    Queuing for Crewe Away Tickets!

    Not really. There are a number of reasons why people need to get them in person. I had to get some for corporate st holders today, and you cannot do that online. Usually you would ring up and reserve them, but because the club announced tickets were going on sale today on Saturday night...

    9,500 tickets sold JPT Crewe

    That is 2 sides of their ground though, unrealistic to expect more. We'd could sell a lot more than 4k for this. The 2300 will sell tomorrow morning in under 2 hours I reckon.

    9,500 tickets sold JPT Crewe

    I think that's right (i.e will happen if demand is there) but the other option is feasible. Crewe seem convinced they won't sell more than 1200-1300, so I am sure we'd open up those blocks if needed.

    9,500 tickets sold JPT Crewe

    Exactly, if Spurs and Arsenal can move thousands for us in the cup, I am sure we could move a couple of hundred!

    Crewe away leg.

    Yes, it's about demand obviously. There is perhaps a case of reintroducing it again. This is the third time this season where demand has outstripped supply (Yeovil, Spurs & Crewe) and it might happen again at Walsall on Easter Monday and Notts County last game if we're still in the mix...

    9,500 tickets sold JPT Crewe

    ST holders have till the close of play Wednesday to reserve their seats, so if you haven't got a ticket yet, might be worth waiting until Wednesday evening because a couple of thousand seats will become available in the more popular areas of the ground. That's what people I know are planning...

    Crewe away leg.

    Not strictly true. We used to have an away stamps system, it ran for years but stopped about 5 seasons ago, and to qualify for a stamp you had to first to be a ST holder. First few years you had a little book they physically stamped but later on it was all computerised. Obviously, if you...

    Crewe away leg.

    People seem confident of getting tickets tomorrow, can only assume they are getting there stupidly early. It will be a right scrum for tickets tomorrow, trust me, people in sleeping bags and hordes sat at their PC in their pants hitting the refresh button at 9am tomorrow.

    Carlisle away

    Around 400 I was told last night. Still think they'll be 500-600 up there Sunday which isn´t too bad.

    I hope it's Bradford in the area final ...

    Crewe for me too. Fancy us against them over two legs. Limited allocation though.

    This club is in my blood

    I haven't seen the Ricoh go that apeshit for a good while. Great scenes.

    Am I the only one that thought that was a good performance??

    Preston had two efforts on goal all game. Scrappy affair at times, be we looked a threat and I thought we deserved the win overall.

    Those who attend tonight will have priority...

    Thanks for confirming that. You're not on you own though, there are plenty of others who like nothing more than to talk down the size of the club and therefore its potential, often reminiscing about attendances that never happened. We have the 20th highest all time average gate in England, but...

    Yep, and which is stronger, 'new stadium fever' or 'promotion to the premiership' fever. The fact our highest average of the last 33 years came in the 2nd tier suggests we wouldn't have too much to worry about if were to do what we haven't done in 42 years and finish in the top 6 (twice in...

    And back up to 21K by 2006.

    What? You 'reckon'? Why would you do any reckoning when average attendance stats are so easy to find: 96/97 19625 97/98 19718 98/99 20773 99/00 20809 00/01 20582 It's all pointless debating it. Different eras. We once averaged 34,000 in division one, but it is meaningless now, as is the...

    And? Leicester didn't sell out Filbert Street in the PL all that regularly either at about the same time, but when they returned following a promotion at the Walkers they got 30K every week. Anyway, we averaged almost 21K at HR in the final few PL seasons and the ground only held 22.5K - so it...

    Those people don't really understand the football club, or football for that matter, and I suspect many of them aren't very old.

    Tickets sold for tonight

    £20-£30 fuel from MK? You driving a Hummer? Fair play for your commitment. Anyone who comes more than 40 miles to a televised game deserves a prize, a complimentary scotch egg or something like that.
