Ground's better in the away end anyway. Went with Palace and it was fab.

That’s mad isn’t it? How many season ticket holders do Watford have?

I appreciate people can’t make every game but I’m gutted if I miss one game let alone any more than that!

Edit: they have under 15,000 season ticket holders so one in five don’t bother going to every home game. That’s a lot.

Happens at most clubs I think. The Emirates was half empty when we went but still given as 60k. We have an exchange system where you can put your seat available online if you can't make it, and get a fiver off the price of your next season card every time you do this. I think Man Utd charge season ticket holders if they don't come?!

Hardly a shock really - we used to get about 15k at best until the Pozzos came.

Now it's up to 20k allegedly..

Bet some pick and choose their games.

Probably have more hanger on type of "fans" than most !

We have the sort of system Anklebiter is talking about .

I went to the Vic to see a match there when Saracens used it as a home ground. It was dank, cold, and devoid of any charm. Fezheads I know are glad to be out of the place.

I'm sure most Watford FC fans love the place but if this 1 in 5 STH's who are allegedly staying away is true, I wouldn't be at all surprised if a number of them are fans who have decided that going shopping with the wife is preferable to sitting in an unattractive stadium watching an even less attractive team getting beaten.

Well we do have a nice new 4th stand now and the corners filled in.,

Much better then when the Sarries played there!

The Pozzos have done a fine job off the pitch and we are in a higher league for now..

Think Vicarage Road is a fine ground. Nothing fancy but nothing wrong with it either.

I'd like to see stats on the number of season ticket holders that don't bother to turn up at the Etihad every week.
