Lostock Whites Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 So having taken a look there's probably what, around half of the away end that's not sold yet in the whole stadium? Not sure how many Cambridge have sold but my guess is less than 1,000 So wouldn't that indicate about at least 26,000+ sold? Surely will surpass the Derby gate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwfc2003 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Unless you want to sit on your own looks like only about 40 tickets left and they are in South stand EL2 Surely they must be thinking of opening up the remaining 2 blocks in SSL?

Need to generate some noise from the off and get behind the lads. Some tired legs may need a boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my memory serves me right, when we played Blackburn and there was 33,000 on, i think it was our only home league defeat of the season, 0-1. We need to make sure we turn up on Monday in front of another fantastic crowd, which im sure we will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its been bad for us at times , but would not have it any other way Thought about this occasionally over the last 22 years, remember taking the kids to the park the day after we had won against Preston at Cardiff. Had a brief exchange of views with a Preston fan who was there with his kids, he wasn’t very complementary about us and said we were lucky to have won. A few times since I’ve wondered how the two teams would have fared had the result been different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, never felt we would lose it all through the game. Remember Matt Clarke making one good save and they had a bit of pressure but having rickets on the bench and like you say we played with a bit of class, as the last two goals showed.

We did all we needed to do from memory. We finished miles ahead of em in the league too. PNE are a strange breed. Of all the local rivals they probably register the least on par with fleetwood or altrincham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily we drove over to France after the match for a weeks holiday so missed any animosity that could have come my way. We were sat near the segregation in the upper tier. My wife, who never goes to a match, leaned over me after we scored pointing and shouting “you’re not singing anymore” I never took her again.😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the game back the other week , we were the better team but they had a good chance at 0-0. A header. Then Matt Clarke made a good save. Our 2 late goals flattered us IMO. The joy on Nats face the end was brilliant. Sharon was similar last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a repeat of last weekend with the team more than matching the fans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Can’t see them opening any more sections. Surely too short notice for staff, stewards and presumably coppers? Could easily be wrong mind Superb looking at the seat map for a Div 3 game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the last laugh though going up as champions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
