    Will we sell out...

    Our away allocation. Obviously we would sell out at Reading, but Wigan are likely to let give us 4-5 thousand for that stand behind the goal, what are people's views. I would be pretty embarrassed if we failed to sell out.

    If it's reading or Brighton then 100% but Wigan will probably give us 5k so doubt it.

          Anyone who's just thinking about going. DO IT! Imagine taking 5k up to Wigan would be quality, and hopefully will inspire the players. Plus a night out on the lash up north.

            Talk tonight in the fans forum of possibly subsidising tickets for the away leg, would be a great gesture from the club.

            However, imo, we should sell out anyway, it's the biggest two (hopefully 3) games of the season and we haven't been involved in the playoffs for years! I know times are hard and all that but if it's possible to get time of work then do it! I've blagged people to get the time off for both legs which means, Friday, Monday and Tuesday off work, two hotels and two train journeys and not leaving the house for the next month (after the final of course).

            I do appreciate people have families though and it's not that easy. I'm sure we'll get at least 3k up to Wigan but 5k would be brilliant for the players and might just be the difference at a quiet DW!

              I can see us taking 4-5k at wigan, it's one of those games that if you can do it, you do it.

              You just have to be there and games like these don't happen to us on a regular basis.

                We took 5k to Man Utd for the cup midweek and this is a bigger game and similar journey so why not.

                Yes its a weekday but its a Friday so no work for many the following day so the late arrival home should not pose a problem add to that its in the evening so some could attend work in the morning/early afternoon perhaps take the afternoon as leave and still make the game (obviously accept need understanding employers)

                Personally I think it will be close to a sell out but my main concern is the short space of time to turn the tickets around given Sunday and Monday the box office will be closed leaving really only 3days to buy and or get to box office in person

                  hope we do - but Wigan will be a tough one to fill - they won't even fill their end so why will we accept 5K? can't we take the smaller allocation and judge?

                  The only one i can make is reading so hoping on that

                    I dont think its an allocation you just get the end and if you can fill it great if you cannot tough

                      I think it would be great if we could sell out! 5k behind the goal has got to inspire the boys and intimidate Wigan

                        Although when you think of our record in front of big away followings...........

                          Hope we don't get charged £40 when we went there.

                              Wests I think you'll find it was a lot more than that, terrific night except for the result
                              I blew a lot on vodka and tonic, gambling and fags. Looking back, I think I overdid it on the tonic. - The one and only Stanley Bowles
