I got 3 tickets for the family after the game yesterday (next my season ticket which was great!) and the chap in the ticket office reckoned 15000-16000.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Gillingham attendance prediction

I think Gillingham might surprise people with their away support.
Gills fan I know reckoned at least a thousand
Not sure it'll be THAT surprising, but then again Crawley have managed to dig out over a thousand for Selhurst, and Gills' other away games this season include Accrington, Morecambe, Plymouth and Torquay, so perhaps they might relish a short trip to a decent stadium.

Be great if Gills brought enough to make some noise.
Those who are predicting 10k are wildly out! There is over 10k sold already, if you allow for the 2500 1901 and say 500 Gills. WSU has about 400 seats left, as does the North. So that's 5500, WSL is about half sold (2000) as is the East (2500), so I think as long as 1901 ers attend, we are already on 13k.
I expect (actually I hope) for brisk sales today as many STH's will realise they cannot wait 2 weeks to go back to the Amex after an amazing day yesterday

Hmmm, this article suggests tickets will not be sold for Gills after 8pm tomorrow evening?

Guy in ticket office Saturday said that with Gills sales, he expects the figure to be around 16500.

I miss read. 100% correct!!!
Does anyone know what time the ticket office will remain open to on the day of the match?
I know all our games are all ticket, but this mean you could buy one from the Amex ticket office at 1930?

Another block just gone onto limited availability. Expecting W3H, W3C, W3B, E1C, W1C, N1A, N1D all to be limited by lunchtime. There aint many tickets in those blocks left

Its amazing, it really is . Here we are, discussing(arguing)about possible crowd attendances of between 10 and 15,000 for a FIRST ROUND Carling Cup match. Last year it would have been between 3 and 5,000 ...tops !
I think weve forgotten where we were only a year ago .... what a difference a year makes.

Trying to book my ticket online, just keeps saying its unavailable, so tried calling the ticket line and I was 45th in the queue, I'm at work so cannot wait that long.
Seems like it will be decent gate on this evidence!

The reason for the queue on the phone is because Pompey has just gone on general sale.
You must be doing something wrong online. Are you buying more than one ticket? If so, be sure to select the correct person in the drop down box. By default all tickets are the same person (daft) so you need to change to the other person.
I know, coz same thing happened to me!

Amazing indeed - I was at Northampton this time last year where we had nearly 30% of the crowd with a thousand or so wearing the stripes. We put our reserves out that night and even if we did the same tomorrow (we wont) it would be a vastly stronger side.
Have to admit to nerves as it will be my first Amex experience and with grandkids in tow and a 650 mile return journey in prospect I'm hoping for a smooth transition back to Brighton Station after the game. The bigger the crowd the less chance of that but what the hell - the more the merrier so I will predict a late surge in ticket sales and a 17K attendance. Stunning!
Start backtracking, the online site is showing some limited availability now, which suggests it's going to be over 10k.
I'm thinking 15k.

Chap: look at the stadium plan, and have a look what is available. We are already on about the figure you predict!

I can't WAIT, and I don't think I've EVER thought that about a game against Gillingham before (nor will again 
).
