It is but it’s a faff for them physically getting in and out of the traffic
Pizza Hut/ Burger King at Tesco I thought would’ve been a precise enough location for an Uber.
I won't be there Mrs mole has friends over to celebrate her 65th on Sunday, I can't believe both her and City changed it from Saturday
Many years ago !No excuse - years ago my parents arranged a 21st party for me one Saturday, and it clashed with Norwich away, so party had to be moved to the night before #hungoverinNorwich
It’s FridayI won't be there Mrs mole has friends over to celebrate her 65th on Sunday, I can't believe both her and City changed it from Saturday
I managed 2 extra for Cardiff and hopefully 2 more going Friday. Not sure they will be regulars though.Yep definite 15000 core crowd. Another test to see if those 15000 have got any friends they can persuade. Would think they may push 2000. Be nice to get over 20000 for a few
It's not on the red button, it's only been moved as the insects are playing this weekendIf it's a sky red button game, it might knock a thousand or so off the gate, I'm thinking around 18k would be good.
Our core fan base is what it is. I don’t understand people’s expectations.
You would like to think 18000 home fans that turned up vs Forest (sky game) on a Sunday afternoon. Would turn up for this. It's not holiday season either.

We lost too many in the wonder years, will take years to get them back.
Need the “ I only go to away games” lot to start turning up.
It's cheaper and we are playing very good football. We could literally go top. Anything less would be disappointing for me.
Friday night football is arguably better. Few people work then and the late night aspect isn't comparable to a Tuesday.
We are making a night of it...getting up early check into hotel in afternoon.
Mixed Grill at Kushi or The crow..545pm. Few beers.
Then night out in cov after.
A few things:
The 45,000 at Wembley. They are there somewhere but we don't see them regularly enough. Granted, most probably go to a few games a season but collectively we have seen anything remotely similar in a League match since.
Bar that brief period around 10 years ago (in which we actually managed to get a *home* crowd of around 22k against Leeds) , this is the highest position we've been in and personally the most exciting team I've seen since the latter years in the PL.
We're not going to sell out, and we are not likely to get 25k anytime soon but if we get less on Friday than the previous fixtures this season, we have a right to be disappointed.
Sadly, the club has had no opportunity to build a fanbase since moving to the Ricoh. The total opposite in fact. Leicester, Southampton and Stoke are examples of clubs from similar historic positions and catchment areas. They grew and they get far greater crowds than us. This has to be the time we begin to grow as a club. It's been good so far but if the form continues you have to hope the crowds will too.
Well perhaps dropping a few incentives here and there instead of the usual one per season might work. £20-25 is fairly cheap at this level but not cheap enough to drive in thousands of more fans.
Not sure it works though. Unless you drop to £10, we rarely see worthwhile increases when tickets are discounted.
So I return to the original point, the core fan base is what it is and as pointed out above - personal choice. We won’t be seeing regular 20k home fans until we’re a solid, established top half team imo.
You're spot on and it's a shame.
I wonder what the crowd on Friday would have been if we were 16th in the table.
My future son in law went to the Cardiff game and enjoyed it. He's going up again against Peterborough and taking his mate and his sister, think he's getting the sky blue bugI managed 2 extra for Cardiff and hopefully 2 more going Friday. Not sure they will be regulars though.

That’s great Evo.I hope you are right, and all the talk about not supporting SISU is just talk.To be honest as an away day regular... most do already go home matches
By not going to Cornwall & breaking into your friend's house... That seems the logical option.In Cornwall for this one. Given season tickets to friends. How can I watch it?

It'll almost definitely be on that there internet.In Cornwall for this one. Given season tickets to friends. How can I watch it?
It’s not on sky is it?It'll almost definitely be on that there internet.
How to do it I'm not sure
Everyone else seems to know.
Surely you can find out.
Go for it.
Otherwise you'll miss out
All told it can't be that difficult.
Last line from me.
(That's an acrostic by the way)
It may be on the wireless!In Cornwall for this one. Given season tickets to friends. How can I watch it?
It won'be in Cornwall.It may be on the wireless!
I’d agree with that. Not sure but I think Millwall is the only game than has gone to general sale. Most away tickets seem to go within the first 48 hours on sale and many have been one or two tickets per season ticket holder which tends to support Evo’s comments.To be honest as an away day regular... most do already go home matches
I follow should be ok shouldn’t it?It won'be in Cornwall.
5live aren't going to put it on.
CWR is not available in Cornwall via FM, and BBC Sounds doesn't let you listen to the game live on CWR (no idea why).
Don't think it's on Sky (the game has been moved to accommodate Wasps, not for TV).
