I see plenty of people furiously w@nking over potential sellouts on Saturday and getting let down that it looks like 20k.
Newsflash
Charlton in the division above got 14k tonight in their first leg, and do your research- look back through the years- hardly anybody ever sells out in these playoff games, and even the final at Wembley is rarely a sellout. Hull had swathes of emoty seats and that was the game to get to the Prem.
We are in league two, at the lowest ebb we’ve been in over 60 years, and arguably in our worst state ever. We’re getting crowds bigger than most in the division above, and despite a substantial amount of people boycotting games we can pull in big crowds the minute there is a glimmer of something good happening.
Even if we don’t sell 30,000 tickets, our support is loud and proud- we’ll rock Meadow Lane to the foundations next week and no matter what the crowd at the Ricoh is, we’ll make some noise alright.
A sky blue’s mix of fortitude, resilience and toughness borne of so much heartache, mixed with unwavering loyalty makes us a breed apart from the rest- our support is amazing.
So no matter what the crowd is- don’t get hung up on it, keep it in perspective and do what we do best- sing loud, sing proud and then sing some more and fire these guys home.
PUSB and be proud of who we are, what we put up with and the fact we still outshout the rest.
.... ps why the f*ck would you *want* a huge crowd, have you seen our record in front of 28k plus attendances??
There is no substantial boycott. And if there is they’ve been replaced with the same number of new fans so it doesn’t matter.
Put it this way: it’s the highest league finish and biggest home game of my life and I’m nearly 40. It should be a sell out.

I think the thing is we sold out a Johnson paint semi final against crewe and this game is far more important. I think it being on a Saturday night and on sky puts people off and are maybe saving there money for the potential final.
Wasn’t that game a fiver a ticket as well
To be honest, I’m quite happy when the attendance is about 12,000-15,000.. easier parking, generally slightly less moaning and a better atmosphere than when it’s around 7,000 etc
Those of us that travel a distance don't want their usual spots filled up thank you!only those of us the wrong side of 50 get to post those sort of comments!!
Those people clearly don't know their facts and did not think things through.
No club in the history of the sport will have recorded a crowd for a league two playoff as big as we are about to. No club has supporters as loud & passionate in the face of adversity, and soon enough- whether its this season or next or further down the line- many thousands will reappear packing the ground out.
For now though, we are the hardy few who keep the fires burning and light up every ground we go to with noise & fervour.
History will record that no matter what, we kept going and kept supporting the club- 50/100 years from now we'll have our place in posterity as the fans who helped keep the club going through its blackest days, and by the way outsung every club we played. We should be proud, seriously f*cking proud of what we do.
Mark my words- when we do get something to get behind, this club will explode. But we will know we saw it through from start to finish. That makes me kinda proud, we should all be.
PUSB- looking forward to a record breaking crowd on Saturday, and most importantly a WIN.
Yes it was forgot that.Wasn’t that game a fiver a ticket as well
Exactly I won’t be able to for a piss in peace with all those strangers thereI see plenty of people furiously w@nking over potential sellouts on Saturday and getting let down that it looks like 20k.

We might get 27-32,0000 initially but , and it depends how well we do , we might well level off at around 23 - 25000 if we struggle for 2,3 years and then even less if we become relegation fodder over and over again, like we used to .What I will say about crowds , is when people keep banging on about us getting 12/13k in the premier league .
By that logic i can say we got 30k regular in the 70s .
Most clubs had low attendances in the early 90s except a minority few .
Coventry were not a special case .
Coventry in the premier league today would pull in 27-32000 every week at home
We have the fanbase there and it’s perfectly reasonable to expect in modern day football for a club like Coventry to pull over 20,000 for a playoff game .
People in this city have demanded a team that plays decent football and competes , they get it now albeit the bottom tier but they should embrace it and support them , instead of sitting at home and waiting for a fairytale premier league return to happen.
Either way I still think the attendance will exceed 20,000 on Saturday
Ive never once (knowingly ) wanked furiously over getting 30,000 gates at the ricoh, I just want to makIf e that clear.I see plenty of people furiously w@nking over potential sellouts on Saturday and getting let down that it looks like 20k.
