Attendance against Eastbourne?

United62 · Post by **United62** » 11 Apr 2019, 14:16

Myself, like Wokingham Gull, have tickets for the Chippenham and St Albans games and although I'd normally make the trip down to Plainmoor on the last home game of the season, I can justify splashing out a little extra (much to the ball n' chain's disgust) on the Eastbourne game as I feel it could well be the one where we secure the title and have, therefore, secured tickets for the Popside, so you can add 2 that normally wouldn't be there for this game.

What is the view like from the 'away end' at PLAINMOOR ? Having not been in there since the days of Mike Green, is it any good ?

You don't go in there for the view but it's fine.

I remember back in the 90s turning up for a final match of the season against Northampton and being turned away from all areas of the ground. I think we lost and therefore missed out on promotion/playoffs.

4000 at the most I'd say. Next to no away fans so can't see it being any higher than that with the away game at Chippenham coming up.

Around 3,800 tickets have been sold,and you'd expect at least another 3-5 hundred to pay at the gate.

With our official capacity at 7500 it would seem hard to work our how you fit another 3000 in on games when we have had 4000 attendances. I am sure there is some ‘clever’ accountncy involved...

I'd be delighted to be way off

I hope to be coming down on Saturday, maybe even bringing 2 Eastbourne supporters with me!

So, if our ground capacity is 7500, and we have given 200 seats to Away fans, then the following from our website gives the impression only 2200 tickets left, and so we have sold over 5000 so far? Seems to me, we must be working to a smaller capacity than 7500. But still looks like a very big crowd will be there on Saturday. Does anyone know actual max capacities in each of the 4 stands?

"For Saturday’s match against Eastbourne, there are only around 320 seats left in Bristow’s Bench, with Blocks D, E and F all sold out. There are also around 300 seats left in The Sunday Independent Family Stand.

Although there are still just under 1,100 tickets in the Thatchers Popside, and 480 in the Riviera Storage Terrace, tickets are also selling very quickly"

I think it's actually 6,500. Will be great to see Plainmoor packed out tomorrow. Won't necessarily be a full house but I wouldn't be surprised if it tops 5,000+

Your right capacity is 6500 I got incorrect figure from Wikipedia

Wokingham Gull · Post by **Wokingham Gull** » 12 Apr 2019, 13:55

So Based on 6500, our current ticket sales would be 6500 - 2200 (unsold) - 200 (away fans) = 4100 sold to date. With some ticket sales today, a few away fans, and supporters paying on the day, could that be a further 1000, getting us to 5100 plus? Seems very possible. What a boost for TUFC to have a 5000 pus crowd for a league game, or even 2 league games.

Any Statos out there that know the last 5000 plus crowd at plainmoor for a league game?
