We had 2.2k for Tranmere - add in extra away fans and more corporates and we should be touching 3k without any additional floaters so yeah, we should be looking at selling out.

And if ticket sales are slow, send out freebies to local youth teams etc. Let's pack the place out!
Freebies - are you joking!

There were hundreds 'locked out' against Dover in the FAT a few years back; Spirit of 1990 is still getting counselling about it.
Only if we've got hundreds left with a week to go.

I was in the ground not long past 6 o'clock for the Dover game - commitment y'see. If the JCL types like you and Spirit want to amble in at 7.43 and expect to get straight in then that's your own fault.

Thats potentially 11 new customers to the club if they have a good do.
Good stuff, hope you all have a lovelytime.

I drove up from Kent, got stuck in traffic then stuck queuing to get in with the wife n kids & then listened to the game on the radio with a fish & chip supper then drove back to Kent for work the next day.

My Nephew & his mates are booked into corporate on Boxing Day, They don't attend games either.

Hope with every being of my fiber we win through against Dale as this will get the whole area interested in what's going on at the Club & all the top clubs having to visit as well should really see a spike in our attendance's as a few come back for a second & third look.

I expect the gate to be 90% of feasible capacity.
