I think we will be over 1K but less than Whitehaven which will still be going in the wrong direction on fans. You would think York are a bigger attraction than Haven so gates should be at least 1500 for this.
Also have a water bottle for kids is nice, but having your photo taken with a Mascot is more memorable IMHO, you can get a water bottle anywhere. So still no activities for kids, and the fans zone will probably be closed. But smithers99 have a pie on me'"
Not certain we will reach the 1K, depends a lot on who (including us) are late purchasers and whether many of that "category" will attend. Hope I'm wrong and your closer to the mark.
With the South Stand closed I'm not sure MyPie will be there. They can park outside the pub, so it's possible they could open.

| Tough proverbials today lads (and maybe lasses). Reading Smithers' post, almost felt that Bongser had been there (make the attendance 904).
Loved his head scratching over centres. Yup, this party has never been sure either even on the occasions when he was required to play as one.

| 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.

Kind of hides my utter confusion at times though. One thing I've learnt over the years with different team sports is to become familiar with the players. Once I do that and have a rough idea of what the player positions are meant to do, it seems to make it so much easier to follow. At the Bradford match I spent ages just watching where each player stood whilst attacking or defending; that really helped.

| York twitter feed has interviews with both the coach and a player about the performance straight after the game as well as a video of them celebrating i the changing room.
we have a picture of the final scoreboard.
During the game, loads of content and updates.....
I get the impression there are Zero F^$ks given by anyone at the club anymore and that is squarely at the feet of the CEO now.....it's unacceptable in this modern era!

| Quote: BigTime "Some additional thought. Although I was a bit surprised with the attendance figure there was a decent atmosphere today.
I bought some merchandise having found the shop. I’m surprised that some of the items on sale don’t seem to be on sale online. That seems an open goal to me.
I thought Borough had a decent cameo as did Williams. BTW Ogden for York was far more involved (in first half anyway) than I had seen before, seemed to have bulked up and was a threat.
Curran- he came with a rep of being one of the very best in the league. I’m not experienced enough to judge and suspect he does quite a bit of hidden stuff but although he seemed more involved today I just don’t know if he’s as influential as was hoped. Do others have views?'"
The atmosphere inside the ground was good! quite a few new faces!
