Is anyone on here going to the game, everyone seems to be away! Absolutely buzzing. Watching the clock already, only slight worry is planning to get to the pub 4 hours before kick off which could be messy.

Thing that always make me smile about those clips is how people are proper up for it, right up until the moment they come up against that impenetrable 1m wide piece of netting.

They were fuming about a pitch invasion that actually did them a massive favour, they scored straight after. Showed a total lack of class that night.

Love Bramall Lane have to say. As 'proper' a football ground as you'll get.

Worst part is how people are actually making excuses for other clubs and their dogshit attendances. But but but Blackburn's owners! Derby something something! Point out that our (much higher) gate, would have been higher still had it not been for TV and kick off time etc and it's all bullshit...

Why? Looking increasingly likes it's going to be an excellent turn out all things considered. I reckon it will be rocking too.

Indeed. Looked a very poor crowd at Derby too. After all this angst, we'll probably have the biggest crowd of the weekend (although Sheff United should get a decent gate).

Says 9K here Stoke City - Reading | 7 Aug 2021 .. could be a mistake but looks a lot less than 19K on that video.

Stoke have it at 9000 on their own website. Doesn't look like 20K

Sky have it at 9000 also. Could be PA error.

Blackburn have sold less than 6000 season tickets I think.

Eh? There are loads. More than can be explained by ST holders not turning up etc. Clearly not sold the 9,500 tickets available which is surprising.

It was a facepalm moment when I read those comments, but it was about 7 out of 133,000 twitter followers I suppose The Dulwich fans who replied weren't much better, 'yeah but we're bigger than Cov tho innit' - the fucking state of it, the whole episode a perfect example of why twitter just...

They sold their allocation a few days before the game and a good while after they went on general sale, so they were hardly queuing round the block for them at that time. I suspect pretty much everyone who wanted a ticket for the game got one. You're not going to get ticketless fans travel for...

Ah, a remake of the classic 1889 shirt, Don't usually get too giddy about kit releases, but that's class.

Not even Bristol City can get away with that, not historically anyway.

Fair enough, didn't pick up on that! My bad. I was eating a kebab at the time and most of my attention was focused on that tbf.

Get what? I have been arguing all week that people's expectations are to high for this game; I have been agreeing with you on that. But to claim we'll only get 12K every week in this division, and that nobody outside of that 12K gives a shit about the club, doesn't qualify as grown up...

Think everyone gets that, and it makes perfect sense where demand outstrips supply. For Barnsley though, supply will outstrip demand, so odd that they enforced it for this game (unless Barnsley are for some reason are limiting the max allocation for this game of course).

Yep, make utterly batshit predictions like that and expect to be called out on it.
