You'll have to have at least one extra shredded wheat for that to happen. In the 270 minutes you've played against us this season you've had about 5 decent efforts on goal.

Yes, noted you were sat down. Not often you see that nowadays, away followings tend to stand. Then again, you do see it with the more happy clappy clubs where there are lots of daytrippers. Did you take your half n' half scarf?

We will have taken getting on for 9000 to County in 6 weeks. Surely, if you're trying to troll you wouldn't lead with fan numbers. That won't end well. Not the sharpest tool are we fella?

Agree. It's perfectly right to say that we are where we deserve to be (right now), but equally it's legitimate to say we should expect better given the history etc. No contradiction in that.

They really are quite annoying. Not usually bothered by this sort of silly pre-game nonsense, but they have really got under my skin. Snivelling and bitter. If they go through I just hope they fail at Wembley. They seem genuinely convinced they're going up.

I need to get into the netting business judging by the pictures just posted on twitter. Noted also that both Scunthorpe and Rotherham fans spilled onto the pitch today. I doubt either set of fans will lose any sleep* *Not that I'm condoning it, but don't really understand all the...

It looks about right to me. First 3 rows netted off, and loads of seats in 25, 26 and 27 have been reserved for POTG and haven't actually been sold. Slightly less than last week seems about right.

That 87/88 season we had 11th highest average, but I often remember laughing at the attendance figures. Some serious tax fiddling went on that season. Man U had 29K for a PL game in 92/93 (their first title winning season in an age). Chelsea 8K. Comparisons with gates through to 80s into the...

The lowest season average we were third from bottom (92/93). Same the season after (but capacity was only 17K as we only had 3 sides of the ground open). After that there were always 3-5 clubs below us - including the likes of Leicester and Derby.

That never actually happened iirc (edit: it happened twice). In Division 1 yes, not in the PL. Those gates were of the time anyway - Chelsea has 8,000 at home against us in the PL in 94/95 (could have been 93/94). Our last 4 seasons in the PL it was 20K+. All that said, the gate tomorrow...

The OP is correct, play-off attendances are often not much above the league average. Expectations were way too high. It should also be noted, that our average attendance this season is up on last term. Not many predicted that. We shouldn't be too hard on ourselves. Our gate will be the...

That might happen, then again if you were doing that many away games chances are you'd be attending with the same people anyway. Like I say, this is common elsewhere and works fine. We had this system in the 90s, although in those pre-internet days they'd add a stamp to the spare pages on your...

No, that's not how they work. Priority is given to ST holders with say 10+ stamps/points, then 5+, then just season ticket holders and so on (just as an example). It would only apply for very high demand games. Englandfans works like this and many clubs employ this kind of priority system. If...

Points systems are used at many clubs, and we had one many seasons ago (tickets were allocated based on 'stamps'). There have been many games this season where tickets sold in a few hours - Lincoln, Luton, Exeter, Cheltenham, Forest Green, Brighton and next week. It makes sense to have a...

I guess people think of occasions like Crewe and Gillingham and perhaps expected a similar response. I didn't personally. Everyone who wanted a Wembley ticket last year got one. It's on TV, it's full price and it's one week on from our biggest gate of the season, which may have put a few of...

Tickets available again for those still trying..

Really? The 12 I got were on 6 season tickets, but if I'd known that I'd could have filled my boots.

Only one with a desk job so I always end up getting for loads of people. No pressure!

12 purchased. Website very responsive this morning, expected to have issues but all done very quick.

Think we're being a bit dramatic. There were 12 in our group for the league game, we were in Nottingham at 10am. This time round we're all going by cars at different times after work. Train times are tight, especially if there is extra time so not many will do that. I don't expect any major...
