This is getting serious now and our numbers are not good.
Oxfordshire expects more from the Reds. >:(

If everyone bought one plastic with them, we'd sell out easy.

We will probably take 32,000-33,000. Oxford only took so many as their tickets were a lot cheaper otherwise they wouldn't even have taken 25,000.

We have crap support.

What's not good about 30k? We are a L1 side that's been shit for 15 years.

i think 30,000 is bloody good considering our average attendance was around 8,000 this season.

Less than Oxford...

Have we broke the 30k mark yet?

Yesterday's figure was 28k and something?

Most people are bringing more than one plastic anyway!
Truth of the matter is we are a family club mainly and families have been priced out.

who gives a toss about how many dribbling spastic yellow cunts went to wembley for the sunday league play-off final against some northern whippets?

Me

I have a lot of time for this comment!

Would we have sold more if we were playing Huddersfield?  :sherlock:

We're a small club. 30,000+ would be incredible.

Heh! heh!





dribbling spastic yellow cunts 8)

Top swearing Malcolm.

Shit, I forgot to buy a ticket. How can I get one?

Just buy some more fucking tickets then you cunt and stop moaning.

Knowing some of the lads that are comming, I am amazed we have got as many as we have. A lot of these are lads that dont really support Swindon and are getting right in the mood for it. Millwall has put off quite a few fammily fans, and I rekon our support will be quality.

The tickets are very expensive and weve done pretty well.

A real dissapointment was not selling out the home game against Charlton.

There's definitely alot of fresh blood. I'd say 50% of my friends had never watched Swindon prior to 5 years ago. I also know of at least 2 people that seem likely to buy season tickets next season and have seen less than 5 swindon games in their lives.

I think 30k is good looking at average attendances and the way we've been put through the mill over the years.

haha nicely put!!

We get gates of 8-8500, Pox get gates of, what, 6000. The rest is just about how many day trippers they can rustle up. So, ooh, whoop-de-do with their tickets half the cost of ours and without the deterrent of a club with a bad reputation as opposition to put off the family day trippers, they might manage to find a couple of thousand more "never really been to football, not likely to go again but swept up in the enthusiasm for a family day out" than we do. Hardly a massive achievement and says little to fuck all about the relative status of either club.

I take offence at calling them cunts. Cunts are useful.

Jamie Oliver is a cunt though, he isn't.

Yes. A pukka one.

I'm suprised so many of us know how many tickets oxford sold and at what price to be honest.  I wouldn't even be able to tell you what the attendance was for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final, and that's a much bigger occasion on the footballing calendar.

Should have give season tickets an unlimited purchase. (Same for Oxford).
Given additional time I reckon I could have sold a few more to some plastics.

Oxford sold around 32,000 for the record I believe. We must match at least.

Sorry it does matter. Where has the hatred gone.....mellowed after too many years apart. :cunt:

Haven't they only been to Wembley once before?

Why? To prove we've got as many plastic fans who will turn up for a big day out but can't be arsed to attend League matches as they have? To be honest, I think the gap between League gates and day trippers is more of an embarrassment for both clubs. And Millwall, come to that.

The hatred is still there but I couldn't give a fuck how many they took. So, they've got 32,000 "dribbling spastic yellow cunts" - so what. We're taking 30,000 class people, supporting a class team, with a class board and a class manager and a class backroom team. In my opinion thats better than watching a club who employs racist and paedophile managers, where players kill people and shove bananas up each others rectums.

six tickets per season ticket wasn't enough?

i think we had the same policy for ST holders, when they went on general sale if you wanted to book more than 6 there was a certain number to call

I don't really care what Oxford did

Who cares!,im going to have a great day and im really looking forward to it and im really enjoying the buzz around Swindon and people who dont really care taking a little bit of on interest.

Its all positive as far as I can see and I dont understand why everone wants to be on a downer about little stuff.Im off to buy a Red and White Wig and giant foam hand....

A red and white wig would suit you Yeo...

Oxford sold 33,000 according to Wembley site. Personally I wouldn't really care if we sold fewer tickets if by 4:45pm Saturday we still remained 2 leagues above them.

As long as we win I don't care how many we take, Pox could have sold out Wembley for all I care, I think there are enough plastics from Swindon going and considering the price of tickets I think 29-30,000 will be a good attendance, I'm sure we would have sold a few more with cheaper tickets, and we have to remember that people don't have as much spare cash as they used to they are being prudent on what they spend it on and cannot justify £200+ for a day trip to wembley for the family anymore

So what if Oxford sold a few more tickets for their game?  30,000 is a cracking attendance figure that shows we have a huge potential support out there.  Not that it matters, but if ticket prices were capped at £40 for our game as well I'm sure we would have sold the entire allocation.  Given the cost of the tickets, I think we have done brilliantly to sell so many.  I think there will be just about enough there for an atmosphere.

Thanks for the facts today...............life now in Oxon has become a little brighter.

Even if the natives haven't :)

just wondered if they may be doing the same for you, if the duke of banbury still wanted to bulk buy

But the real question is: How many Norwegians came over for the pox?

Millwall still have just under 4000 left to shift according to independant Lions forum...they may not completly sell out.
Shows we are holding our own really bearing in mind there average crowd and the fact the have hardly traveling expenses compared to Town fans.

That's why we need to turn up in vast numbers.

It's a bloody home game for the London teams.

Anyone know what time the stfc ticket office opens tomorrow ?

31,223 sold so far, not bad with 1 day sales left, we may break 32,000 hopefully by close of play tomorrow.

That really isn't bad considering Cardiff took around 36,000 and Blackpool around 34,000 last week for the Championship play off.

And Millwall have sold around 35,500 and thats a local game for them.

Doesn't say...but they will stop selling the tickets at noon tomorrow.

I think that figure was first thing this morning so with a bit a luck we can reach 32,000 - as you say a great turnout really all things considered.

Well hopefully this will stop people complaining about ticket sales so we can focus on what's really important - complaining about the colour of the shirts ;)

if we shift a few more,so what?
millwall were always going to shift a few more than us.it's not by many and it matters not.a 30,000+ turnout from us is good enough.
fuck milwall and fuck oxford!

managed to get a few more mates to come were off in a group of 12, 8 of them have only been to one swindon game before the rest including me have been going for 17 years.

also my boss at work who is a scouser has bought a box and is taking his family of 20!!!! :cunt:

Great support - 32,000 with a few more in Corporate etc. Great Turnout.
