I won't make any predictions on away gates again.

If we can get 15k plus in the home end it'll be a good atmosphere

I am not sure Rose and Hyam will get through 90mins. They’re still catching up on fitness.

Even with 20000 I anticipate chaos as 10000 of them will be incapable of putting a ticket into a scanner and then sitting in the seat that's numbered on their ticket.

You aren't convinced by our top goalscorer last season?

Think there needs to be a bit of reality around the type of players we have, they all have different attributes. Walker is probably a better poacher/finisher than Gyrokes and Waghorn (despite that miss against Wolves). It's all going to depend on the opposition, I still feel however that as the season goes on, a Waghorn + Walker combination would be strong.

Not sure there is anybody else we would be confident playing? Drysdale obviously played last night, Craine and Souare haven't signed as yet and likely wouldn't be any better fitness-wise, and Pask is seemingly on his way.

Hyam should be okay given he played the majority of the match on Sunday. I agree Rose might be blowing, so he might only last 60/70 but it's all going to depend on how the game is going i guess!

There's not really many more options, hopefully we'll have a few more in by time the transfer window closes

I won't be sitting in my seat. I wanted to move but that won't be possible now so I'll sit as close to where I wanted to move to as I can get.

Agree it will be a good atmosphere on this occasion, but a large gate doesnt necessarily correspond to a good atmoshphere as we know.

As for predictions i think we will average around 17.5k with no dramas season.

15k category B/C games.

20K Category A Games.

I think you will find one, there will still be 12000 empty seats.

I'd be very surprised if it wasn't.

The only possible change I could see would be Cranie in for one of Hyam/Rose (if he signs).

Would think so if Cranie doesn’t sign Wilson, Decosta Shipley, Allen, Walker, Bright, Drysdale, Cranie/Hyam possibly Godden & Kelly if fit then the likes of Burroughs, Howley, Bapaga bit stronger than last season.

That's OK because you are a ST holder and understand that if you are in someone else's seat you should move.
My problem is with the occasional fan who thinks it doesn't matter where anyone sits.

I must say i am shocked at how sparse behind the goal is looking. thought there would be a good 4k in there. Looks a little over 1500 at a push

To be fair I think there will be a couple thousand walk up... So hopefully it will creep up towards 4k!

If that, I think just about 1,000

Not necessarily shocked though, TV & price will have put a really big dent in things.

If you're looking to get 20k home fans for any cov match this season then you're talking about attracting maybe about 6k 'more casual' supporters- and its on TV, and big cost.

Ive managed to drag 3 up with me Sunday, behind the goal.

Which worries me a bit because i think the atmosphere in that stand is going to be shit

I think you might be right as things stand.

However pretty much all of the walkup is probably going to end up in there, so you never know

Think you might see more people buying tickets on Saturday. Also, there isn't a matchday increase in price so there is no real incentive to buy in advance

I hope it fills out. We always say we need new fans and 2 of the 3 im taking up have never been before. A good atmosphere in there would go a long way to getting them hooked

Would expect to see a few more go on Friday also, those who are paid weekly

I still wish they'd have opened block by block.

I guess during the pandemic and the anxieties some still have, it may not have been fair on those.

Thankfully the corner looks relatively full, as does the rest of the stand. Also noticed how busy the lower tier seems.
