small crowd today
|
|
I was shocked by the poor attendance today. 30,000? I'm watching Villa play now with a near full-house. Was it mainly Covid factor, or transport?

lot of debate here. it was the fucking trains. both overlands in essex not running into london. most go in by train. add reduced parking at stratford on the day. we've done 50k on a wet wednesday against nobody. people saying it wasn't the trains have been on the purple tins.

Actually, when you put it into context like that it makes you think how we have come attendance wise. What is deemed really low now is what our capacity was only 5 years ago.

So crowd was around 35k which would he a full house at Upton Park..a lot of people have tested positive for Covid and unless you live on a tube line was hard to get there. Also as said some people are too scared to upset the inlaws

Back in the old days they were always full houses.
We didn't live in Essex/Kent then it was a ten minute walk for me the old man and brother.
11 o'clock kick offs then into East Ham working mens club to drown our sorrows after another Boxing day defeat.

It was always gonna be a shit crowd yesterday . Yet so many who called on social media for a boxing day fixture wouldn't have turned up . I doubt if we will have another one anytime soon .

can they request them. I assume they can only not request them.

*consumables.
Don't think the club will bother requesting home boxing day matches for quite a while.

~34k yesterday according to my woman on the inside, and not a lot of concessions purchased at all.

Why are people not going because of covid ?
Worried about catching it and getting very sick?
Take a fucking vaccine then, or a booster if you are older.
You are going to catch it at some point regardless, so unless you are about to travel. Sounds like you are brainwashed

Think the 3 o’clock ko didn’t help either,would of been much better 12-12.30.Having an 8pm ko on boxing day is just ridiculous.If anything shows how the tv doesn’t give a shit about fans who go to games this is it.

Saw spurs was 40k. Brighton looked half full.
Not sure of our crowd but assume it will be 58k which is tickets sold rather than fans in ground.

As I mentioned Boxing Day games only ever good when 11.30 or 12 noon kick offs. Also should be derby matches. Atmospheres never great but good excuse to get out and see mates
Everyone then in pub or home early.

Sven,
Fuck all to do with transport links. Railways don't run on Boxing Day anywhere. At least the tube does. I had to drive yesterday and put up with a huge delay on the M11 and fucking idiots who only seem to drive once or twice a year when the sales are on

Got about 30 mates who are season tickets and only around 10 of them went yesterday.
Others could only get there if they drove which isn't really an option.
