I'm wondering whether with such a sparse crowd it may be worthwhile just opening the 2 middle blocks of the BR and have everyone condensed and that way it may improve atmosphere ?

Re: Catalan it is : Mon Sep 22, 2014 5:05 pm  

tried to use the click and collect service online as it says there is no booking fee but when i go to pay there is a booking fee of £2.50??! am i doing something wrong or is it just the club messing things up

Daz, the cameras are in BR stand, would show a completely empty stadium, better the riverside lower teir with the end sections blocked off, the Catalan fans could go in the dugout, its another embarassment.

Re: Catalan it is : Mon Sep 22, 2014 6:23 pm  

i was gonna suggest that myself daz, maybe get everyone sat together and try and create a good atmosphere.
i would also suggest getting some of the singers from the riverside over to the kilner bank and try and make it a better atmosphere.
however saying that, the last few catalan games have been pretty good atmosphere wise,despite usually attracting low crowds, and with whats at stake i can see it being OK, but one big plea...please do not applaud the dragons onto the field, they are our enemies for the night and we should treat them as such, make them feel uncomfortable the moment they leave the dressing room! i know it's sportsmanship etc but on friday night it's win or bust, we must use everything in our favour!

the catalan fan will be sat in his usual place amongst the fartown fans

Same with me, why is it so hard to buy tickets!!!

Re: Catalan it is : Mon Sep 22, 2014 7:56 pm  

The club phoned our house tonight (well my other half) to ask if we wanted any tickets. Its usually me that goes down to get our away ones, but they specifically asked for other half. trying to target those who perhaps don't always get tickets-saves a job, a phone call / journey and can pick them up when convenient.
Good move giants- every little helps!!!

tries to click and collect service today and its now working! shame it didnt work first time.

heard the giants giving tickets away in a competition on pulse radio today

also got a text from the club

and they are in the student union seeing as its freshers week offering tickets for £10

so they are working hard for this game, well done.

anything over 3k i think for friday night, anything below will be very disappointing

Re: Catalan it is : Tue Sep 23, 2014 11:49 am  

Danny Brough will be playing friday night, he would have been playing against wigan if it was a elimination game... warned before that game we went into it with the wrong mindset

this is why i think we will see a big response this time.

The game might as well be played behind closed doors.
