That’s a fair question…..Got trapped in a Prom dress shop and there were only 3 Dads in there and he asked me if I was going the game. I said I was but 26 miles up the M69.

24,492 were there against Bournemouth.

Granted there were a few more Bournemouth fans but today was far, far busier than that day.

North Stand was packed.

That North stand was the busiest I've seen for a long time, most I've seen this season or last. From my viewpoint I use it as a barometer. Based of a day I'd say it was a 26k but clearly my eye is pissed as a newt

I've just bought 3 tickets for next saturday and there are not a lot left, I usually sit in row R in block 27 and the closest I could get to the pitch was block RR.

Supposed to be going away next weekend but fucked that off now and got a ticket

Not sure where you fit an extra 10K in on top of todays attendance. I was sat next to the press bit and unless that stand was pretty empty there was only a few gaps in the pay on the gate blocks and the 4K in the away end

Are they likely to release the corners (25/26) that are normally pay on the gate for advance sale?

Will be really interesting to see what happens when Block 31 inevitably sells out. Will be they open Block 13 etc.

Will be a disgrace if there's finally demand for 28k Coventry fans and there's 5000 empty seats for segregation and other shite.

The most baffled I've ever been by a crowd figure was Blackburn at home for that replay when Best scored the winner. Think it was 22k that night and there wasn't an empty seat in the entire ground besides the away end.

I think you won’t see the odd gaps we saw today next Saturday - I expect 30,000 with every seat taken - come on!!!

That was at half time. All behind the goal were sold. Any gaps were people not turning up or moving seats. This was during game:

There were several empty seats and the attendance reflected that. You have all worked yourself up counting dots and have lost sense of reality

Let's get the match thread up and concentrate on the game not on the crowd. 3 points is all that matters.

I just want them forced to make a decision between declaring a sell out and opening up blocks before 12.

The way they’re selling they’ll have to make a decision by the end of the day tomorrow. Will be interesting if 4 or 13 go up.

Well why indeed because it begs the question of what the actual limit is. Pete has said the club say it’s not an issue cos low ticket sales. So I really want to see what happens when they don’t have that excuse.

If they have 4500 then they must have block 10.
That’s what will cause the problem. If they only had up to block 9 then the stand could be shared

It does. They need to explain why the stand was able to be shared in the past but not now.

It sounds as though the Police have no faith in their own ability to control a crowd properly

The question which I have never seen answered satisfactorily is why empty blocks are needed for segregation at the CBS but not at Celtic, Chelsea or any other Premier League ground? Agreed that it’s not an issue when the ground is half full, but not when the demand is there, as it is for Saturday? If I was the Safety Officer and could get away with insisting that the away fans watch the game by CCTV at Walsall I probably would as there’d be no risk, but there surely comes a time when someone challenges that approach.
