds.

JoeLatics Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 It can't be that much to bring in a temporary stand for the "big" games, surely? By only using it for big games, the club ensure that it pays for itself, as well as giving us an advantage on the field, as we'd be kicking toward our fans in both halves!
