Haven’t you got a big teddy bear you can strap in the passenger seat to keep you company?

7000 sold so far in the home end before general .
Attendance currently stands at 11000 if county sell out .
Think 20000 is a reasonable guess

There is currently NO way a normal supporter can buy a ticket at the ticket office , I asked yesterday .
It’s all online and tbh that may hinder the attendance slightly , either that or there will be a massive walk up

That is quite incredible really? Why can’t they do that?

A surprising number of season ticket holders aren't bothering judging by all the seats released this morning.
A lot of ST holders wont have bought their seats as will be taking friends and family up and therefore need to move to sit together

Majority of seats released this morning will be due to that opposed to ST holders not bothering

It won’t sell out, the tv coverage will still keep several thousand away I think. The record for a Home leg in this league is held by Wolves at Just under 20,000 apparently. That will certainly be topped.
It’s actually held by Huddersfield v Lincoln in 2004, at just over 18k wolves was second leg of final - pre Wembley.

Just had my daily grey dot visual check (the 'checks' get more frequent as the week progresses) - looks promising considering it's not even midday Tuesday.

This is true. I've been unable to take my actual seat as I am bring a mate and had to go back a row to get 2 together. So my regular seat us back in the pot.

I think we will get 21,000 to the game, just disappointing that they couldn't turn up the rest of the season.

Ordered now with the ticketfast.

No idea why anybody would need or want to go to the ticketoffice.

You'd be surprised. When I went to the butts to renew my season ticket (had to get a Jsb membership so couldn't get it online) plenty of people were queuing, mostly men over 50. A lot of them won't have access to the Internet and won't want to sit on the phone all day or even know the phone number. You also have to consider a group of lads between 14-17 who may not have a credit card between them to order online with. There's also no delivery option now so people without printers will have to go to the butts anyway.

There are a fair few complaining on Facebook that they can't go down to the Butts so it's not an internet issue for many.

not sure how many seats in that area but based on saturday around 15000
if we assume that the front 3 rows hold 1500 and there are no more than 3000 left that means

10500 sold to date approx
4000 notts county

can we shift 2000 per day from now on - i would expect so
would put crowd 24-25k

I would assume it’s because disabled supporters have to buy at the ticket office. In the past the club have asked all other supporters to buy online and everyone has ignored them and turned up at the Butts.

No reason the vast majority can’t buy online. It’s that way for so many events these days.

I don’t disagree at all but if you can offer for disabled then you can offer for the majority surely?

Out of interest, it's 2018, how many people do you think in the UK don't have access to the internet?

Which is bizarre really, as they obviously have the internet, have time on their hands to log into Facebook and complain, and must be technically savy enough to get by, yet can’t buy online? I get it’s not an option for some due to genuine reasons, but not too many in this day an age surely.

Saying that, the club really should be offering as many avenues as possible.

I still think they’ll be about 22k attendance and chaos at the turnstiles!

Guess the crowd thread is turning into a 'boo or not to boo' sub-thread. I booed, wasn't happy, but now I am and am buying the lady in front some wine gums for Saturday so that we can all be friends again (hope she likes wine gums!)
If she has large breasts, forget the wine gums & go straight for the wine !

As an aside.... we finished top of the league 2 table...for average
attendance. 9254
Massively swelled by Accrington, a large away allocation albeit not often taken up and the end of season offers. Would have still been up there without any of those, but figures are somewhat skewed.

No club is going to employ hundreds of ticket office staff on the off chance there’s a big game at some point in the season.

The club can still offer it as a service even if the demand is greater. Of course, you plan for the norm but there are ways round it and for many they would prefer to buy in-person for a number of reasons.
