Not sure - wonder if the club are expecting 29,500 actual bums on seats (hence the quote in the travel update) rather than announced attendance. Can't see how or where there are 1000 tickets unsold.
I was queuing at the fish and chip van when the starting 11 was tweeted........'knocky's playing !' spread like wildfire through the crowds outside and there was an almost palpable lift even then. Can't wait for Saturday.
