It makes the north twice as loud tbfMight work against us TBH... I don't think the players like it...
It's a crucial game for us, hopefully we can get on top and silence them,
Nowt wrong with the Union JackGot two bars full of Cov. Confident bunch. Union Jack Flags everywhere. Love to beat them.
Tbh it was only when they were winning did they really chirp up, bar the pre game stuff.Giving away home advantage when you let the away team have all of the East. No chance of making Bloomers a fortress with that amount of away fans in. Absolutely ** stupid idea and one that will cost us.
It will cost Sadler many lost millions.Giving away home advantage when you let the away team have all of the East. No chance of making Bloomers a fortress with that amount of away fans in. Absolutely ** stupid idea and one that will cost us.
6 million in championship revenue alone ! So short sightedIt will cost Sadler many lost millions.
Hilarious that you don't get the point.Hilarious that some want us to NOT sell tickets.
You really couldn't make it up.
I understand your frustration but worse than Cartmel???Saddler worse than cartmel fuck off
Agree but what can we expect when there is a massive sign just by the scoreboard advertising hospitality to ‘family friendly’ away fans. Whatever the fuck they are???WTF are the club letting the cunts into hospitality for?
Don't mind giving them the whole east but when you start letting them infiltrate areas where there are home fans you're asking for trouble.
That's all I'm saying as it's boiled my ** piss all afternoon with some daft "security " wanker just stood there when it started to boil over.
Way to go Sadler, you can coin it in next season when Pompy, Derby, Cods and others come to Bloomfield Rd
Said it all season.Giving away home advantage when you let the away team have all of the East. No chance of making Bloomers a fortress with that amount of away fans in. Absolutely ** stupid idea and one that will cost us.
Because your chatting shit.Hilarious that you don't get the point.
In English please.Chatting shit . Were we in a relegation battle last season ?
If you're not capable of reading then it's pointless trying to have a discussion.In English please.
Can you explain how in the last month we beat Stoke and drew with one of the best sides the Championship has ever seen in Burnley then for selling out the whole of the East.
You can't so chatting shit.

Oh I can read but your posting utter dribble we lost today because we where shite and them good fuck all to giving away home advantage.If you're not capable of reading then it's pointless trying to have a discussion.
Spot on!No problem at all with Coventry fans filling the East. We didn't lose because they had extra fans, we lost because they scored four goals (helped by a dodgy ref admitedly). And it adds to the atmosphere imo.
We've seen teams in trouble this week because of finances, we need to maximise every opportunity to bring in revenue. Makes sense
Are you seriously suggesting we put a limit on away fans? Not only does it add to the atmosphere it brings in the money which funds the players we can bring into the squad. Insanity.Make £200k this season on seat Sales but lose £2m tv and sponsorship and that makes sense...** hell!
Atmosphere is one thing but the advantage, however slight, is crucial/critical
these games are marginal and any advantage needs to be taken to stay in this division
Do you have a clue what your posting the TV deal is way more than 2 mill in the Championship before sponsorship.Make £200k this season on seat Sales but lose £2m tv and sponsorship and that makes sense...** hell!

You've got to have a limit on away fans other wise what's the point of playing at home! It's a massive advantage for the away side.Are you seriously suggesting we put a limit on away fans?

That’s absolute bollox! If you think giving away fans like Coventry 4000 tickets has cost us our season then you need to give your head a fuckin wobble! The season has been a disaster from the moment Critchley left us in the shit and the errors in judgement at the top have been glaring! Didn’t we take 3000 plus to Wigan and got beat at which point Applecart should have been sacked?Make £200k this season on seat Sales but lose £2m tv and sponsorship and that makes sense...** hell!

Maybe the players would prefer to play behalf closed doors?Chatting shit . Were we in a relegation battle last season ?
Our 12th man was on top until the team capitulated.Over 4,000 Poverty fans in today...must of felt like a home game to them (circa 30% of gate)
We may well cream a couple of hundred thousand from away tickets this season with the current strategy but if we had literally no away fans and stay up it would be worth at least a couple of million to the club
I want away fans at the ground but let's be honest our 12th man can get outgunned by so many in the East
Big nail in coffin today for me...if we can't produce a display after a 6-1 Tuesday win I just can't see us getting the points we need in remaining games as we just can't string performances together
Fuck sake...read my posts on this issue please as I am not advocating this as the reason we are going downThat’s absolute bollox!

What advantage please explain?So we agree poolseaider...tv money tops a couple of hundred grand for giving the away fans 30% of attendance to the ground we can't fill
Why do it then it it gives any advantage?
TM l get what you’re saying but you have made a comparison with away ticket sales this season and losing TV revenue and sponsorships which is due to relegation driven by our on and off field performances.Fuck sake...read my posts on this issue please as I am not advocating this as the reason we are going down
Fine margins and a strong away following affects games/players perform (subjective I know but most who read this, I hope know what I mean) as have been to many away games to know this
Blackpool would not have won 5 and drawn 5 at home in the Premiership season if the whole of the East side had been given to the opposition in my opinion..the ground was bouncing and very intimidating to the away players...What advantage please explain?
Stoke we beat and Burnley who are the one of the best Championship sides ever we drew against sold out the East.
Last season Barnsley, Blackburn and putting six past Birmingham all sold out the whole end the advantage thing is an utter myth peddled out after a defeat always the same on here looking something to blame now it's selling tickets FFS.
Nonsense just pure conjecture and with a ground as small as ours we wouldn't have been able to give aways in the PL big followings.Blackpool would not have won 5 and drawn 5 at home in the Premiership season if the whole of the East side had been given to the opposition in my opinion..the ground was bouncing and very intimidating to the away players...
The club needs to fill the north side of the East stand with Blackpool fans..proper prices and marketing may help...
And yet people are banging on about making the stadium a 20k capacity. The only reason why we used to be able sell most home tickets in the Prem was because of the local plastics and those just wanting to watch Prem standard football.we can't even fill the ** 3 stands we have, nevermind half the east
Correct so let's just because of a myth throw thousands down the drain and next up complaining that we haven't spent any money on players.we can't even fill the ** 3 stands we have, nevermind half the east
We're building the stadium for decades ahead and hoping to grow.And yet people are banging on about making the stadium a 20k capacity. The only reason why we used to be able sell most home tickets in the Prem was because of the local plastics and those just wanting to watch Prem standard football.
It definitely helps away sides having them all along.Correct so let's just because of a myth throw thousands down the drain and next up complaining that we haven't spent any money on players.
** Idiots.
