York game

Quote: orangeman "I counted 600 at about 9pm here, so 8am your time.I'll take it that all the 903 declared were in the ground watching the game, but I suspect those responsible for announcing the crowd numbers have an awful lot invested in this move delivering.

Not sure about the restriction of movement in the Cherry Red, but when I attended games, it was pretty easy to "view' the corporate area and see how busy it is. At Brentford, Stripes bar had a limit of 500 and in those days, Gold Members only was the rule, but if it wasn't too busy, everyone was let in. The Kings bar was a free for all to start with at the stoop, then it became a closed shop and numbers decreased but I never had an issue getting in on a general admission ticket, then we shifted across the pitch and again, it was a closed shop until number again dropped off. Only ever attended the last SL game at The Hive so can't comment there, same at Trailfinders except I did "mistakenly wander in" at the Wakefield game in 2018 to see fewer than 50 people just before KO, including the visiting team tables (2x10) and Hughes Table (another 10).

The club have claimed "only a few places left" a number of times in regards to the corporate area, but have yet to publish any photographs of said area with any of the "key guests" mingling......this to me speaks volumes, but I am happy to be proven wrong.
From the club site advertising corporate hospo. rlThe next Home Game is Widnes on the 30th of January and you can purchase your Hospitality Tickets hererl The links for Corporate are indeed rubbish.

Getting into the Corporate area at Plough Lane is very difficult, it's a different entrance and on a different floor. There is no mixing at all. All things are possible, but can only be done blatantly and with the security up there my guess is you'd be escorted from the ground. Viewing the corporate level when in their seats is possible but not easy with just the Main Stand open as their seating is above the rest of us and across the length of the pitch.

What are your thoughts on the corporate numbers Broncos should be getting? Perhaps on one side what was the impression sold to fans of numbers? What would they have been expecting for a York match based on that? Then knowing the level of crowds this season, what would be an acceptable number for today's match?

As Victor states, the pub would be too small, but the immediate outside covered section would work great in the summer.

Regarding the sold seats I counted 690, 2 hours or so pre-game. There were definitely corporate tickets on top of that. What I can't guarantee is if anybody bought last minute or on the gate. Personally I buy late, why buy early when there is no risk of missing out when you might change your mind.

A 15% increase in sales on Sunday morning isn't bad. That we can be reasonably sure about from a combination of your figures and mine. Reasonably I'd assume those sales continued to rise up until kick-off.
