Really?

3 games won on the spin.
A fab performance last Friday.
Probable last Saturday 3pm game.

And you think people will see the 'light' rain forecast and go "nah, I'll give it a swerve"?

Supposed to be very heavy actually, but looks like it might dry out by lunch time now, so could be ok. We have quite a lot of elderly fans though.

I think it'll be just under 25k, can't see it being a huge crowd.

Early goal very much needed tomorrow. We should be full of confidence. Brentford were one of the best teams I've seen us play this season and we did a job on them.
Not many teams in this league can cope with Knockhart in his current form, I'd start Lua Lua on the left tomorrow.

Why would you start LuaLua?, don't get me wrong I love the guy, but with Jamie Murphy in fine form against Brentford in our last game, and scoring a goal, I think it would be very difficult to drop him.

LuaLua, would be the ideal man to come off the bench after an hour, to run at defenders with tiring legs. Apart from Wilson for Zamora, (we know he isn't fit), I can see us playing an unchanged team tomorrow.

Are you sure? They do tend to hold tickets back until the last minute sometimes. There again, I suppose this is pretty last minute now isn't it!

No idea if they are holding any back, but availability is pretty limited. I just did a very quick count and it was <1,000 left. Away end will be pretty empty though I guess.

Should this thread be retitled "big home crowd but hardly any away so average overall"? :lolol:
In truth I never really understand the way the club release tickets. It doesn't seem to follow any recognisable pattern which takes a lot of fun out of forecasting

Yeah it does seem very difficult to fathom. I know of people who have applied to the ticket office by phone or in person, and been offered seats that are seeimingly marked 'sold', or 'not available' on the website. All very strange,.

"We've got nothing out of Brighton in four years back at this level. They also treat visiting fans appallingly. A club I would quite happily see back in league two where it belongs."

Yup, our 30k seater state of the art stadium, world class training facilities and league position 4 points off the top of the Championship all suggest that we do indeed belong in League Two.

Must be awful for away fans as well with their local travel included in the ticket price, padded seats, 'welcome' signs and other such shite in the concourse and one of their local ales on tap. We truly are a disgrace.

Don't forget we have the cheek to run a rail service on match days from the railway station which is next to the ground, something Bolton can't manage

I promise I'm not having a dig at you here, but it's funny how differently people view games. I thought Brentford were awful, they had a lot of possession but they gave the ball away so cheaply throughout the game and their defending was appalling. In fairness we did do a job on them, as we did punished them for it.

I think these are normally seats the club have reserved for special guests (famillies of players etc). When they know they are not going to be taken for a particular game they make them available to the public.

For the first time in ages the west and east wings look fullish. S1F now on sale with 164 left so we have opened that block for the first time in a while. High 26, low 27k this week depending on Bolton turnout, hopefully they bring a 1000 or so.

Hahahahaha Fat Frank and
Having a quick look at that thread, I get the feeling that 'Frank' and 'Daz' may be in more need of help than ridicule. I don't know if you're laughing at the idiots on the forum that ridicule these people, or the victims, but either way, could you edit your post to make it less offensive please. - oops, I see I'm too late, you can't edit it even if you wanted to.

And drop Murphy who was excellent against Brentford... that will keep him motivated eh?
