Have they fuck

I guess we could get closer if we looked at what Bradford City have done lately.24k people willing to go to every game
I guess another angle to my boring yarn is the view / desire that Frasers have of a packed stadium. They will probably have some interest in having a larger footfall being herded through whatever they build at the side or over the car parks (parking spaces below, stores above) (wouldn’t put it past them to stick a sports direct, flannels and whatever bike store they own at the back on the spare ground and just over the car parks and make the only way to parts of the ground or out of the car parks is through / past them). Maybe a rent deal that encourages / reduces costs / rebates per attendee is in mind.I guess we could get closer if we looked at what Bradford City have done lately.
£150 (I think - rushing to 190 next year?) season ticket for level 4 football. They get an average of 16000 plus now and they’ve got every factor against them:
-“Glamorous” Neighbour in Prem.
-Bradford Bulls and Leeds Rhinos get about 16000 attendees between them.
-Similar to us, a population made up of many people with less long term ties to the city. (Contrast to Ipswich and Sunderland who’s dad/grandad supported their club)
-Bradford PA used to be big so many
Bradford OG might not be natural City fans (smaller factor and BPA are only a couple of Divs below now)
I’m not suggesting for a second charging £150/£190 in Prem and I know our season tickets are quite cheap but 16000 fans at L4 is some going. If they rise and hold on to them and grow then that’ll be interesting. Maybe the low price point balances with merch and F&B sales.
On the flip, Bournemouth seem to do ok on 11k fans. A rich owner and a bit of luck means that huge TV money totally makes up for lack of feet in the ground.
The information you are quoting is 12 years out of date. The current population of Coventry alone is nearly the same as total that listed for the combined total of Coventry and Bedworth in 2011. It also excludes areas such as Binley Woods, Balsall Common and Kenilworth which are arguably nearly as connected to Coventry as Bedworth if you exclude Exhall.I am quoting conurbation sizes as these are a truer reflection of the size of a place than 'city' populations which are often meaningless as they are determined by artificial lines on a map drawn by civil servants. You acknowledge that but seem to have come up with your own system of determining the size of urban areas. I am simply using this definition: List of urban areas in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia when comparing Coventry to roughly equivalent urban areas by size.
...so how's sales for Sat?
Population density debate getting dull.
The 25 largest cities in the UK (and their investment strengths)
London is by some distance the largest city in the UK, but which others make up the top 25? And what kind of investment to they attract?www.investmentmonitor.ai
Sounds like you should be working for the club's Marketing Dept...A lot of my mates support Liverpool, United, or the other big teams in the Prem. We're all in our forties. I've taken most of them up on the boys ST when 17yr old is working or 10yr old has other plans (13yr old never misses a game!). Liverpool fan celebrated our 2nd goal against Sunderland like it was Mo Salah scoring against Utd. 1st time he'd seen City live for 8 years. He couldn't believe the atmosphere. Loved it and is going to the Hull game. Another Liverpool is going too based on what he's heard.
I will never stop trying to talk them coming up to the City...older they get, less time or want they have for travelling to their "so called" team!!!
My 2 older boys supported Utd up until 3 years ago....they're now City through and through! PUSB
Never give up on lapsed fans nor others who have Cov as their 2nd team. If we do hit playoffs, this year or next, encouraging them could mean additional fans for the foreseeable!
Inceisters population is almost identical to Coventrys. The article is incorrect.No way Leicester has a population that high
Hopefully a late flurry of walk ups on the daySnow chance of 24k tomorrow..
Fantasy. We have never got anywhere near that figure, and never will.Why would we sell 24k season tickets ? Based on what ?
If someone had said in 1993 when we sometimes played in front of 9k fans in the PL that we’d have 13.5k STHs in Div 2 in 2022 most would have scoffed. It’s a different world now.Fantasy. We have never got anywhere near that figure, and never will.
He couldn't do worse than the present department.IMOSounds like you should be working for the club's Marketing Dept...

Looks a lot less than Sunderland at the moment and they have also sold 500 less so far. 19.5 to 20K i reckon.Looks like it'll be similar to Sunderland.

Not all will turn up. In the early days, Wasps used to give tickets to my kid's school most weeks and only half would actually turn up unless it was against one of the bigger sides.That's excluding the 700 community tickets in block 27.
In reality there’s no uncertainty for the gameShame about the uncertainty with the weather. Probably putting a few off from committing to it.

Ah yep completely agreeI meant the weather and conditions in general.
Sure the game will go ahead but the cold & travel conditions will be a factor to some.

Quite frankly…..sadly yes."im not going to go the City match today because its a bit cold"
are there really people like this?
Why do you call people who can only get to a few games a season, and choose the bigger games, 'so-called fans'?Think Grendel is right, 4 or 5 k of so called fans, would only turn up for the glamour teams.
