Attendances were great in the 87-88 season 17.5k, with the biggest crowd of the season being over 27k (which was pretty much all HR could hold by then)I know it didn't last but surely we had more ST holders for the 1987/88 season than the 12,500 quoted as being the largest sometime in the late 1960's?
We did 13.5k last year didn’t we?According to Jim Brown forgetting last season where there was a lot of cheap kids tickets our largest ever ST total was just over 12500 in the late 60s going to easily pass that.

Keep in mind this was an era when the likes of Arsenal couldn't even get above 30k

As simple as they intended to but now they can’t mmmCan we ask why they said it would please.
We did, but a lot were very cheap kids tickets my 8 year old grandson was £20 it’s now £125, still decent.We did 13.5k last year didn’t we?

I guess the kids are hooked by now? £125 is probably food value. It gets the kids out, pulls them away from the latest gadgets etc and is a great family thing to do.We did, but a lot were very cheap kids tickets my 8 year old grandson was £20 it’s now £125, still decent.
First game of the 87/88 season arsenal got 55,000
Weren't Wolves crowds low because they had an issue with a couple of stands & couldn't use them? I remember they played a game and the manager at the time, Graham Turner, was the only person in 1 of the stands.Crowds generally pretty woeful back then. Wolves averaged 4K for a season around that time with gates at Molineux of around 2500 on occasion.
Finally had a reply to my email today, after I sent it last Monday! What I still don’t understand is why the system wouldn’t let me buy the tickets in the basket last Tuesday, I’ve been buying online for more than 10 years for our network. It gave all these new feckers the chance over me?Horses mouth confirmation family zone won’t be extended

He's right. They did sell season tickets for the next season to guarantee a Cup Final ticket.Not saying you are definitely wrong as it was a long time ago now but I don't remember it like that. As I remember, sales priority to those that were not existing season ticket holders were based mostly on ticket stubs and not on future season ticket sales, as I'm sure they would have shifted a lot more season tickets in 87/88 otherwise. In the end the sale of tickets for the cup final was absolutely chaotic, much more so than for this years play offs for example.
As a club we have also never really had a great season ticket uptake in relation to clubs traditionally compared as having similar standing to us, so it is great to see ever greater numbers committing to supporting the club in this way.
Yep… first year I had one. Bought it to guarantee the cup ticket.He's right. They did sell season tickets for the next season to guarantee a Cup Final ticket.
It was a season ticket that not only guaranteed a cup final ticket but also included the last 3 home games of the 86/87 season.Yep… first year I had one. Bought it to guarantee the cup ticket.

Couldn’t agree more and have said soSo they need to get Doug back on the radio and asked him why he said it then? If things changed then why not communicate it?

Where has anything been said otherwise since?Wasn’t that said when it was the initial pricing?
The obvious explanation is because he didnt expect so many people to take up the offer. Now he isnt going to sell more cheap tickets in standard zones is he? Fans cant all expect to get cheap prices and then cry because the squad isnt getting strengthened.So they need to get Doug back on the radio and asked him why he said it then?

I got one too. The Cup final season was the first season I hadn't had a season ticket as I had just moved to London and thought I might not go so often. As it happened I only missed one match all season.He's right. They did sell season tickets for the next season to guarantee a Cup Final ticket.
Why say it then? He seemed willing at the time to make that whole stand family zone. They can't do that now, but there is a corner where they could create a second family area.The obvious explanation is because he didnt expect so many people to take up the offer.

Yes I was right - Before Gren chimed inHe's right. They did sell season tickets for the next season to guarantee a Cup Final ticket.
Exactly that Nick, never said first come, first served. I couldn’t have got on any quicker than Tuesday morning, fully expecting they would go into block 30 if needed ( it obviously is).It's not about price, it's about communication.
He should have said there's xxxx available, get yours now.
Last he had said is that he's willing to throw loads of seats at the family zone to make it the place to be.
He's gone quiet since he used the hype to stroke his ego in that video.
There is I hope they re-think that.Why say it then? He seemed willing at the time to make that whole stand family zone. They can't do that now, but there is a corner where they could create a second family area.
Said that too but not gonna happenWhy say it then? He seemed willing at the time to make that whole stand family zone. They can't do that now, but there is a corner where they could create a second family area.
