950 sold at the mo according to Twitter

Thats a pretty decent effort for a 5:30pm kick off really...be nice to get top side of a 1000 though.

Post on the Barnet forum reckons as of earlier today a 1000 home tickets had been sold and 917 away tickets, at one point yesterday there was more away tickets sold than home ones!

They are getting giddy about a potential 3000 crowd!!

At least their honest about the figures. Ive been to many away games in this league where the away attendance figures for the travelling Spreites dont seem or look right somehow.

Well i suspect all they have done is count the tickets sold on the website so its there for all to see\count if they want to.

They had over 4k against Southend which was big for them (admittedly 1800 away fans).

Surprised we haven’t sold more than this. Suppose with Christmas, Watford Away and also this being on TV, a number of fans will decide against another expensive day in London.

Let’s hope the 1000-1200 make a racket.

Expensive month isn’t it. 5 home games and 3 away since everyone got paid pre Xmas

Did think the club may do something for the Woking game as a way of saying thank you to fans for the support.

Thought we might stretch to 1500 but 1200 isn’t bad

Yeah exactly. Same as last night, 6500ish there. Freezing cold, people are skint and it was available via stream for next to nowt.

Attendances are still brilliant and as you say 1200ish for a 300 mile round trip is still fantastic support.

Looked at the Barnet forum and someone was saying that they passed on the train and only the goalmouths were covered. Seems madness but perhaps they had just uncovered the pitch to air before putting the covers back on at night

Isn’t it going to be quite a bit milder on Saturday?

Met Office reckon it will be above freezing from this morning down there and then never goes back below freezing getting up to 5c/6c by late morning. They've got covers so we'll see what happens.

If past entry experiences are owt to go by I wonder how many will miss kick off. Be prepared.

Baltic last night with -5 this morning but as you say mild today, barely below freezing tonight and then 6 degrees tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully they have covers down. I would say it’s likely the game is on.

[johnd51]

Photos on their site seem to indicate they were training on their pitch yesterday?

[johnd51]

On reflection, I think it's the adjacent training pitch which is probably 4G.

Customer finance company says around half of Uk adults will run out of money at the end of Jan due to being payed early for Xmas, Xmas expenses and high energy bills due to the costs and recent cold snap. So a great effort!

only half? our staff have access to something called wagestream which allows them to draw half of the pay already earned before pay day - so at week 2 in the month you can get 1 weeks money, at week an extra 0.5 weeks to go to 1.5 weeks taken and so on. Does some other stuff to promote better financial management too, but as you can imagine its the early drawdown most in use this month!

I appreciate clubs have to say no or limited on street parking but I have never had a problem parking within a few minutes’ walk at Barnet.
We also have to say the same but parking around Stonegravels is usually dead easy.
The road going up the hill to the ground from the roundabout by the shopping parade usually has spaces.
Being a tight so and so I would rather walk for ten minutes ( and not be stuck in a car park trying to get out ).

Update on the Barnet forum this morning says all the pitch bar the centre circle was covered, whether the centre circle was covered at some point i dont know.

Also ticket sales as of 11am'ish - 1130 home, 1034 away
