BP1960 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 A good chance to progress this - their right back conceded loads down his side towards the end of last season. But who will be the Latics left winger ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I hope it's not a weekend. I know the Olympics are one but we don't need to swap our traditional calendar so much. If the club plays it correctly it could tempt a sell-out from Sheff Weds. Set the prices at £10-12 and they'll flood across. I don't see why we can't work a 7,000 crowd IF we can make the fans appreciate a fair price. And it's certainly winnable. It depends on how Dave Jones sees it. One of the better draws we could have hoped for. There's no use in saying 'that's us out' because Carlisle sent us out last year and we probably made a third of what we stand to earn from this draw. Any chance of it being televised live ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheLatics Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Doubt it. The two new boys to the FL have been handed superb draws. Football fans love the old David v Goliath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he won't play but if he does then i'm sure the rest of the team will follow instructions and cover!!Do you think he'll be able to move around the pitch as freely with that massive 3 year contract in his back pocket Harry??

Missed that bit Just having a little jovial banter you seem to jump his defence a hell of a lot so whats the relationship? by the way the puchline was the same as yours, his contract must have been weighing him down so he couldnt get out of the reserves, it was his contract all along not Dave Penney as people would have you believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why we can't work a 7,000 crowd IF we can make the fans appreciate a fair price. Or we could get 3600 at £20 and make more money. There could possibly be a deal for ST holders (might tempt the odd person to buy one for either club). But I can't see Corney and Mandaric agreeing to half the price.

You will find that the figures are roughly equal, medic. However, a cheap entry fee would generate more money in fans supping. Not only that, but for the surrounding pubs. If it wasn't the first match of 2012/13 a £20 a head would not even clock up 3,600. Charging £20 would annoy a lot of fans, both home and away. I agree a STH deal should also be in play.

I agree a STH deal should also be in play. I reckon with it being the first game and with it being on a Saturday, we'd get over 6k there. At £15 and £8 for tickets, we'd be on a winner....a Lg 1 team on a Tuesday night would see us with a crowd of less than 2k.....no brainer really.

I agree a STH deal should also be in play. Yes that was my point, if we were to get 7000 fans paying £10 a ticket, we would start to make more money than that at 3500 fans paying £20; probably less as more fans means more police. I dont know what the deal is with booze sales, I think the club get a flat fee which isnt dependent on sales and I don't really care about how much money the local pubs get. If we were to get 4000 at £20 the income would be £10k more than 7000 at £10. You might be right in saying we will struggle to get 3600 if it wasn't the first game of the season, but it is so that point is moot. How much will Wednesday charge their fans for home games next season? If will be less than whatever we charge them, so I can't see too many of their fans being upset about it. Some ours might be but I certainly won't as it means more money for the club to spend on player wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
