I'm a little bit disappointed in this, was hoping we'd at least be up to about 5,000 by now. Hoping for a good walk up crowd Deano?

I would imagine the walk up crowd will be quite big. Certainly if it is a day like today.

It's what me and a couple of mates are going to do.

never forgive coleman for that it was a utter disgrace he wasnt playing that day :slap:

ajsccfc · Aug 8, 2013

It was weird logic to explain it, as if Coleman bringing Hall on with 10 mins to go would have led people to blame him for the result. If anything it would have been the sole bright spot.

Sub · Aug 8, 2013

instead it was another dark day in our history for one of the clubs most respected players

The latest additions follow on from the previous announced players, Darren Huckerby, Noel Whelan, Paul Hall, Dave Bennett and Terry Gibson.

Tbf tickets only go on sale at the Ricoh today, all tickets sold before have been online purchases I think

Ahhh, OK. Didn't know that, sounds promising.

that is correct, on line sales only so far = 3,000

Sterling Archer · Aug 8, 2013

Deano, you still trying to get some more ex players in to play?

Spionkop · Aug 8, 2013

Get to the Ricoh Sunday, everyone. This is our big chance to show solidarity, despite all our petty feuds. TWO FINGERS up to those bastards.

ccfcway · Aug 8, 2013

no way will Sixfields get 3,000 so ALREADY there will be more at the Ricoh than at Sixfields..

I would say that was a result !!!!!

Hoping for plenty more, but we have a message to SISU and the rest of the Football world already !

yes ,froggatt is now playing

sky_blue_up_north · Aug 8, 2013

Travelling from Cheshire so can't get the Ricoh to pick tickets, so I'll be paying on the gate, bringing my two grandsons as well. Should be great day.

Skyblueweeman · Aug 8, 2013

Well done to everyone organising this. In traditional English terminology, 'a bloody good show'. To already have 3k is amazing when it's online tickets only up until this morning. Great work everyone involved.

Even if we didn't get any more (which we obviously will) it's still at least double what the attendance will be at Sixfields.

My only concern is that the TF and Co still won't get the message after all of this. Mondays press release from him will be something along the lines of 'It was for charity and only £5 to get in, so we expected there to be a bigger gate at the Ricoh'.

Glad Deano that you've got Sky involved (apologies if it was anyone else). If I can't make it up from the South Coast on Sunday, I'm looking forward to seeing it covered on SSN!

Well done again,

WM

I really wish I could be there but an inconsiderate family member has scheduled their kids christening on the same day and I cant get out of it

Joy Division · Aug 8, 2013

Really looking forward to Sunday, I'll be there with the usual four I go to games with plus another three friends who all support other teams but keen on helping our cause. Will be paying on the gate and will get there early I think to avoid any ques.

This is going to be a really proud day and maybe gives back that buzz of why we support the Sky Blues.

What about Big Mo? He always seemed to love the club and still used to come back yearly.

Bring them all

CarpyCov84 · Aug 8, 2013

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the ticket office open today for the first day ???

If so I would expect that figure to double in a few days I think 10k minimum were looking at

Spread the word, a load of my extended family are going.

Gray · Aug 8, 2013

Just got my ticket must've been about 50 in the queue looking promising for big turn out!

aloisiwouldhavescored · Aug 8, 2013

Yes, just got ours too, us 2 plus 2 other family members. Only Main Stand being opened at present, expect it will be supply and demand.
3 serving on counter, so queue moved quickly.

shmmeee · Aug 8, 2013

I'll be there with the kid. Trying to convince Pompey and AFC Wimbledon fans I know to come along with kids too.

Looking like at least 5k with a few more days and walk up. 10k would be a real result.

Steve_75 · Aug 8, 2013

Just been and bought 12 tickets. Only 3 of us have previously had season tickets. Some aren't even really 'in to' football at all but wanted to go to show support for the Cov in Cov campaign as even they feel its wrong that SISU moved the club to Northampton (not because of my point of view on it but just from what they've read and heard on the news.
Should be a really good afternoon.

I'm hearing its near 4k already my guess is 12k-15k
