I think they've chosen the fixtures for tv coverage so it's not likely to be moved
That's what I thought but with it being a derby with a different vibe to it I wondered if the police might want it to be moved?

It will probably be confirmed in a couple of days if you dont want to risk booking the train
Yeah, no drama. I'll sit tight for now.

Seen this floating around on twitter, unsure how accurate it is

Seems sensible. Suspect they'll outnumber us.
That'll be so weird. Think it'll be a good atmosphere and a good laugh.

That will only give them about 12k. We won't be a million miles off that if there is cheap tickets.
10 quid a ticket and I think we will edge towards 10k.

Won’t be £10 a ticket if tonight was £15
More likely 15 quid season ticket holders, 20 quid non ST holders and very cheap prices for kids (fiver or maybe a quid)
Gil Merrick is 8'000 in total once they remove the segregation covers
Old Main Stand is about 5'000
Kop and Tilton used to be 16'000 but they have taken two rows of seats out from the back of the Tilton to make more room for amenities plus they have covered up the front two rows of seats for the last few seasons to try to prevent pitch incursions

Don't think so, but would have been close for the Wolves game.
This all seems sensible. From what I can tell, most Blues fans would rather be in the away end. Keeps them happy and our ST holders won't have to move.

Yep, we were, 4,252 (2,170 away) according to Wiki.
Remember Sheff Utd having a lot there when we played them too

Already receiving calls from friends and family asking to get them tickets, is it likely season ticket holders will be given priority for extra tickets?, or will it be season ticket seat purchase only?

Honestly I suspect a sell out. It’s caught the imagination and is a local derby. I think we’ll sell our half and it’s basically a home game for them so they’ll probably sell out too.

Not a cat in hell's chance will there be in excess of 10k City fans, and even if there were that many, the attendance for a cup game will be announced that there were 3,800 of us (as per 'tweaked'Ipswich and Bristol Rovers attendees)

I'd agree, but if we wanted to we could probably get close to a sell-out by flogging tickets to Birmingham fans. 7.5k us, 15k Birmingham doesn't sound unreasonable as the conservative aim.

is likely to happen for both this and the Mackem game which is truly depressing.
