[Tangled up in Blue]

Jyst done that-thanks John (I'll let you know what the reply is -if any).

Think this is at the heart of it personally .

Probably more to do with broadcasting rights

DAZN in Spain - don’t know what they will show though

How many tickets sold so far?

Sounds like a sensible commercial decision.

We lose money when NL games are shown live on TV. Lots of Shrimpers stay at home and about 50% of away fans.

How many tickets sold so far?

According to the counter it's 5,500 but that doesn't include any away tickets.

Just got mine. Very little left available!

 

[Tommy2holes]

It will be the same as usual.

East and West full.
South Upper pretty full
South lower mostly empty

800 odd Charlton unless we can accommodate more.

About 8000 will be about right.

My maths, just adding up the numbers of #125 gives a home sell out capacity of just 7,303?
Okay there may be X block?
And then boxes and hospitality BUT that does seem a much reduced number?
Is the small block in West/South corner under the Police/Safety control box ever used?

That’s about what it’s been for the last few seasons. Around 8,000 home fans inc hospitality. Then 800 odd max away. Just under 9,000 if all sold.

 

[Smiffy]

Have tickets in block a been available at any point?

No. Block A is not usually made available for purchase online.

According to that argument plenty of Shrimpers will be watching FA Cup round ! matches broadcast live on the Beeb this weekend. I won't be.

Asit happens,I tend to agree with your first sentence (and I'll let you & other Shrimpers know what the club have to say about it when thet get back to me-they haven't so far)!

I don't think our last R1 game was available for streaming either - away to Chesterfield 3 (?) years ago. It may be that the club cannot stream it due to the rights agreements, rather than a lack of will.

They’re hardly going to set up a completely new streaming service for one game that can’t even be streamed in the UK where the vast majority of watchers would be.

I'm not arguing that most of the ponential viewers for the game would be in the US -but these certainly aren't the supporters who are are most vocal in support of the club on SZ.

They will but at 15:00hrs on Saturday they will be at RH.

If it was streamed then there would a significant drop on the attendance because plenty have a snide £40/50 per year connection. Some post the most negative comments on here about the club whilst clearly watching at home on their fire stick

As true as this is. I watch certain away games I can't go to which doesn't damage the clubs finances.

If I were to watch any home game, I've paid for a season card so wouldn't harm the finances either.

Most of the watchers online are abroad or season card holders who watch away games they can't make.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

5,646 on the ticket counter so can easily add another 700 for East Blues, DB, corporate etc. Only singles left in East and West stands.

Plus I'm pretty sure Charlton will sell their 815. Hopefully we can give them more, if so good chance this will be one of the highest if not the highest FA cup first round crowd out of all the games.

Yes so do I.

Not just the games I can't go to but the clubs that have taken the p*** in previous seasons don't get my money.

But don't be naive enough to think that people aren't watching homes games from the sofa.

Chaps - wonder if you can help me. I’ve bought two tickets for the Charlton game and now can’t go. Will the club refund them over the phone or do I need to go down to the shop. I bought the tickets online.

Thanks!

Would assume they can refund over the phone
