Colchester closed the books on tickets at 14:00 hrs this afternoon.

Still showing 2 tickets left in X block

Any ideas on their final figures? verses the inital allocation?

Not a clue mate. CaP is prowling around on here somewhere, he may know. The ground is going to feel pretty full regardless. Bring it on.

Not certain to be honest, but it sounds like 1300-1400 sold.

 

[Farmer Fossett]

Looks like there will just be approx 10k in the ground.

A friend of mine is coming down to visit this weekend, and I'm bringing her to the game. I'm going to tell her the crowd is like that every week. :D

Is her name Sue? :smile::smile::smile:

If that is the case, saying you believe you had 100-200 tickets left on sale at 2pm from a 1,500 allocation. I must admit I think Southend Utd didnt do anyone any favours in making it an all ticket game for Col U fans. After all, we were never going to be given Y&Z in replacement (due to H&S regulations).. regardless of how little the farmers would bring... and they never looked like they were going to fill the full 1,500 anyway.

My point is, by not making it an all ticket match, it wouldnt have done any harm, to keep ticket sales on the day of the match,... and clearly would not have made an ounce of difference to home ticket sale

But just perhaps they might have picked up an additional 20-(50) max tickets on the day, which would have had absolutely no bearing on the initial segregation anyway, considering it was already originally planned for a 1,500 away crowd.

DERBY DAY

DERBY DAY

V good vine, but don't forget that the 300 eventually got slaughtered.

Shhhhhhhhh :winking: - was actually meant to post this in the Pre Match thread can a mod move?

 

[united we stand]

the advertised capacity of Roots Hall is 12,392

If Chris's clever programme is accurate (and I have no reason to believe it is not) then there are 8765 seats available for home fans. That means that the capacity of the north bank = 3627. Is that correct or are we missing something?

I believe corporate boxes are missing I worked out the numbers a couple of years ago on another big match thread. That included the north bank numbers

 

[Cultist of Sooty]

Is her name Sue? :smile::smile::smile:

I'm not Sooty, I have just accepted him as my saviour.

Or is it sweep in his leather gimp suit

Don't get me started on Sweep. He's a talentless hanger-on, riding on Sooty's coat tails. I'd never bring him to Roots Hall, the squeaky parasite.

 

[Chris S]

From what I can see, there are potential 8765 'normal' seats for home fans (East A through West X), and a potential 2934 'normal' seats for away fans (North A through North YZ). That equals to 11699 total 'normal' seats. Add another 156 for seats in the directors box to take the total to 11855, which leaves 537 'seats' up in the boxes. Sounds about right to me.

If it were buy on the day and the home end was sold out that doesn't sound particularly wise. Going in the away end wouldnt be most peoples choice, but if it were the only way to get in....

 

[Jam_Man]

According to online X sold out , whole west stand sold out bar the wheelchair seat.

Family enclosure west has 10 individual seats, which seeing as its a family enclosure technically cant be sold.

South stand has 14 individual seats and the restricted views.
