Will be funny reading all the comments from people whinging they can't get tickets when we draw a big team and can't be bothered to go to this.

I'm coming up from London for it - think it'll be a good occasion and they'll definitely be noisy!
We will come in party atmosphere. We will mostly be chatty non league fans enjoying the occasion because, despite the initial 'we didn't draw man city' reaction we are really looking forward to coming. I keep repeating it but I used to watch us play in front of 30 people in Kent County League division 2. Now, for the second time this season we are off to a big club, a 25k+ crowd and 5k away fans. I don't support a big club plus Maidstone. I just support Maidstone. This is dreamland stuff.

PS we can play Man C in the qtrs 😉🤣

Shoukd just give them the whole 6k, hopefully we sell 24k/25k, be great to get it nearly full, there's 10 days to go yet and i think we will
Yes. Give us 6k. If you can't sell yours we can do that as well. We are non league so can live with no segregation. As at Ipswich, you are going to get pockets of ours in your end of the ground. We just wanna see our team grace (or not) a big ground again.

I’m sure away fans in the home end will go down well

I hate games like this ..... as a veteran of a few big shocks.

All eyes on team selection.

With the potential money involved with getting thru, one game from wembley etc. I’d imagine we’ll be as strong as is possible.
It’s a one off game tho, anything can happen.
As Greavsie used to say, it’s a funny old game

Should go on general on Monday, Thursday-Sunday is plenty of time for those that have bought before to decide to go

Give Maidstone the 6k and they'll sell those within the hour

I can see this selling out for definite!

I don't think it will go on general sale, the purchase history is there to prevent Maidstone fans buying in the home end.

the biggest issue seems to be the family zone
lots complaining when they couldnt get season tickets there, but demand for this is very low

Because the ticket prices are the same price as other areas of the ground.

People will have moved seats.

Why are people assuming people aren't up for this!?

There will be more home fans for the Maidstone game than the Preston game a few nights before, I promise you.

This is selling well, already. There's no rush for people to buy. We sold about 5000 on the day for Sheff Wednesday.

Which has happened a few times now. Happened at the Birmingham game and we had a whole block of empty seats. It's embarrassing.

Close the top tier and completely open the bottom without hospitality. Charge normal admission prices.
I think the problem is these events are booked at the CBS way in advance, same with the Blues game and then the fixtures get changed for TV and there is nothing the club or CBS can do. This game should be played on the Wednesday and was only changed to Monday for ITV.

Surely it's full of season ticket holders?
Monday night not great for taking children especially if you're travelling from far afield as I am. I can't take my son and wanted a ticket for my brother so have to go elsewhere in the ground - think there will be some gaps in the FZ for this one

You have to be a member with previous purchase history to buy a ticket in the home at the moment. Now you've sold out i very much doubt that will change.

Absolutely and we would be crazy not to start with a strong team. Last year against Wrexham, and previous upsets, show that if you don't take such matches seriously you will more than likely come unstuck. I don't think Robins will take that risk this time.

Shame that our fans don’t seem to be able to get up for a very winnable 5th round FA Cup tie. Especially given how much we love to bang on about being the ‘best fans in the league’ on social media.

Another comment like this. I don't get it! We've already sold more than we had done for the Wednesday game the night before.

There will be over 20,000 home fans.

And I thought the crowd at Wednesday was poor too given how cheap the tickets were and how winnable the game was.

Club our alleged size should be selling out these games with the tickets at the price they are and the performance of the team. Just a sick of reading our fans giving it the billy big bollocks on social media and then not turning up. Twitter and the match thread on here for the Wednesday game seemed to have more people moaning about not being able to find a stream than actually talking about the game.

I get your point but we got 20,000 against Sheffield Wednesday on a game with very short notice.

In comparison, Southampton (who sell out all home games) got 17,000. Sheffield Wednesday had 14,100 against us and we had 4000 there.

This will near sell out. There's zero rush to buy a ticket, as with the Wednesday and Oxford games which both sold well in the final days.

I hope you’re right. Really want to see a big crowd for this one.

The problem is that a significant number of "Maidstone fans" will not actually be true Maidstone fans but glory supporters jumping on the bandwagon. Probably Maun U and Chelsea fans who live in and around the Maidstone area.
