The safety group will find a way of stopping more. Same with Wrexham, we've lost 2000 tickets sold because they are desperate to have 3 blocks of segregation.

Birmingham and Sunderland would also sell 6k if given like the old days.

We had 6k+ from West Ham and Leeds before. What's changed?

While I acknowledge segregation is excessive, why are people so keen to give massive allocations? 4000 is plenty. We're not MK Dons. There are clubs in this league with half empty stadiums that don't give more that 2K because they don't have to and don't want to. We'll get 2.5K at WBA and there will be 1000s of empty seats.

Surprised Albion have sold 4K tbh. Some of their away followings this season have been shocking.

We've just released another 500 tickets to them, so that would be 4,500 if they are snapped up !

Because it would mean more money and reduce the chance of their supporters going into other parts of the ground. I just don't understand this idea of having a big stadium and then limiting capacity so that people who want to go to a match can't. I can't think of any other business that would do this.

Football does have tribalism and a potential for trouble if fans mix (Personally I can't understand why everyone can't just tolerate the presence of opposition fans and just enjoy the game).

I can't see a BTS gig needing a segregated zone for 1D fans.

Because it is tinpot. The same applies to Stoke, Albion, Blues, Middlesbrough, Sunderland and many other clubs that are turning away money, it's about striking a balance between revenues and not giving visiting teams a competitive advantage. If it was that much of a no-brainer pretty much every club in the Championship would make their away end bigger because most grounds are half empty. It's not just about revenues, it also logistics, security etc.

4-4.5K is generous enough.

At £33 it's a big income. Most will have a pint or two as well.

Agreed with the suprise. I've seen some woeful numbers from them this season.

So so annoying we were meant to play these when they had a dinosaur in the dug out as opposed to now when they are riding the crest of a wave

That being said, they’re due a loss - No reason we can’t turn them over them if we play like we did for the first hour or so on Saturday

Ticket sales are much better than Swansea in the home ends. Will be a good 23k there I think.

I'm buzzing for it. Off work. On the beers early. Many others will be the same. Weather better too.

Really tough game with the form baggies are In 4500 travelling fans backing them, but this is the championship we've proven we can match most in this division so no reason why we can't get the win but would take a point if offered right Now.
Ticket sales looking good given the price and week leading up to Xmas

Really struggling to call this one after Saturday. We should arguably be 6 points better off from the previous two, I just hope that we don’t change our approach, or nervousness creeps into our game. The defence’s confidence may well be shot to pieces after a 20 minute capitulation but that being said we can always mix it with the big boys and who’d bet against us turning them over despite their hot streak. 2-2 with Hamer and Doyle on the scoresheet.

West Brom have sold their extra 500. Sales looking good in the home ends.

Let's hope we can continue to sell well overnight. Can't beat football under the lights.

After dropping two points at the weekend we ideally need a win. Otherwise that's 2 point from 9 with Sheffield utd away where I assume you (and i btw) would 'take a point' to then make it 3 from 12.

All the above form does is put pressure on us to win the so called easier games which never really consistently happens.
