Oml!! The police made it all ticket!! End of!!!
i heard that only plymouth season ticket holders could buy a ticket for this game , which explains their poor turnout.A JPT first round game wouldn't normally attract much of a crowd, but much better attendance last year for the same fixture at Gnome Park.
Very poor away support for the Gargoyles.
Would have been a more "exciting" atmosphere if we'd been away in Plymuff for this one...
Ok, fair point. I'm not aware of the prices ...the prices were even reduced so there's no way it's down to fans not wanting to turn up.
I think you've got it spot on Rae. The imposed ticket regime didnt help, because a lot of people (particularly older people) confronted with trying to work out how to actually get a ticket probably said f*ck this for a lark, and decided they wouldnt bother!Was a low turnout solely because of the imposed ticketing regime? Or was it just one factor of several? A lot of home games in one month, a tough economic climate where a lot of people just can't afford not to pick and choose, a rival who is no longer the big club they thought they were, etc etc ...
For once i agree with you Pete.I think you've got it spot on Rae. The imposed ticket regime didnt help, because a lot of people (particularly older people) confronted with trying to work out how to actually get a ticket probably said f*ck this for a lark, and decided they wouldnt bother!
I also feel that this game had very little appeal, for the reasons you've touched on. I would add that this competition is probably more of an irritant than anything else, when its plainly evident that unless Tisdale seriously tries at the very least to get three players in who can hit the ground running, we're going to struggle to stay in League One this season. Make of it what you will, but we were supposed to win this game by a cricket score! What happens? it goes to f*cking penalties! I dont think Tisdale knows where to start to sort this bunch out for the weekend.
I know a lot of people on here dont have the balls to accept reality (except ********), and like to suggest 'its going to be a long old season' but then add 'but in tiz we trust' but I think the man has a mountain to climb this season, if we're to pull away from the bottom four.
But it does seem strange that a match which attracted three men and a dog should have been all ticket. I reckon hundreds more would have attended if they could have just showed up at the gate. Didn't the cops have any idea that only a catttlewagon-full of Ourgirlies would show up?Blaming it on the ticketing system is so blinkered. There's more to it than just that.
The ticketing for Liverpool was similar and we sold out.
