Not anymore, it's done on tickets sold these days.

Significant alterations to the plans after they had been signed off, most likely.

Normal (i.e. non-corporate) matchday sales to home fans, in descending order, with total attendance in brackets, with 20,415 season ticket holders: Hull City 7,414 (30,022) Newcastle 7,400 (31,360) Manchester City 7,007 (31,229) Liverpool 6,417 (31,659) Tottenham 6,409 (31,455) Chelsea 6,392 (31,271) Arsenal 6,167 (31,284) Crystal Palace 6,137 (30,699) Fulham 6,105 (28,631) Norwich 6,092 (29,828 ) Aston Villa 6,004 (29,814) Swansea 5,654 (28,570) Stoke 5,626 (27,987) West Brom 5,483 (28,610) Sunderland 5,431 (29,596) West Ham 4,724 (28,794) Basically there are just over 6400 tickets available on a match-by-match basis, which is only increased when the away team doesn't take the full allocation of 3200.

You have to remember that the corporate section covers both the large seated area in the middle of the Itchen Stand and the corporate boxes. Pretty sure they didn't sell every box for the game, nor would every box have been full. In general, though, corporate sales have improved significantly since the middle of January.

According to the online ticket system, there were 86 seats unsold (although 71 of those were single tickets in the family section, so presumably they're unable to sell those), so the vast majority of the shortfall will be in corporate. I'd be interested to discover what the club does regarding ticketing agencies - it's possible that they have acquired tickets either on a match-by-match basis or season tickets, but they didn't find buyers for Saturday. I remember the Man United game last season when the game had sold out two weeks in advance and yet there was a massive block of around 100 seats empty in block 5 - the club claimed they were ALL due to people simply not turning up, which seems somewhat difficult to believe.

I re-emphasise... there is very little I can do unless you can provide me with either a screenshot of the offending advert or the HTML output of the page ("View Source" on most browsers), along with the specifics regarding your setup, i.e. browser and operating system. The advertising displayed comes from a variety of sources, and the only way we can determine whether it is something our advertisers are doing is with that information.

Can you take a screenshot of a page with a popup showing? Our ads are set up to only display "inline" ads, i.e. no popups or overlays. However, it's possible that a stray one could slip through the system if the agency that created the advert set it up incorrectly (i.e. said it was an inline ad when it was an overlay, etc). If we can get the URL of the advert then we should be able to shut it off at source.

There aren't any more parachute payments, the last one is this season.

I like that they have adopted the Great Fans moniker to describe the Few. You can picture them doing the "quote marks" thing with their hands when you read their comments.

In their final 4 games, Wycombe play Northampton, Bristol Rovers and Torquay. Could be interesting...

Pompey have scored more goals, so they're ahead. For now.

My word.

Yep

Northampton equalise. Edit: and Wimbledon will play for an hour with 10 men. Former Saints triallist Darren Carter with the goal.

Plenty of time yet.

What browser/OS are you using? Any chance of a screen shot showing them?

It's worth pointing out that, while the teams in the Combined Counties and Ryman leagues benefited from the financial boost of big crowds when AFC Wimbledon were in town, they also caused a great deal of resentment with the Billy Big ******** and holier-than-thou attitude that seemed to manifest itself among a large part of the travelling fanbase.

Possibly been told to sell upper tier before lower.

According to the club, they take all the match circumstances into account, so the fact it was a Sunday lunchtime on TV wouldn't go against us if it's a Saturday 3pm game next season.

In terms of points-per-game, we're 11th when the opposition score first. Only Stoke, Villa and West Brom of the teams below us have a better PPG record in those circumstances, so it's not horrendous, although we're one of only 4 teams (the others being Swansea, Sunderland and Crystal Palace) not to have won a game where the opposition has scored first. Worth noting that only 5 teams have conceded first on fewer occasions (City 5, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool 8, Everton 10), which suggests we start games pretty well overall.

We've scored first in 19 of our 31 games, winning 12, drawing 3 and losing 4. Opposition has scored first in 11 games, we've not won any of those games, but have drawn 5 (losing 6). One 0-0 draw, v West Ham at home.
