Preston Tickets Sold Out!

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

the towel thing is common in the US, particularly ‘football’ (NHL and college). We’re not talking full beach towels here, just a commemorative item you’re supposed to wave above your head

Penn State Univeristy is deeply addicted to white towel waving as an example:

Only sporadic single tickets left folks, nearly every single part of the ground has been available to purchase except NU1 (Which is shared with WU13), NU2, 1/2 of NU3, NL1 and 1/2 of NL2. If a few more come online I would think it would be some seats in NU1, with the West Stand used for the entrance and facilities.

Cant wait for the towel twirling
Cha cha cha

I have a feeling all those seats will be taken for this match, even if it’s not the actual season ticket holder, friends and family will be on the look-out!

My mate's having mine. Lucky bugger.

Many moons ago we could only dream of getting 20,000 fans to watch the mighty Swans. I was thrilled with the 8,000 plus crowd we had v Stoke City when Legg scored the worldly v Bruce. We had 7,400 v Carlisle when all the local sport was cancelled over Christmas. Getting 20,000 people through the door is fabulous for the club. We haven’t been promoted for 15 years (8 years in the Prem of course) and have now become stagnant. This marketing is brilliant.

I don’t disagree with any of that and times have changed. Gates used to be about success on the pitch or the first few games for a bigger signing not a rapper from across the pond. Just an observation

The origin of towel waving in professional sports is widely attributed to Myron Cope, the iconic broadcaster for the Pittsburgh Steelers. In 1975, as the Steelers prepared for a key playoff game, Cope suggested that fans bring gold towels to the stadium to create a united display of enthusiasm. This idea birthed the “Terrible Towel,” which quickly became a symbol of pride and motivation. Cope’s strategy wasn’t just clever—it was revolutionary. It gave fans a new way to participate and empowered them to boost the team’s morale on a massive scale.

Sounds a bit gay to me.

At least it will keep my swede dry

Let's hope for 4 outcomes... a win and 3 points, a Widdel goal, new fans who come to other games and get hooked and putting away fans in the NW corner becomes regular.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Undoubtedly it’s bonkers what has happened for this match and I can see your point of view. However, around 12,000 to 15,000 out of the 20,000 are there solely for the football, week in week out. If the extra numbers for this match acts as a catalyst for new followers they have achieved what they are trying to do.

Absolutely
