Lookers_Carl Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I believe Burton have to agree to any price proposal too. We can't say "it's a tenner" without their agreement. Let's enjoy the FA Cup and not devalue it too much. (Should have been a C game though!) What o4u said. Isn't the split in gate receipts something like 40% us, 40% them, £20% FA?

Lookers_Carl Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) I'm guessing that Burton wanted Category B so I propose the club give anyone who attends a voucher, so if we do get a decent 3rd round tie they get priority or if we don't give them a discount for another game. I think that would work. It doesn't even need to be a voucher, could simply be a case of retaining your ticket stub? Would cost the club absolutely nothing too.

Lookers_Carl Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Didn't the club say that the main factor regarding the categorisation of games would be the number of away fans attending? As was said here, Burton will surely bring at least 500 or so??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 But then many fans can't afford away trips, full stop. True and some prefer to go on away trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but it certainly won't be the day out to the high-flying big-spending club we were in '02, just a run of the mill away cup-tie to a team slightly above them with an inferior ground….so unlike last time where they brought at least 1500...

I still say Ronnie would have not made the mistakes Shez made in 06/07 and he would have finished the job he started…instead we pandered to the :censored:-outs that still don't attend today….but get a settled team and a goalscorer and you have a chance in this leaguer, although it has been dominated by bigger clubs over the last few years Watford Bristol City Grimsby Town Fulham Walsall Man City PNE Burnley Gillingham Millwall Rotherham Walsall Brighton Reading Stoke Wigan Crewe Cardiff Plymouth QPR Brighton Luton Hull Sheff Wed Southend Colchester Barnsley Scunthorpe Bristol City Blackpool Swansea Doncaster Leicester Peterborough Scunthorpe Norwich Leeds Millwall Brighton Southampton Peterborough Teams promoted since we came into this league…surely we'll get a turn……eventually….

I think I'd have stopped my season ticket & picked the odd game here & there if the prospect was another season of neck-ache…….. Success at the expense of entertainment. Ronnie just may; just have got us up - but it would have been truly awful to watch. Now, if we could have kept Dowie & his squad together - now that's a different story. That was entertainment………..

Maybe, the fact we only won one home league game at home between beating Stockport 2-0 on November 2nd and Beating Colchester 2-0 on March 8th didn't help either….Pogs' injury papered over Dowie's inability to replicate the away form at home….that's why it was such a monumental dropped bollock when he played that weakened team at Hudds and cost us the away the leg first…instead we played at home first and were up against it in the 2nd Leg...

I went to 50 games that season and the odd home game apart, the highlights were the backs to the wall away performances like Plymouth (2 down in 7 minutes), Swindon (ten men) yet won, West Ham, Derby, Wycombe (ten men again) etc… Mansfield - The Clyde show was good as were the two consecutive four nillers around Easter, the rest of it was pretty :censored:e AT HOME….we drew far too many games at Home and it cost us promotion simples.

opinions4u Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 the rest of it was pretty :censored:e AT HOME I've not checked the stats, but I suspect our home record for the past few seasons is poorer than it should be for the position we finish the league in. Gut feeling only. But if our percentage of points gained at home is lower than most other teams it would partially explain crowd drops.

Gut feeling only. But if our percentage of points gained at home is lower than most other teams it would partially explain crowd drops. I've based the following stats on Calendar years, rather than season by season - All the seasons have began merging into one now..certainly over the last five years or so…. CALENDAR YEAR WINS: 1998 League 6 Cup 2 Total 8 1999 League 8 Cup 2 Total 10 2000 League 10 Cup 1 Total 11 2001 League 13 Cup 1 Total 14 2002 League 13 Cup 1 Total 14 2003 League 10 Cup 1 Total 11 2004 League 11 Cup 4 Total 15 2005 League 10 Cup 2 Total 12 2006 League 13 Cup 0 Total 13 2007 League 7 Cup 2 Total 9 2008 League 14 Cup 0 Total 14 2009 League 6 Cup 0 Total 6 2010 League 8 Cup 0 Total 8 2011 League6 Cup 0 Total 6 (still minimum of 7 home games left in 2011) So the bit in bold, that the reason why crowds have declined so alarmingly? If I added in how many league and cup goals we scored in those calendar years, then I reckon the trend would be similar...

Our away record was feckin' awesome and it was criminal we didn't go up! Yep, really. IMO the football that was played that season was a lot higher in standard than I'd seen for a good few years. Obviously it was coming off the back of Sharp, Warnock, Ritchie & his kids, Wadsworth…..but; yeah - I was entertained. Dowie's sides played some good stuff. Watching a Dowie side or a Ronnie Moore side; I know which one I'd pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching a Dowie side or a Ronnie Moore side; I know which one I'd pick. Ditto, ditto, and ditto. Also first time in ages I remember us being a physical side as well - I felt the majority of the team, the majority of the time, would have run through brick walls for each other. I always felt confident we'd win - the only season I have felt like that supporting Latics (I missed out on Littlewoods Cup run and Promotion season ).

Ronnie's football was awful, although we may have spent a season or so "hoofing it" in The Championship it was :censored: to watch. Talbot's team was better to watch than Ronnie's!
