Will we maintain good numbers from Derby after today's win?

£20 on Tuesday will hopefully appeal to many. Can't see Swansea bringing more than 800. Anything about 16k would be good.


Bristol City crowd could be a big one with up to 4000 of them coming up.

Why have they changed our home night game v Swansea to Tuesday ? Lately our night matches at home are Wednesdays ?

I'd imagine if we win Tuesday we'll be looking at a huge crowd. The only issue is two games in a week.

Saturday is £25 and it looks like Bristol City will have more up that Derby did.

Birmingham is a Tuesday too. I guess they just divide the games.

It’s pro rota. Birmingham is a Tuesday, then Millwall on Wednesday

Just had a look at the dots. Numbers well down on previous matches. Hopefully pick up after today's win.

The Cardiff game was the Wednesday because they played on the Sunday.

I'm coming up for Bristol with some of my Bristol City STH friends.

Was intending to go to Dhillon's but I don't know if I've ever seen away fans in there. Is it home only?

I was chatting with Forest fans on the opening day.

The queues were the only source of frustration.

Haven't been back since, so I don't know if they've sorted it.

They haven't. Best to double park.

Don't think that'll be far off - although if we beat Swansea, and Bristol bring as many as Derby, the Bristol figure may increase.

That Bristol number would be disappointing if we win Tuesday. Would mean on 17k on a Saturday with £25 tickets.

Weren’t too many more for the Cardiff game. Don’t know where you can find out but I’d guess Tuesday/Wednesday crowds are about 5,000 down on Saturday’s across the league

Personally I'd have no problem with smaller leagues (say 20 per league) and one game per week, preferably played on the Saturday afternoon with a few matches moved for TV. More like the US 'game weeks'.

Allow more recuperation for the players and frees up space for the cups.

As has been said, midweek crowds are always down as people have work commitments and others have to make a mad dash from work.

Just had a look myself for the Swansea game. There’s hardly a seat gone behind the goal

There will be some who come up with the reasons/excuses and of course that's fine, but it's a huge drop. Disappointing after a win yesterday.

Tuesdays are better than Wednesdays for recovery time.

4.45pm Saturday to 7.45pm Tuesday is 75 hours then plenty until the following Saturday. 9.30pm Wednesday until 3pm Saturday only 65.5 hours. Even worse if an away game with a travel back late and losing the next day's preparation. Makes a big difference if there's a full midweek fixture list and one team has had an extra day.

Could also occasionally of course be a 12.30 Sat kick off too.

Tuesday there will probably be about 18000, and if we win I can see 26000/27000
