Yes. But Newcastle, Huddersfield and maybe Burnley and Stoke will sell slightly less well.

It's annoying how the dates have fallen for these fixtures as I already know I can't make Huddersfield or Stoke unless they get moved away from the Saturdays.

I'm hoping I have just enough points for Swansea, but doubt it with the reduced allocation, to be honest.

When are tickets for this game likely to go on sale? Already bought my no-refundable train tickets so hoping I'll have enough points.

No single game has sold out on the first day yet, and this won't either.

The points are set such that everyone who wants to buy a ticket on the first day will be able to get one. My guess is that is likely to be c1,800 of the 2,000 tickets.

No game will sell out first day. Not even the Bournemouth league game (lowest allocation) did.

Is it definitely on the Saturday at 3pm? Have the TV bods had their picks for that weekend yet?

Driving down on the Friday to visit some of the wife's family - good excuse to go to the game on the Saturday.

To sell any game out on the first day, every single person with the required points would need to buy. That's how the first bracket is calculated.

We've only played at the Liberty three times, and only twice in the league.

The last time was a midweek League Cup game in 2009 attended by precious few. The last league game was ten years ago in League One. As such, "new ground collecting" will be a feature for this one.

Additionally, this is a Premier League fixture being played at 3pm on a Saturday where people will be keen to gather more loyalty points.

It will sell well.

I was there for the league cup with my three kids, there were so few of us a programme was passed around for everyone to sign.

If I can't get a ticket in the away end, my mate is sorting me home tickets out. Can't miss this one!

Allocation likely to be 2000 from what I can see, how does NSC think this will sell? Miles away etc.

I am supposed to be going to see Sleaford Mods that night but as only been able to get tickets for Leicester away so far I might give the gig a skip and try and get tickets for this.

It's tough. I had a toss up between Billy Bragg and Brighton Palace.

Can't go to this as in Belgium that weekend so an extra ticket for somebody. Hopefully this and Everton at home will be the only two matches I miss this season

I have already paid for the train so will be pretty pissed off not to get match tickets. The night before it's The Lovely Eggs at The Haunt and Sleaford Mods at the Dome on Saturday. Probably going to miss out on both of these due to early start and late back.

Good call, I think it was 48 and a Friday night game at the Vetch as Wales we’re playing 6N rugger on the Sat.

Can’t recall if it was the game down there when there was trouble with Swansea fans throwing hot tea at BHA fans causing some unsavouriness during game and then after.

Was a mere back story in those days, Christ only knows what would happen if that happened these days..........at the very least Mum would need to put the underpants into soak.
