Hull normally get around 16k anyway although they'll sell out this I'm sure.
Derby had 2k more against Sheffield Wednesday than they did against hull yesterday.... I'd suspect the Derby fans are fed up with the playoffs also lol

For the big clubs like Derby, Hull and Albion this is all business as usual. For the smaller clubs like Sheffield Wednesday, it's a once in a generation thing and all manner of people come out of the woodwork for it, as was illustrated by the bumper crowd at Hillsborough the other night.

Yes I can see they've gone from 17/18k to 35k in no time and had 20k just a few games ago against MKD's....guess these tiny clubs get all excited at the prospect of the playoffs bless.

Wednesday and Derby have their own cause for embarassment, like a group of them asking me directions to their stadium (they had made an error in identifying my shirt) and I obliged - but not selling out tomorrow is a poor show and proves a lack of belief that this squad can turn it around. Yes there are legitimate excuses; Monday night, school night, train disruption but none that should see us get any less than 29k for a po semi.

Lots of lads and lasses have their GCSEs this coming week and have to spend their time revising. They may get to watch a few minutes of the game on TV.

I made a similar (poor show) point about our non sell out of tickets at Hillsborough which bizarrely proved a controversial pov. As was mentioned then the club may be slightly to blame as the supporter points threshold may have been initially set too high. Having gone I don't think it mattered that much after all, as the support was tremendous. A few empty seats will make little difference and soon be forgotten if the crowd does it's job.

No doubt we will take 35k+ to Wembley if we do achieve the great escape!

West lower emptiness is an odd one. It's mostly season ticket holders so why have they not bought? Won't be because of the Friday result because they had to take their seats before that. Odd, very odd.

Perhaps as they have to pay they move to cheaper areas or just fancy trying a different view?

Haha that poster is obviously fishing!

Brighton are a nice club with a nice new stadium.

However, I see them no differently to how I see Tranmere or Gillingham.

Wind your neck in chap. Gillingham. Pfft.

Ha!

To be fair to the Wednesday fans, they've not been noticeably all over NSC in the way Burnley and, particularly, Boro fans were. Links must have been on their forums near-constantly as Google Analytics had their forums as the main referrers of traffic to NSC nearly every day. Owlstalk has popped up from time to time but not in the same kind of numbers as the others did.

We've had very few Wednesday fans register either whilst, in contrast, there is still a bit of an ongoing battle to fend off the abusive and homophobic Boro fans joining NSC. Largely we're keeping them out of sight of the main board.

It gives me the impression that Wednesday fans are largely keeping their heads down in a respectful way, just going about their business of hoping they can pull it off. Fair play to them.

I like the Owlstalk member who says that we have to turn round a three-goal deficit - what's he been drinking since Friday night (or he's a Hull supporter on the wrong board)

Yeah i quite like their board, they're very much like us tbh, which has actually surpised me.
Yes they have the odd numpty, who doesn't?, but overall they have my respect at the moment...... That might change on Tuesday, I thought Boro were ok until after the game, there are still a few on here who do seem decent, i guess they are the ones that have survived the cull.

It does not seem Yorkshire is big enuff for Sheffield (nowhere near the sea). To the rest of the world, Yorkshire is just a place to get through to go to somewhere else.

Where is that Jimmy Case video?
