I make it 570.
I dont think it will be a sell out but will be close. If we have any tickets left I think the club should give them to the local TA's or Air Cadets as we dont have a local squadron.


.... if we have to give tickets away, let's do it on the basis of those who can't afford to attend games.  I'd give them to the jobless, but this would be impossible to administer I guess.  So - keep it simple and just re-introuduce a-quid-a-kid for the remaining few hundred.

I just counted 582 left so maybe you need a new calculator :-)

As Gareth mentioned on the OS the total displayed when you hovver over a block is not always accurate. You need to go inside the block and count the seats in claret to get an accurate figure. As at 12:20 there are circa 657 seats available but if you take the numbers from the 'hovver display' you get 555. Block 9 in the East Stand is the biggest culprit as all 81 seats are available but it shows 0 on a hovver display.

Agreed. Bugger the military! I'd hand them out to people who work in old peoples homes myself

I think it's easy to underestimate how unattractive a Thursday night kick off is for many people. Add in the ease of watching it at home on Sky and it's actually quite pleasing that with a day or so left to sell tickets there are less than 1,000 home tickets left, of which 400 wouldn't normally be available thanks to our opponents.

you're right. For someone like me living in sleepy Suffolk and teaching Thursday night is impossible. As it is, if we make Wembley I'll have to pull a sickie as we have Saturday school.

Final is a 1.30 kick off, just to add to the fun.

I reckon tomorrow nights gate will be approx 6,800. About 400 empty seats in the South Stand and a couple of hundred in the home areas.

Cheltenham reckon they have sold about 600 out of 900 for the South stand so far,so out of 1300 tickets that were made available to them they have struggled to sell half of them.
 Out of approx 6200 tickets available to home fans at start of sales, about 6000 have been sold, good effort.
Looks like a crowd of 6,600/6,700 then Grin

I think that could make a real difference tonight - lots of empty seats in the away end and packed out and noisy from the home sections - I'm already planning how to get through tomorrow with no voice.

I hope there's considerably more atmosphere than at the Barnet game. At Vale I was losing my voice after 10 minutes! And my hands were sore from all the clapping.

Totally amazed that we can't sell all of our tickets, very disappointing.

Its all well and good slating them, but our away game is on a Sunday, theirs on a midweek with only a few days notice to book time off work. I would say its a worse effort on our part not being able to sell all of our home leg tickets. Ground expansion?Huh? Really!! When we can't sell out our biggest game in years. Ok, I know thats not the point, and certain games would sell out and the development is more about getting use out of the ground 365 days a year, but still, its a shame we can't sell this game out. 6,800 max with seats being taken by Sky
