Except that in our case that isn't necessarily true due to the nature of our deal with the SMC.

I wouldn't know what our deals are with the SMC. Maybe Pearson is living in fantasy land thinking he is gonna get 3000 more supporters this season.

Or maybe Pearson doesn't think he's going to get 3000 more supporters this season.

As Hutchie says, the family tickets for £50 are restricted to W1 and W2. If those sections are sold out, they're sold out. When the South Stand sells out no one expects the club to offer £19 tickets elsewhere in the ground, do they?

But with a crowd 4000 down on capacity would it not have been prudent to offer family tickets elsewhere just to fill the ground and the coffers. Just a thought if people were actively seeking them.

Says the chap who expects our club to drop its prices for the biggest game (attendance wise) of the calendar. If you go into Tesco and they've run out of value brand beans, do you expect them to give you the Heinz ones for the same price?

But then where does that stop? Most games we're 12,000 under capacity - perhaps we should just let everyone in for a fiver to watch those matches.

Yes it's about enticing people back, get the rugby bug and maybe they will come back again.

I dont proclaim to have all the answers or be shot down in flames. By the way how would you do it?

Understand your point but your 'normal' games arent sellouts by a long shot. But the derby generally is so my point is knowing they were 4000 below sellout and people are looking for family tickets would it have put fans out to allow extra family packs to be given out in other parts of the ground? they are stewarded to a sellout so no problem. Money made.
