" UPDATED "
The whole of the top tier is now open and crowd looking like 30,000 plus :ayatollah: :bluebird:


I just spoke to the ticket office and sat is looking like a sell out/record breaking ccfc home crowd.

They've already opened a block in the top tear and there still selling fast.

Today alone they have sold over 600 season tickets and are expecting more as people get paid at the end of the month/start of April.

They wouldn't confirm it but they expect by the end of the deal deadline to have sold more season tickets than they sold for the whole of last season.

Credit where it's due to the club, they've done a great job with the tickets and fan PR of late and long may it continue!

Blooobirds!

Great News, but sadly to fill the Stadium for such an important game we had to give half the crowd FREE tickets

It is sad Annis, but it is what it is. Let's look at the positives and hope with a good performance and 3 points it boosts our attendances for the rest of the season!

You can't have it both ways Annis, every week your calling for the club to give away freebies to fill the stadium, then when they do, you refer to it as "sad" :lol:

I'm pleased that our club are working hard to get the fans back :ayatollah: :bluebird: just sad that about 15,000 free tickets is the only way they will come

Same here, players came to my school in 1972 and gave kids tickets away and I went with my Grandfather and the following season we both bought season tickets.
I really hope many of these people return and come back as fans :ayatollah: :bluebird:

Re: Amazing news for sat/next season

That's great news.
Online it looks like about 4K seats left in lower tier, mainly in the corners, but also in the front of Canton , 116/117
and Grandstand wings, front of Ninian wing (112 I think).

Also great that season tickets are selling well.

Just need a big performance on Saturday now.
With Marshall out against a very good side that isn't going to be easy !

Annis, we can't criticise. We have been calling on the club to do free tickets, because otherwise it's hard to win fans over. Best way of getting a big crowd. If we play well and get a result, then many will come back for more.

Think it's wrong to say something like that, sorry.

But Annis, we have struggled for crowds all season and the club have now taken action. If they hadn't, we'd have had a low crowd as usual.

Not surprised that it's taken this myself.

Got to agree with leystone Annis, we have both been asking for this. It's great news, be it free or not. It works because a percentage will return and a large percentage if itsva good experience. :thumbup:

28,018 when we played Liverpool in the Premier League and lost 6-3.

Overall record is 33,280 when Wales beat Belgium 1-0 in the EURO 2016 qualifier :ayatollah:

That's actually true!

Re: Amazing news for sat/next season

We have had quite a few previous offers of free tickets to ST holders with virtually no improvement to crowd numbers.
This to me is positive proof that the tide is turning. :thumbup:
As others have said we were all introduced at some time, some of the people attending on Saturday will be 'old fans' returning, others will potentially be 'new' fans.
It's essential the team perform & hopefully a great atmosphere means many returning on a regular basis.
Well done to the club :ayatollah:

Very true, I've said it before that were on the bottom of an upward curve and this is going a long way.

We need to turn up and do our part and make some noise and hopefully the team play some good attacking football!

But if thats whats got to be done,then so be it :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
