…is going to get pretty fucking tedious, isn’t it?

Was in a meeting at 10 so had tobget my sister to get them. Almost on the roof by the looks of things.

Just got an email back from Daniel in the ticket office saying all seats available in the 200 blocks have been sold and they don’t anticipate getting any more blocks there

Well if the FA are worried about aesthetics, then that would look shite with 2/3 the middle tier empty!! 

20K sold

The FA bollocks about making it look full on TV is ridiculous. 

i am sure it is something less tin hatty like opening up only what they need and reducing costs of running the matchday

Yes - its the same with any house - do it at the 02 all the time as well. It just managing allocations for costs, no one goes onsale with everything. Its an essential job.

Deffo looks more than that.

Now opened up to our 10th block in the upper tier 

Yeah looks like about a third of the upper tier sold so would imagine 23kish

It’s a little from both columns tbh

 

Craig Barnes delivers takeaway leaflets.     That comment made me chuckle .

Understand why they do it, but at the moment only seats at back of third tier available and these are all unsuitable for under 12s as standing permitted. Need to get extra blocks open. 
 

Edit - They must check on here as extra blocks now open 😎👍

It's mad how obsessed people become about the attendance. I'm happy for BWFC to share it every 5k, but apart from that, i dont really care. We've sold 20k, so it's going to be great anything from now. We're also going to have more than Stockport, so we've 'won' that nothing stat

I thought that but someone posted a conversation with ticket office where they said they were not part of our allocation. When asked if they would be available, they just replied ‘they are not part of our allocation. Can not see them being used by Club Wembley. It does seem strange to leave good seats empty. 

It may just be as simple as they know it won't be anywhere near a sellout (less than 45K~50K on), therefore, those may well be the "easiest" blocks to keep closed. It's a shame, as I sat there during the Plymouth game, and it was really good

Indeed, if we can get to 25K, then that'll be more than I think most sensible people thought it would be - and an all round great effort.

Although more fans doesn't mean a win.......I remember Tranmere, did we take 22K and they took about 8K.........Paul Comstive...Chris Malkin....🤢- Grim times!

Not on purpose but I've always well underestimated this in the past. I reckon a par figure will be 25k. IMO any less will be disappointing and we won't be massive. Closer to 30k will be a suprise.

Around 21.5k currently

I'm guessing all the Total injury news will drop as close to kick off as possible to keep Stockport guessing?

I'd expected him to be a bit more forthcoming on this one. It's not like Stockport are going to be building their gameplan around whether Toal plays or not.

Kenny pre-Bradford was a different story. He has a totally different style to any of our other forwards and we changed formation as a result of him being out.

This

with trains and the fact that Everton, Leeds and Newcastle all travelling to London same day, makes that effort of booking trains so much harder.

Also Carnage, I bet Police are rubbing there hands together with overtime!

They won’t have kept anything back for general, it just works in the selling order.

Don’t forget ‘football TM’ is just the system provider, entirely different arm to ‘concert TM’
