India Sell Out?

[Edmundo]

Well, my spies tell me that the club are hoping for a bumper crowd, perhaps into five figures.

If so, it could be a good night with a cracking atmosphere!

 

[Tommy69]

I'll be there with possibly 10 or more friends!

We don't have to buy tickets in advance do we?!

 

[squirebrown]

Do we get to sit in our seats even though we ain't got our season tickets yet?
Carn't wait to try mine out

Bargain!!

 

[Jim Rourke]

But should we buy tickets in advance?

 

[Tommy69]

Can I be the first to suggest that if (unlikely) they have to lock people out they give all those who get locked out vouchers for free tickets to a league match of their choice

I wonder which one people will go for ??

 

[Pearcey]

I've heard Brentford are expecting about 11,000 for this game. How many does GP hold?

 

[Edmundo]

About 12,500. What was the attendance when India played Fulham?

I cant remember Ed although I was there. I've a feeling it was a tad under 10,000. I'll check for you and get back to you.

 

[Edmundo]

While you're at it, what was the score and were they any good?

 

[Pearcey]

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Edmundo:

2-0 to us. They were a tidy side but basic. Might have improved though now and - with all due respect - are facing easier opposition.

Under 7,000 I've been told!

Yep I was thinking exactly the same. Could be yet another game at GP where the away fans outnumber the home one's!

Oi Premiership boy, just watch it with those yet another digs! Wait 'till you play ManUre

 

[Tommy69]

Well walking around Wembley today the place is absolutely PLASTERED with posters advertising:

CHEER INDIA in action against
Brentford July 24
Walsall
Leyton Orient
Notts Forest etc

£10 £5 £15

Literally everywhere you look there are more of these bright green posters!

Saw some in Feltham yesterday,and one in Hounslow too.

 

[GABS]

Not surprisingly some Indian workmates informed me that there are f-loads of the posters in Southall (AKA Little India).

I assume the BFC setup didn't put these up

!

 

[Bigbee]

Will Ealing Rd become the Take Away end for one night ?

" can I have a take away,can I have a take away ?" to the normal " is that all "etc

Yeah but, at least our fan base (albeit not the biggest in the world) mainly come from or have connections from Fulham unlike Man U!

Correct - you don't have the biggest fan base

Incorrect - lots of Man Ure fans come from Fulham and the West London Man Ure fans travel to Old Trafford with "Gaytime Coaches of Fulham" I believe

Still, at least you won't have trouble getting a ticket for it will you Pearcey, should be a nice day out for the travelling 400 or so

Only downside is that Al-Fayed will probably want to build a bigger and better stadium than Old Trafford after visiting, must be nice to have a chairman who supports his club financially

 

[Bees Bhoy]

Have the Indians been given more than the away end?

Or are we all going to be mixing?

With the recent unrest amongst our asian friends it could mean trouble!

3,100-ish actually...........!

 

[Edmundo]

It's a friendly, I'm sure the crowd won't be segregated and I think it's very unlikely there will be any trouble. To say that the riots in Bradford etc mean that there will be trouble at Griffin Park is rather thoughtless, IMVHO.

 

[Bees Bhoy]

It's only an opinion!

What does IMVHO stand for?

IMVHO = In My Very Humble Opinion.

What I'm trying to say is that I think it's not right to assume that Indians who live in West London will behave in the same way as a minority of the Asians in Bradford, Oldham etc did.

 

[Gaz_Thomas]

I reckon everyone in the brookie just to try it out !

 

[Tommy69]

The race riots oop north have not involved Indians, but instead mainly Pakistanis and Bangladeshis.

I'll be standing on the Ealing if its nice weather, otherwise probably New Rd or upstairs in Brook RD.

Shame you didnt take that many to Tranmere and the like last year isnt it

 

[EE]

I was told by the ticket office that there is no segregation and they haven't got a clue what sort of crowd to expect.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Brentford til i die:

without being pedantic, they had about 3,000 at Tranmere last year!, it was towards the title

run in...

I remember seeing a couple of hundred, a thousand at the very most behind the goal at Tranmere last year, the stand was empty nearly, i might be wrong though.

My sources tell me it was just over a 1,000. However, it was a Friday night I recall and on Sky TV.

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

well thats a big f%$%£in difference to 3,000 then isnt it Mr Chapman?????!!!!!!

lets not give foolham the 'big up' unless its statistically correct eh???

well done Pearcey for being honest.......
and while we're on the subject how about that magnificent support you had at stockport(must have been 300 at tops)back at the start of the year!!!!

 

[Gaz_Thomas]

It would of been a sell out if we played At Barnet !!
