Just reading their ticket details for 2nd  leg at Bradford.

Looks like they are having both stands behind both goals - savvy move from them. Also having the two blocks (F&G) we had last week.

All seats available to home supporters in the Kop, North West Corner, Morrisons Family Stand, TL Dallas Community Stand and the Bradford Lifts Stand (blocks F and G) will be unreserved, enabling City fans to occupy both goals.
 

Probably just giving us the nominal 2k in the other corner? (A, B, C ?)

The recent history of our side letting us down on the big stage in front of big crowds is the concern. Regardless of where they’re from. Composure doesn’t run through them especially in hostile environments

Agreed. Plus there’s no way we’re selling 25k home tickets for the first leg even at £20 a pop.

That's some statement. 

Our play of game at home to Barnsley was rammed iirc.

Find me the correlation between the best supported and best performing teams away from home. We're one of the best followed teams in the division and we barely won a game away for the first half the season. We've taken less points on the road this season than Mansfield Town. Meanwhile the runaway league champions average 9k at home and brought about 250 here.

The Barnsley game was a second leg where we'd won the first game and were big favourites to secure a trip to Wembley. This is a first leg where nothing will be decided, it's difficult for kids to go and people will choose to watch in the pub rather than disrupt their Saturday night out with a trip to Middlebrook.

Pointless arguing about how many tickets we will or won't sell. But I'd be surprised if we require any more space (and therefore segregation) than yesterday when the attendance was over 2k more than Barnsley in '23.

It'll be full.

Crowd given that night was 24518, so about 3k under capacity for home fans.

Don’t get me wrong, would love to see it full - just think that even with our amazing support this season 25k home fans is a stretch.

You keep avoiding the question about where you put the extra 500 tickets. The point I keep making is that grounds have to segregated. Once we give them top tier the only options are the whole stand or half bottom tier. Unless we move season ticket holders. 

We'll have about 23k on in my opinion.

I've already covered this. The attendance was 25.5k yesterday, over 2k higher than the last first leg playoff game. There's plenty of room in those segregated areas for all the tickets we'll likely sell.

The chances of us needing more than half of the South Lower vs us getting 500 extra away tickets would be a no brainer.

.. wrong thread

Has our allocation been announced for this? And when tickets go on sale?

It'll be around the 2k mark; we've given them 2051.
I expect they'll go on sale on Thursday.

Booo. Then it’s fastest finger first.

They have sold just under 14k so far for this leg.

Fair play to them trying to get a good atmosphere going for the game at their gaff .   i wonder if we are doing summat similar?

Would you go in home end if only way to get a ticket ?

It'd be dicey there that's for certain.

Sit on your hands and get to know some Bradford songs.

Yes

Said I'd do it if we got Stevenage as I have an SG postcode and purchase history so it wouldn't be a problem

In their West Upper equivalent yes 

Nobhead corner maybe not

nah, if we lose and you are surrounded by people celebrating, wouldn't be the nicest of experiences. Would rather just watch at home
