villa4europe Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 i think they have to give away 500k tickets a season to the local council anyway, not sure how they do it but they would no doubt use that to help skew the attendances (i doubt they give any free tickets out when they play chelsea) add in them potentially increasing the away attendances (we could take 5-10k down there 1st time i reckon) and it will be around the 30k mark the interesting thing will be what the bastards do with away ticket prices, the £30 PL cost wont be happening, they'll probably use an increase to pay for more cheap season tickets, id be surprised if it was less than £45 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to be up there alongside all bollocks that is spoken by the candiates on the apprentice. Obviously wearing off on her now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no chance West Ham would be getting anywhere near 50k in the Championship. I'd be surprised if they got 30k on a regular basis playing at the Olympic stadium in the 2nd tier. 50k? No a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that would drop to below 30k if they were relegated. That's asking for a huge drop off in support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not expect West hams support to drop by more than 10k per game. load more cheap tickets and tourist support along with their loyal fan base.

If you are a tourist in London you are drawn to Premier League football. Doubt they will get the floating tourists. As someone said look at Fulhams lack of tourists now they are in The Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe are tourists, others are attracted by the stadium. Arsenal don't sell out much these days and have a fair few attendances not much over 50k and they're still in the mix for top 4. I too don't believe for one second the bull spouted by Brady they have this waiting list otherwise why weren't they selling out Upton Park every week?

andym Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 With Hart in goal they lose 4-0 at Everton. Adrian comes in and its a close 2-1 loss away at Man City, and clean sheets against Chelsea and Arsenal. And still you get pundits and former players saying Hart should be number 1 for England at the World Cup. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
