2550/5000 sold for Blackburn. We will probably take around 3500, since we've had a few bad results.

That's surely a midweek game?

5.30 Saturday on sky. Nearly two weeks until game, so we will sell a few more.

1058 Rovers - fair play

2 of my mates in the away end.
Same concept as I suppose every town and city now has random glory Leicester fans in it.

Just of interest: This year for the first time we have got 2,200 tickets for the Millwall away top tier on 15th. The usual 2,000 allocation is unreserved (and they give 10% expansion space). We have been given reserved seats this season...so hence the 2,200.

Very interesting mate.

Bristol City only allocating us 2660 for our Friday night visit.

Haha - it was a general news story for all you "away-ers" that have yet to go down Bermondsey way...although could be a reflection on me as the sad bast*rd I am.

WMP will be freezing away allocations for the second city derby at 2100. Our allocation at West Brom will also be cut to 2100 due to previous crowd trouble between the two clubs. West Brom will also have their allocation cut to 2100 at Villa Park.

Great stuff. Shame to spite your fans but you give us less than everyone else on "police advice" so we should do exactly the same against you given the risks are in theory the same.

Wouldn't sell the full 3700 anyway if our form continues.

We've allocated West Brom 2,800.

There has never been any real animosity with Blues and West Brom though... it's time it got nasty

Yeah probably not mate, you didn't last year.

Coincidently I’ve been totting with an Albion fan in our local tonight having the same discussion. Blues - Albion on a Friday night in a couple of weeks, nobody bats an eye, Blues & Albion has never been a thing, I’ll be meeting them in town for a drink then likely head to the ground together, likewise when we play over there. I want to beat them for the bantz but I’ve got no rivalry with them, I used to drink in The Hawthorne pub many years ago, right on the ground, with no secret I was Blues.

Look forward to game in a few weeks, nearest game to my 40th birthday, I’ll be wasted by about 5 o clock

Insomnia and boredom has forced me to have a look at the next set of midweek fixtures and have a think about how they'll be affected by Sky. Was having a discussion today and said by the 21st Sept it's going to have been 4 games on Sky for us, 3 via the red button but it's gone completely under the radar - I had no idea that all games that aren't Saturday 3pm are available for showing and I really think it's concerning.

Midweek followings were already down in the last set of fixtures, and again I think it'll only be about 3, perhaps 4 followings that are more than 1k.

 

[villa loyal]

Awwww, this Blues and Albion love in is so cute.

 

[markwwfc1992]

There has always been a sort of unspoken alliance of Wolves/Villa and Blues/WBA and all hate the other two. Our rivalry did heat up with Villa last year though.

 

[JJH]

Couple of cheap night games coming up for us after the international break but both on Sky. West Brom away on Tuesday 18th we've sold 1,068 for, so probably about 1,500 there - double what we took to Wolves midweek last season at the same stage so not bad. £20 tickets. Wigan away on the Friday night we've sold about 200, £10 tickets. Probably about 500, 600 if I'm optimistic. Pretty wank but expected as it's us and we don't travel north of Birmingham.

Credit to PNE, only £24 for adults with lots of cheaper concession prices. On a Saturday as well for once so it should comfortably be our highest following of the season unless we get a cup game like Liverpool/City away. It’s a shame we probably won’t reciprocate those prices when you come to us in April.

Fair play to Norwich as well, £20 for adults there. Unfortunately they could throw the doors open and we still won’t take more than 500 with it being on the other side of the planet and PNE a week later.

Villa will make it 5/5 then it stops abruptly with a fucking Sunday at Bristol.

Probably would have stopped with a saturday, maybe not if it was 2600.

Who the fuck are Bristol?

You might sell the 2,700 (if it is) if you're doing well in fairness.

You do actually Still pay less at every single ground (Same at Wednesday) than what we all pay at elland road, but you're selling out at home too so that won't be changing anytime soon.
