Target 11,000

Personally I thought that 7,000 for such an important game was disappointing. That means just over 6,000 Bees turned up and County's effort, considering what was at stake, was pretty poor. Putting my tin hat on, to avoid the flack, I think the whole match lacked in atmosphere for the majority of the game. I have my own theory as to why the atmosphere is poor at GP, and that boils down to the dugouts being moved moved to the other side of the pitch and the fact that the away end is in the wrong place. In an ideal world we should give away supporters 2,000 seats in New Road, close to the Ealing Road end. Both ends would then belong to to Bees creating a better home atmosphere. Won't happen unless a separate entrance could be made for away supporters.

Two home ends is very non league, all you'd get is people walking round to the end where we are attacking in each half. I like tradition of having away fans behind the goal. Off the top of my head the only grounds in league one who do this are notts county and rochdale. Granted, the views for away fans are much better but all you can get are home ends both neither full and both lacking in atmosphere.
 

Target 11,000

I'm all over the poor atmosphere being directly linked to the change in location of the dug outs. Impossible to prove of course but just a gut feeling. The Paddock seems unsure of its role.

sadly i dont anymore.our support home and away has been poor this season.There wasnt much more home fans against county than our average so i dont see us taking 1500 up there
The atmosphere was boring against county considering the run we've had and that it was a massive massive game for us,the biggest for a long time.
i left the ground,after very decent performance and not a bad result at all,with the admission that we are now a small club,the fact our fans rely on away numbers to try and big up an attendance says it all for me

Bugger, you are righter than I thought sir, terrible to have only sold 800 so far for Saturday when on general sale now. Was hoping not to be able to get one for our end but feel obliged now. Broken Brentford. I blame the gpg. The gpg is like piles to Brentford FC. Or at least the clap. :cry:

Stevenage tickets will be sold.
The doomers are still sulking and think its all over.
Come Friday, they'll be sending their mums to GP to get their ticketslol

I still predict a chaotic day at Stevenage:bound::banana::thetruth::banghead::moo:

Is there a decent boozer in the vicinity??? Fancy a sing song before hand?? (others can come too)

Different end of a different league, but Bristol City offered tickets at £10 on Easter Monday. 19,000+ support turned up opposed to the 12,000 they've been getting, on average.

Target 11,000 would have been a lot more achievable had the club taken the risk to reduce ticket prices. Is this still too late for the Shef Weds game?

Exactly. Good idea by Bristol - certainly worked by the sound of things. They won't do Sheff weds due to it being last home game of season, crucial game but next season you would hope some of the bright sparks could come up with soem good ideas regarding crowd attendances.

What ever happened to that hole in the fence behind the Royal Oak? I haven't seen it since the 70s. Putting that back is the only way I can see Target 11000 working :pop:.

Target 11,000 was a BIAS article, not a club initiative. It would not make commercial sense to reduce ticket prices for a game like Sheffield Wednesday, would it?

When I was 9 or 10 I remember climbing through that with some mates after we'd been swimming at Brentford Pool. We made our way down to the front of the Royal Oak just in time to see us miss a penalty & then immediately escaped climbing back out the same hole!

Why "escaped"? The club didn't demand a ticket to let you back out of the ground

Have we ever taken over Underhill? I was in their end with about 40 others back in the day when Kelly Haag played for them but that was quite simply a gay thing to do as it was Barnet?
Barnet can't be considered for this supposed takeover IMO, nor Dagenham or any other tiny non-league type outfit. Plough Lane was also exempt IMO, we used to wander down there and look massive in numbers but we were dealing with a nothing team at the time.
