Over 20,000 expected for FA Cup 3rd Round match !!

[bluenitsuj]

I can see it getting very heated on Saturday when only 1 in 10 punters turn up with a £4 ticket to get on the P&R buses.

Fans can pay cash on the day at Mill Road or Mithras House P&R

Can' make this match as have to work ... Booo wanted to try another spot to compare with WSU

20,000 would be an unbelievably good crowd for a cup match against seriously tedious opposition who we will play in the league in a couple of months, especially when it's just after Christmas and sandwiched between two other home games.

Two top championship sides ? Do me a favour . Great game that bookies can't call hence over 20k and over 2.5k reading

No, he'll be flying up to Geordieland the day before. Cardiff are playing Newcastle.

Tough sh*t if they dont and then they do actually request to see tickets.

Can seriously see there being a MAHOOSIVE binfest on here Saturday night about transport.

Just a touch overly cynical no?
My guess is that an average 10% to 15% of season ticket holders are no-shows at any given match (that's the figure I was quoted on an Amex tour) and with Bournemouth being touted as 30K sold the actual bums on seats is likely to be around 26000 minimum.

Good repost. I would agree that most amex seats are taken each game. The attendances are very much nearer to the clubs official announced figure than those quoted by a few fans on here who seem determined to talk the club and it's success down.

The club originally said the P&R buses cannot take cash fares so I presume dedicated parking stewards will be collecting the fares and issuing bus tickets.

Originally yes, but the website now says they have changed to cash tickets due to size of crowd

Well said

 

[Eksman]

Ok.

 

[Brovion]

Yup, it will be our first game of the season! In the East Stand Upper, really looking forward to it. Especially as the result really matters which obviously isn't the case for a bog-standard League game.
