48 dots left, all single tickets.

So around 28.7K home tickets? Basing that on the 31.5K crowd for Middlesbrough last season less the 2.8K away alloc.

 

[Paxman II]

It perturbs me that these int' breaks have come too often as we are only 9 games in! Whatever momentum we established could be ruined. I really hope not, and FL has them focussed and ready to carry on where we left off.
Field our strongest side if fit regardless of the last game performances from the likes of Eccles etc.
Torp is a goal threat, Eccles is not. We should have enough with Simms starting up front with EMC out wide left. Wright will feel a bit jet lagged and should be off the bench. Some concern about DaSilva being a little leggy from Int' duty, can Bidwell put in a performance?

If the momentum is there, we should win easily enough.

Bluenoses were allocated 2,744

You could say it helps us with having a smaller squad. Hard to know, but I don't think FL will let them take the foot off

They opened the ticket exchange for the last few games last season once it had sold out

I think this will be a tough game. They’ll try to sit back. If we score early we could well give them a good hiding but could also be like the Norwich game, hope not

Dasilva played 6 minutes in Cardiff on Monday. If he's leggy come Saturday he may as well retire from professional football.

Blackburn will probably only half fill the away end.

Yeah I know. So we should be looking at 30K.

I think the best bet against us is to fight fire with fire instead of sitting back. Last season sitting in was the way to go, I don’t think it is anymore.

They've sold close to their allocation. I'm not sure what that empty block in the middle means? So it looks like they've almost sold 6,7,9.
