...according to Paul Barber on SCR.

It'll be a sell out.

good

 

[Ali_rrr]

Lets hope so. I personally am not going unless I can still get a ticket after Christmas. Should be a good game though.

 

[smeariestbat]

dont worry everyone, i'm going so its all good

 

[countryman]

I'm bringing a plastic Manc with me. Hopefully he will be converted.

 

[Wilko]

Are we expecting the new seats to be ready by then?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Interesting ..both the 2 guys next to me aren't going and a few others I know..father Xmas has bought mine

 

[seagullondon]

I am going Just so I can willy wave on ITV to all those fans staying at home

 

[severnside gull]

cannot possibly be a decent crowd when the great and good of NSC have declared otherwise........ how dare you suggest that they could have got it wrong or - dare one say it - over reacted

 

[Ali_rrr]

It probably will be, as it's Premier League and other fans who reckon they wouldn't be able to get a ticket will. Expect it to sell out just before Christmas/next week.

A useless reminder to the moaners that, if you don't fill your seat, someone else will...

Precisely

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

I listened last night and thought he said we were on course to sell over 20,000. Slightly different?

 

[Wozza]

Meant 'useful', obviously. Too early...

I thought 'useless' worked just as well!!!

 

[red star portslade]

What do you expect him to say? " i've f***ed up the ticketing for this game, to date we've sold 6, 000 tickets" like a previous poster said, on course and selling are very different. Playing mind games, i'd say.

 

[Albion Dan]

On course to sell 20k is very different and would be an embarrasing attendance. Almost a third of the ground empty against big Premier league opposition.

7 of our 10 season tickets not being taken because of the price and being on TV. Im going to wait till near the day and see if I fancy the trek down from London.

You've got ten season tickets? Wow!

 

[Meade's Ball]

He says we are heading towards 20,000 already, with three weeks to go. That seems to mean that it is approaching 20,000 sales now, with still plenty of time to go.
I think that the game is on tv and that many a season ticket holder can live without a glamour tie live might well have different bums on seats and perhaps less of an atmosphere than usual, but that's no bad thing. Demand should grow with a half-decent performance and a satisfying experience for new visitors to the ground. I'll be sat on my couch with a cold brew and a giant bowl of doritos and cannae wait for that either.
