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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

£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.

Yes, it was for the area final, at this stage they got 15K against Norwich.

I doubt it is true though, it would have been announced. I imagine they would do it for the next round though and probably a few league games, would be silly not too. As a member you would get priority anyway.

There is a limit to how many they will give to one club though because of segregation, I think it is about 45K which is what Southampton took to the JPT and that is a record for a single club at the new Wembley. I've been at Wembley with 60K City fans so am confident we can sell 45K, but anyone...

The record for this stage of the competition is 15K so we won't beat that. That figure doesn't include away fans, although they are only bringing about 400.

We've sold around 8K not including Preston, but they won't be bringing many. Still a day and a half to go and then pay on the gate (around 3000 did that last time). Not sure if that will be repeated, but decent gate on the cards nonetheless considering its televised.

You could sign up for an account at thebox.bz - there should be a torrent available for download a few hours after the game, but to be on the safe side I would make a request on there and someone will almost certainly do it for you.

No, the CET is closed. I mean that last time, only the East stand was open, this time they are also fully opening the Lloydspharmacy stand. Two stands :facepalm:

The default position of most leftists when asked to explain why all communist revolutions seem to end in failure (usually following a popular uprising), is to simply say that they were not true to orthodox marxism - a cop out. Of course they weren't, there is not a single example anywhere of...
