I was going to superimpose Lee Burge's face on little Damien there, but then remembered he's not very confident with crosses.Is this him?

I'm not really sure where the expectations of massive crowds come from. Our historical high average home gate is 21k at the Ricoh, often made up of 2k or more away fans.
20k home fans would be excellent really. If it sold out like that Chelsea game, you'd be looking at record gate receipts for a CCFC game I bet.
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 the casuals off as it was pretty desperate. I think the home turnout will be about the same as last week.
On gate receipts, the way they work it for playoffs is a joke. We get 12.5% of the cumulative gate receipts for the 4 games, so will only receive revenues from about 7000 people.
Think of the memories you and your dad are making and sharing. Priceless.Football is expensive , me and dad worked out we had spent 2000 this season between us (based on averages ) could well be more .
That’s before food and drink
Tell me about it. Nearly £400 on season ticket and shirt before anything else then away tickets on top, 200 miles petrol for every home game. Food and drink. I'd be much better off if it wasn't for this bloody club. I do love it though.Football is expensive , me and dad worked out we had spent 2000 this season between us (based on averages ) could well be more .

They really should get those blocks behind the goal on sale.Looks like we've barely sold any today?
Even just 27 and 28 would probably make a difference.They really should get those blocks behind the goal on sale.
Think we are relying on a big walk up now for this to get anywhere near 20k.Looks like we've barely sold any today?

Yes should of made it 5pm or a Friday night game.I didn’t think we’d sell out but predicted 25k
Seems a long way off now, hopefully get 20k
Telly, affordability and late ko taken its toll I guess.
Looks like about 12.5/13k Max sold so far. Plus what Notts have sold 3k? So around 15k plus sold total
Day before Morecambe I’m sure ther was only around 12 /13k max total sold both teams. Walk up on that Saturday was around 3k. Will assume the walk up on Saturday considering it’s a whole day, you’d imagine 3 minimum. So we looking at 20/21k rather than 25k. Which is still pretty decent. And will still be one hell of a atmosphere!

They really need to get a few more blocks open. As it might encourage a more sales if there is a choice of seats.
Yeah i think it would usually, but...Tbh I think the limited availability is also playing a part, only a few blocks to choose from. At least open up half the North Stand ffs - I get the resource issue but come on.
Also, the 15,000 does not stack up, clearly looks more than that when you work the capacities of each stand out.
Probably due to resource manpower reasons. Hiring stewerds on a needs basis.Opening the north stand block by block is s bizarre idea for a game like this, why would someone want a ticket shoved in the corner when they could wait a couple of days or walk up on day and go behind goal
as i have said before i am a splitter for George Clooney and the wife Joan Collins - without my glasses i am sure my avatar is a true likenessWell you do look old in that pic.
Costs too much apparently, block by block charged by Wasps
