So a final update, although this countdown has not been as exciting as others as we are clearly a way off a sellout. Mindful it's the last weekend before payday after a long expensive month, and of course it's on Sky. Still expecting an official attendance of about 27k with about 24k bums on seats.
Saying that, with the fine (but chilly weather) I predict a higher number than usual walk ups for this game, so there may be a late boost to numbers
WSL: 378 (mostly in W1A)
WSU: 38 (only singles)
South: 296 (sure another block could be made available but very unlikely to be needed)
ESL: 48 (4 or 5 pairs. More if E1H might be made available if required, but unlikely)
ESU: 174 (mainly in the southern end)
Away following. Reports of 1100 sold yesterday. Their allocation is 1700. Suspect the away fans are either S1B to S1D with S1A and some of E1H as the sterile area and S1E as the other sterile area. Or they have S1A and part of S1D is also the sterile area. Not that it matters.
Can't wait for the stick we'll cop from MASSIVE on this considering the relative importance of the game.
IF they win they'll be all over it.
Wonder what the corresponding attendance was at their place earlier this season compared to the play offs last year.
