No tickets on sale after 6pm today (Thursday) so no opportunity to pick up on any last minute "pay on the day" fans. Sadly, this will keep the home support down and we might be outnumbered for this one - sincerely hope not because if this had been POTD I think we would have seen in excess of 5,000 home fans for this one (Easter weekend, weather not bad, a lot of middle-aged supporters remembering the tremendous rivalry between the clubs in the past etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Plenty of neutrals who would generally pay on the day will be refused entry, another stupid decision, the biggest loser is the club, I still think we should of freed up a thousand seats in one of our stands for Bolton fans seeing as there will be over 4000 empty seats on the day.

Guest davidshaw Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 agree with you yarddog73 - with a 12.30 kick off, absolutely no need for this to be all ticket and we WOULD have had a real bumper crowd. Too many drama queens and jobsworths around amongst the stewards/safety people and the police. Personally - I would have given Bolton the Chaddy and the Rocky and let them sell them out. The Chaddy looked pretty empty against Sheff Utd - and there was loads of room in the North Stand too. Rather have 2 sides packed with Latics than the usual threadbare appearance within the ground. Atmosphere would have been electric. No idea how many tickets we've sold but probably be not many more than 4,000 home fans? Thank you jobsworths - you've not a clue about football.

Guest davidshaw Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 just bought 2 tickets for "regulars" who had forgotten it wasn't pay on the day (they don't use the internet and said nothing in Chron tonight) - was told we'd sold "about 2,000" home tickets. So plus season tickets might not even get us to 4,000 home supporters - dreadful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know dec - somebody said to me they thought it was about 1900 - assuming quite a few will be away for Easter too - in my opinion, looks like it's going to be a poor home turnout for arguably the most attractive game of the season with a lot at stake too.

Consudering we had over 1900 sold in the early bird offer recently I'd guess we have at least 2000 already from the start of the season. I thought it was about 2400.

sjk2008 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Beat this lot and we are definitely safe. Theres no way Bury will pick up 5/6 pts, Vale 7pts and Swindon 8pts in their remaining games, so there's 3 teams we'd finish above alongside Chesterfield and Coventry.

I thought it was about 2400. Think you're getting mixed up with last season. I think we sold around 1200 with the win/win offer then Shez left and the close season madness began with a mass player exodus. I can't imagine we sold another 800 after what went on!! Incidentally, why does the club never divulge the total season ticket sales sold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripley Law Clarke Gerrard Wilson McLaughlin Green Fane Obadeyi Holloway Erwin Bloody 'ell, Back on topic. Since my original post, Sheridan has stated that Bolton play a 3-5-2 and he would go like for like to match them. So we may well see Banks retained in the middle three. Whoever plays wide left needs to track back when we are under pressure down that flank. I'm up for this, literally and figuratively, and will be on the road before eight...

oafc1955 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Holloway a doubt again and Chambers has him on the bench at best. I said when he was signed that the problem would be keeping him fit. For a young lad his fitness record is shocking. Lets hope Shez is just keeping Bolton guessing and Holloway is OK. He makes a massive difference to the way we play and would be a huge loss tomorrow!

disjointed Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I think with holloway it isn't a personal fitness issue, his game means he takes more hits than your average player. I agree he will be a big miss if not available though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyPimp Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 He was at least doing some light training today. Do we risk him tomorrow and try to put this to bed early, or get him nearer to 100% for the Bristol or Rochdale games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manshaw Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 The sooner we reach safety, the better. I would start him, and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looked at official stats but think both their centre halves are close to double figures. Correct Beavers and Wheater have both scored 7 a piece. While as others have said we shouldn't let Bolton team dictate our team selection we have to take the threat seriously Morais delivery and the fact that they are a big side you will hope we have worked out a plan to deal with this. With the likes of Clarke Gerrard Holloway abd Fane in the side we should be able to deal with the threat of a big physical side. They play 3-5-2 and get the ball forward we have to decide to continue with 3-5-2 and match them up or go for a 4-4-2 or even a 4-2-3-1 and possibly try and get down the flanks at them. Don't expect a pure passing football game tomorrow but do expect a battle. I think we can at least a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a generous offer. Seems you can't even give em away these days tho. I would have loved to have taken up your kind offer but got family duties (unfortunately) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
