as it stands
West stand 166 seats left
Kop 51 seats left
East stand 112 seats left

E1 and E2 cannot be sold to Preston as all of E3 has been on sale.

E2 holds around 500 seats
E1 holds around 460 seats

So we have around 1250 tickets left to sell (don't forget ST had to buy seats)

Sold around 7000 home so 9K atm

No WB is right, it's pathetic

I have to say though if I hadn't bought tickets by now I'd be waiting for E2 to start selling like I did for the Bristol game. Don'r really understand why it isn't

Makes a farce of these claims we'd take 20,000+ to Wembley

Anyone in their right mind knows we won't take 20k.

Agreed, playoff games are excruciating and unless you win they remain so. Not for the faint hearts and definitely not for the Wembley tourists who have already chalked it off

Sheff Yoo might flush a few more out though?

Just seen who is refereeing the second leg, not happy with the appointment yo say the least. Just hope that his perverse decisions go our way for once.

Oh, forgot to say, Andy D'Urso

I'd like to know what is putting anyone off. This game is in top 5 biggest home games in the twenty plus years I've been watching Town regularly.

Some might argue it bigger but it's below a couple of the FA Cup games and do or die promotion games.

There's a financial aspect to all this though

There's a financial aspect to everything and if we can't sell out for one of the biggest games in our history, irrespective of it being on tele, then I think it answers the question about filling the corners in, we will never do it as we dodn't need it

If we do well in the home leg a lot won't go and save the cash for a potential Wembley day

I've got ours in the West at that end. See no benefit to being opposite in the East.

I think if we draw or win on Thursday we are certs to sell the 2000.

True. I got these on Friday though and managed eight together 2/3 of the way back.

As a ST I've never chosen to watch a CFC game on Sky in preference and Thursday is no difference.

The Extra costs of a potential Wembley Game added to ST renewal, SUFC ticket, Play off 1st Leg and possibly a Preston Away ticket adds it toll to the wallet.

I blame our success not Sky for the impact

I disagree mate..I understand frustrations regarding not getting a full house on Thursday, but don't underestimate the impact the game being live on Sky will have, particularly for a family thinking of coming. But, if we do get to Wembley in a one of game for promotion to the Championship I'd be amazed if we didn't take 20,000.

Rotherham didn't manage it last season when the kickoff and logistics were far easier and they were getting better gates throughout the season

Really, I wasn't aware..I suppose ultimately people's pockets arnt bottomless and all this extra expense at a time when some families will be spending a lot of money renewing season tickets can't help.

I think it is more a case that playoff finals are just not as appealing as a one off cup game to the real part time/tourist especially when they've been there and done that

Anyone who has real feeling for CFC will go
