    but what about our knees?
  • 26,476 is a "Sell-out" with restrictions ?

    Valley Express has just passed 1,000 bookings for this game . . . huge numbers in East Kent and the Ashford area, in particular.
    Yet we only get 50 people max coming to our meetings.....madness!
    It's likely that these newbies don't know you exist. You need to make contact with them. Perhaps the club can help, I don't see why they can't.

    Alternatively, make sure that the stewards of the coaches on Saturday give out the info, simples.

    50 is a decent turn out for a new branch. It takes time for people to become aware of the meetings and then feel that they are something worth spending an evening on.

    CE is right about publicity but the best form of publicity if word of mouth. Just telling people what was said (on here and elsewhere), what sort of evening it was, that there were 50 people there (some people are terrified that they will turn up and there will only be 10 people there) all helps to create interest and a desire to try out the next meeting.

    Slowly the word gets around.

    And the Club can do a targeted email to people in the nearby post codes. But don't just tell them there is a meeting tell them what they missed last time.

    So I expect to see a full report on here Friday morning no later than 10.00am. : - )
  • They're obviously all coming to see FA Cup heroes Stevenage

    I saw the bouncy bouncy at Malmo's Champoins league game against Rangers, when it was home fans only, so all four stands were full of Malmo. The game was a complete sell-out and Malmo went through with a late equaliser. the ground just errupted and all four stands just bounce like crazy. their ground built two years ago, was designed to accomodate the crowd bouncing as it is common practice. i was sat at the back row in the press seats and when the whole crowd bounced the stands actually spring up and down, awesome. Lets hope saturday has us bouncing all afternoon.
  • You have 2 hopes Bob Hope and no Hope!!

    So are the missing 1,000 ish comps ?
  • The seg line takes the capacity down by about 400 and I've allowed for 200 more comps.
  • I presume home tickets are being sold in the JS stand then already?
  • edited February 2012
    So capacity = 27100 minus 400 segregation = 26700.

    Sold 11990 to CAFC, 1200 to Stevenage, plus 9200 S/T = 22390.

    Gate = 23,603.

    Difference = 1,213 . Are these all complimentaries ? Not bothered, but the figures don't otherwise add up.
  • Great, I'm gonna have someone next to me, what fun

    We've got about another 50 paid STs. You're missing comp season tickets, as well as comp match tickets. Stevenage have 1,300, whatever they are saying.

    780 sold today - 12,119 total - gate 23,750.
  • Is the Jimmy Seed available over the phone or will it just be for those on the day?
