Crowd for West Ham

[john@staustell]

The new sooper-dooper functioning online ticket system :) suggests that this may be half-decent crowd, considering that it is Monday night, it's on neo-telly, West Ham wont sell out their bit and the oppo are in the bottom 3.

I know the online system can be a bit false, but it shows no availability in the two lower tiers and pretty limited in the third.

Based on this pretty sketchy evidence I'll go for:

44,440

[Moonchesteri]

43,108. fact.

[Vhero]

43,108. fact.

43,109

[BlueinBosnia]

About 42,600, I'd say. Potential for the lowest of the season here.

[WiganBlue]

I phoned up for my ticket at about 10am and she said there was only 3rd tier seats left. Ill go for 44,627

[Ted Hughes]

Just had a look on Bluemoon & couldn't spot the usual seat counting anoraks' thread so did a brief anorak count myself & I recon (very roughly) there's less than 1000 of our seats left. If we have 48,000 seats then, unless WH don't turn up that's at least 46,000. If the usual 48,000 includes corporate areas then it could be less.

I'll go for 46,436 anyway.

[CITYSTEVEDON]

my mate rung on sat and he got a ticket for the south stand upper, where the away fans are most games. i would say about 45k

West Ham allocation:

2150, lower tier only, as suggested in Citystevedon's post. We have the upper tier, now all gone it seems.

Also W Ham have returned 600 to City for matchday cash sales (to Hammers fans) - on the official Hammers site but I can't copy and paste from it it seems.

Therefore they might make 1800-2000 if they're lucky. Better than yer average Fulham/Boro effort I guess and therefore not too many empty seats their end!

Only 86 seats left in Upper tier west now.

This is quite exciting, under Pearce we were lucky to get 36,000 in such circumstances!! Looking like 10,000 more now.

[CITYSTEVEDON]

in the top tiers for us,as of 2-05 there is 995 tickets left, and yes i did count the buggers, but im not sad as ive got 2-30hrs to go before i come to manchester.

so i now think that there will be 46756

[The Man In Blue]

work is dragging today, fuck espn for this.

well bored, roll on 4:30.

so i might actually make some money tonight if I have some blues to sell programmes to today then, wasn't expecting any west ham they didn't have any in the 2nd tier last season anyway. bonus!!

Not a sniff when I tried to sell my seasoncard tickets for this game on ticket exchange. there were 2 seats together in a good spot - they stop you negotiating your own price though, so I was stuck trying to sell them at £36 a pop.... Anyway, back on track, there were quite a few tickets untouched on ticket exchange - hopefully will be a good turn out - but i expect a v. low 40s crowd. p.s. based down south so can't get to mid week!

We should remove upper tier for away fans on a permanent basis me thinks except maybe cup games while were filling the stadium so more blues can get in.

We wouldn't be allowed to do it for a few games, I'd guess, due to potential crowd trouble. Stoke, rags and brum would be outers, for a start.

Funningly enough tonight's fixture got 36,000 last season.

The rags is precisely why we should do it if there's only a half of them their there's less chance of it kicking off..
