Will Newcastle sell out?

As Sky are showing the game and ST holders have to pay for Cup games it is unlikely that the match will be a sell out.

If it went to a replay and they got 35 k to add to our 20k I reckon with the FA getting their 10% after expenses it would still leave about a million to split. That might come in handy.

Would depend really, we got 30k v Blackburn (who had 200 fans there!) but that was a Saturday game. I reckon around the same, definitely more though if they lowered the price from £20.

We will have many more there than Blackburn did.

There only look like loads of tickets because the unsold STH seats are now on sale. Once word gets out, I'd expect them to sell fast.
 




Expect these to sell from Wednesday. The points needed now is 200 - that's still a decent figure without a ST. Can't be too many non STH's on 200 points.

However, Wednesday it's 100, however I also think those with 50 points will be in with a shout if they are fast!

There was always going to be a fair few ST seats become available. Think about how many are empty (1500 ish) for a league game - and that's when the STH don't have to pay any extra for their seat.

Big Premier League side at the AMEX on a SATURDAY??

Probably will beat the Liverpool record attendance to be honest.

I predict LFC will keep the record. Albion euphoria at that time, and LFC a massive draw.

For some reason, even in paying cup games, a big number of home fans, don't turn up every time.

Agreed - no reason for any empties as money would have only been handed over a few days ago, where as for the ST's it could be as much as a year ago!

22400 will be the crowd

Thats more than capacity. People on the rooftops?

There will no doubt be STH's wanting to sit in another area, which they weren't able to do until tonight.

Doh - 22300 - honest typo!

I may be wrong here but don't Newcastle get 15% of the ground, meaning some of the East stand will belong to them? This also means that some of the east stand seats will be divided. I doubt the attendance will reach 21,800 but all tickets will be sold (like every week).
 




the issue with the loyalty points is you suffer from a personal perspective and therefore feels unfair...I'd like to take my son (who is 6), i know that my mate who I sit next to in WSU isn't going. So logically to me they should just swap the ticket to a U10 and i am happy. However, it that is replicated with every ST holder that isn't going, then those without ST would get a sniff. Or you put all non ST tickets on sale straight away to non ST holders with loyalty points and allow some swapping amongst ST holders...oh f**k it eeesss complicated init

Your not kidding. I would give my right gonad to get another ticket for my Mrs. The only way I can do it is purchase mine, then Q up at the club shop Friday morning in the hope I can get two, then sell mine on.
