Just Browny Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 A fair few have come in since the anthems... but it's not 10k's worth. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

One of the problems we have is that they clearly felt we would get big crowds and opened whole grounds. Had everyone been sat facing the cameras together it would probably enhance the experience for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N2022 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Never a great attendance when you can read the wording the contrast colour seats spell out - odd to note it's Wasps down one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 It's a big ground, I think it's a decent effort for a game like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your positivity, Damien, but do wonder whether they've really made as much they could have of this fixture - it's the nearly always champions against a home nation. Would a venue closer to the border and a weekend afternoon have enabled more Scots to travel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance - most people are down the side we can't see on camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratman Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I'm guessing 6k. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL Sutton Coldfield Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 It's a 32k seater stadium. I'm here and I'd say it's about 8-10k. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintspete83 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 This type of fixture should never have been played there. It's as simple as that. I'd love to know (but can suspect) what due diligence was done for places like this and Boro. I just do not get it. Image is a big thing in sport and ours is taking a beating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratman Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 It's a shame some of close games between more evenly matched teams aren't getting bigger crowds, those matches have been much better to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL Tragic Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 chief executive Jon Dutton acknowledged on Thursday that hindsight might have yielded a different model to confront the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. However, he also defended the decision. "We have made some mistakes and we hold our hands up when we make mistakes," said Dutton. "It we had the opportunity to do this all over again, having gone through the pandemic, would we price stuff differently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefferyLFC Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 No way it looked like a crowd of 10k there tonight. Tickets have been on sale now long enough and we get less than a third of the capacity. Would have been great to hold the game in the area in a smaller ground, sadly the interest in an RL world cup is not there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest your perception of what 10 thousand people looks like in a 32,000 stadium is a little off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
