Shrewsbury away ?

[Blakey 9]

How many are we taking then ? We’ve sold just shy of 300 so far according to the website when you go to buy a ticket. I would hope we could at least sell 500-600 , first game of the season , do we sell many on the day ?

Why are we the only club in the football league affected by this? Every other team enjoys a bumper following on opening day.

Do they?

[Robin]

Yes. Look at the away followings this weekend they will almost all be above the average for clubs. See also how many Posh brought here last season too.

Then ? Such an easy and stupid excuse.

Because, if you are big club who would normally take 1,000 if available, and a third of fans are on holiday it is still a big attendance. If you normally take 500 max like we do then lose a third to holiday then that takes you down towards 300.

Plus as discussed about fan base and attendances previously. Cheltenham people aren’t obsessed by the football and have a relatively high income…so in the summer holidays and other sporting events take precedent. Whereas in more football obsessed towns you probably get more people who plan holidays around football games.

I remember often missing August bank holiday games to family holiday, or leaving a holiday early and getting a train or coach back on my own to go to the game. I recall one epic back on trains from Anglesey when about 14 for a match.

Looking back a last season we averaged a following of 334 at our away games. Just had a look on the website and it appears we have currently sold 330 so it is likely we will be taking an above average following based on last seasons stats.

I don't think that is too bad considering at the end of the day it is not a 'glamour' fixture despite them being Cheltenham North and with it being holiday season.

[Si Robin]

There will be a number of people, like myself, who have decided to go to Reading on the 15th instead.

Keep in mind it's one of our closest fixtures so by nature more than average will attend. I'm sure a lot will pay on the day but I'm expecting probably no more than 450 away fans at this point.

And apart from that it is in the @rse end of nowhere

Back to Football if anyone is interested...Shrews Forum hinting they are after Max Mata...Kenna's old strike partner. Dunno if true, but he is banging goals in Keena's absence.

M.Moore was aware of him last year but the rule at the time prohibited his coming here.

Hopefully if this move is back on we might be at the head of the queue as his old strike partner is already here?

[robinsrule]

I say it every year but holiday season really doesn’t affect football attendances, especially for the opening game. Yes, maybe 10% of people are away but they should be more than offset by occasional fans who are excited about the start of the season.

With that being said I think we’ll take about 450 to Shrews which is more than we usually take there. Of more importance is that we make plenty of noise and win!!

Don’t forget though that 334 includes Tuesday nights and much further trips than Shrewsbury…. as ever, if we lose it’ll be a disappointing trip for everyone and if we win those who don’t go will be gutted to miss it!

Anyone know if I could pay on the day? I won't know in advance whether or not I can go, unfortunately.

[Ben3]

I’m taking a car load of 4. We went to ZERO away games last year.

If we’re indicative then it may be a better attendance than expected.

My guess at away attendance is 567

Good to see you back after missing last season, Ben3. You avoided having to read the nonsense from Ben version 4 who appeared last season but has quit the forum now.

"Away supporters can pay on the day but please note it is CASH ONLY with a £1 increase."

Marvellous, ta for that.

Or has he quit the forum…?

One leaves, one joins…

Anyway, we’ve sold out our initial allocation - assuming c 500.

Cannot wait. Really fancy our chances.

[longmover]

I stand corrected, fair play CTFC fans.

Will the tickets be automatically transferred for the rearranged game? No chance of it being on tomorrow, storm Antoni going to bite the west of England hard and won’t be safe to play

[Shade]

You know, I'm really getting rather sick of all this bloody heavy rain, especially on weekends...

What's the drainage like at Shrewsbury? It's looking like possible heavy rain from around 3am to 3pm, with not particularly strong winds.

[Robin]

Looks like we should have around 600 there tomorrow much better than my initial fears. Fair play to everyone going up, it's a decent route and a nice little town in fairness.

[Broadway Brian]

Big coat weather already!! I’ve been in the loft and we’re all set.

[Jerry St Clair]

Great effort. Kudos to everyone going. Safe journey. The weather forecast would be rubbish for February, let alone August.

[asl]

Looking promising for me to go, too! Trying to recall my last away game...it's been a while...

[shevates]

Tickets are available on the day CASH ONLY Ive been told. 600 plus would be a great turn out

[robinsrule]

Is the game on iFollow? I live in London and I’ve cancelled golf but Shrewsbury is a long journey in the wind and the rain!

Cash only for parking at the retail park also. Cash machine at retail park (or was last year).

Path behind retail park cuts through to stadium.

[Broadway Brian]

Jeez it’s grim out there. Travel safe Robins.
