Quote: Marcus's Bicycle "I've got a pass so I don't know how much tickets usually are but £34 to sit in the East Stand seems way over the top.
I might be wrong but didn't we have a ticket promotion for the last derby which boosted the crowd to over 20k?
I'm also pretty sure the opening game of the last two seasons against Saints and Cas had ticket offers as well.
With all the new players and opening the season with a derby we should be looking to pack in as many as possible and create a great atmosphere.'"
The clubs lack of marketing expertise comes to the fore once again
The interest from both clubs fans for this coming season due to all the new players that will appear and given its the opening fixure of the season make this the most anticipated derby for years.
Even the fact its a Thursday night fixture which will always effect the gate.the club have missed a real chance to pack out the stadium and not having a limited number of promotion tickets available to try and get some newcomers in simply lacks marketing,and the club look like they cant be bothered and would rather go the other way and increase some ticket prices to improve revenue rather than trying fill the stadium
