Pompey v Bolton Ticket News...

**StuRomseySaint** · 08-09-2009, 07:13 PM

... after giving away over 1000 tickets to local schools ( massive LOL ) , there are still over 4,500 ( FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED ) tickets left for Saturdays game against Bolton.

Now, let's not forget that it is also 'kids for a quid' promotion is also on for this game.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRDEEEE HAAAA!!!

Ooooh, rallying cry from Peter Storrie can be found here...

Wow, we are still outselling pompey, even in league 1.

**Yate Saint** · 08-09-2009, 07:42 PM

They are great fans. Pah.

**NickG** · 08-09-2009, 07:59 PM

it is well known they have very poor support - lacking in numbers.

I lol'ed in lead up to cup final when radio solent interviewed someone who had to queue from 6 in morning to get ticket!

**IFHP** · 08-09-2009, 08:28 PM

They have also cut ticket prices for 8 other games.....

Can't even fill their shack with kids for a quid!

I wonder what excuse the blue few will come up with this time.

Not only that, but they had to give away 1000 tickets to boost the numbers!

Now for the maths.

20k capacity

1500 tickets to Bolton

1000 tickets to schoolkids

4500 tickets still left

by my maths, that means even not including the kids for a quid, they have sold 13000 tickets for this game.

Would love to hear Crap Ho view on this!

How many of those 13k are STs and therefore counted automatically?

id have thought he would have been the 1st to comment on a port*muff attendance thread!

**rocknrollman no2** · 08-09-2009, 08:51 PM

Ha Ha HA!!!
I wonder where all those "Loyal and have been a fan for years" Pompey supporters who went to the FA Cup final are now?

**Colinjb** · 08-09-2009, 09:38 PM

Sh*t club with no real sizable fan element, always has been, always will be.

Why waste the resources on a 40k or so stadium down there when they can't even get behind their team in their time of need.

A total joke.

**Ponty** · 08-09-2009, 10:09 PM

So... 16k for us at the weekend then?

**Spudgun** · 08-09-2009, 10:33 PM

I like the fact that their offical site still shows last years table!

**chocco boxo** · 09-09-2009, 04:15 AM

657 will soon be their average home gate?

**OldNick** · 09-09-2009, 08:12 AM

Storrie must be wrong as Ho assured us his mate at the club had told him that they were going to exceed the 13500 s/ts last season and were expecting 16k this season.
Storrie can't be right and Ho wrong.My figure of 9800 s/t may just be right Eh Ho?

**warsash saint** · 09-09-2009, 08:35 AM

The lack of the blue few on this thread seems to mirror the numbers in Fartton Park

**redkeith** · 09-09-2009, 09:06 AM

I have just seen someone on the BBC boards say that the reason that they can't sell all the tickets is because the ground is too small after it went all seater.

I know that some people stopped trying to get tickets at the Dell because it got too difficult, but not 4,000 of 'em.

His arguement was that they used to get 25K in the 3rd division years ago. I prefer to think that if you mapped the attendance against the position in whichever league they are in, you would see the trend. 8-10 K core support and the rest only come if they are winning.

1982, last time skates were as low as us, in 3rd division - they averaged...............

.....8,500!

their best average in last 50 years was in 1968 with 22,000.

They are both small in numbers and deluded!

by the way their average most years in CCC or equiv (div 2) was about 8,000.

He also said that they were going to sell 17,000 season tickets. As CoHo has said this it must be true. Therefore they can't have 4,500 tickets left. Its just not possible.

**Mase** · 09-09-2009, 06:20 PM

This is shockingly bad, even for Poopey.

**sotonjoe** · 09-09-2009, 11:10 PM

Shouldn't stu be selling personal trainer sessions or something?

**View From The Top** · 11-09-2009, 02:02 PM

They'll sell out f'sure once word of the Danny Webber signing spreads.

**Dimond Geezer** · 11-09-2009, 02:08 PM

I posted this elsewhere earlier, I thought I'd move it to the right place now:

I assumed all the 'die-hards' would already have their tickets. :badgrin:

**Crab Lungs** · 12-09-2009, 02:32 PM

They are so ****ing funny, it's great that even though we're minus 6 in L1, we still laugh our tits off at them.

Big club..... hahahaha

It's gone VERY QUIET round here, hasn't it?

Minus 5

**scott_saints** · 12-09-2009, 04:07 PM

lol@pompey

going down.

**J Bizzle** · 12-09-2009, 04:12 PM

only sold 17,500 with 3,000 odd Bolton fans, kid for a quid, and giving away 1000 tickets. Without the promotions would probably have been 14,500-15,000.

Idoubt there was that many but still only 17,500

**RedArmy** · 12-09-2009, 04:47 PM

LOL.

"pointless"

pointless and yet simultaneously 5 points ahead of us

**Big John** · 12-09-2009, 05:23 PM

I would love to get them in the cup, I really would. Home or away, I think that they would crumble.

**View From The Top** · 12-09-2009, 05:29 PM

So let's get this right.

Our South Coast mega European giant neighbours, who are on the verge of signing half of the Argie national team to play alongside the goalscoring legend, Danny Webber, gave 1000 tickets away, charged kids for a quid, managed a crowd of 17500?

I can see why Barca are quaking in their boots.

**sotonjoe** · 12-09-2009, 05:30 PM

incidentally, anyone have an accurate idea of how many bolton sold?

The 3000 touted by the racist further up the page seems a little exaggerated to me.

I reckon no more than 5-600, Boltons support is as bad as the Skates.

yeh, that's unfortunately probably about right; 1000 if we 're lucky!
