If anyone's down the ground, ask them how many sold.

I went earlier and bought my ticket for Stevenage and there was nobody else in sight.

Can't you pay on the day at Stevenage either,? This all ticket thing is a royal pain in the arsenal.

Just a nudge over 1000 sold so far if Stagstickets is anything to go by.

I reckon we’ll end up around 1400/1500

You'll be there, won't you? ;)


So you're going to bemoan the apathy of our fan base and in the same breath admit you aren't going because we aren't good enough. Right.


This sums this absolute .. up to a tee...

Would take Belly and broomo arguing any day over this negative .....

Going to be about 5K attendance.

Only one small side of the ground for home fans is open currently limited to 3000 tickets

I think it will be nearer 10,000, maybe a few more.

Their average attendance is 30000. I can’t believe that only 10 per cent of their fans will turn up, especially at those prices. But let’s see on Saturday.

We are not an attractive draw for these clubs higher up the leagues. There were only just over 6,000 at Cardiff for that 3rd round game, including a thousand from us.

Currently only 3k tickets available for home fans and not close to being sold out

Don’t really know where else to put this but Will Forrester is playing for Stoke U23’s tonight. I know Martin mentioned he would be. They’re winnin 2-0 with fifteen minutes to go.

I’m going 8,500 Sedgwick, 1,400 from Mansfield.
We will see.
I’ve been looking forward to going to this stadium for a while and it will be a shame if there’s only 5,000 there but we will see.
Anyway let’s hope for the win.

The bigger shame if that's all they were expecting is putting us in the gods miles from the pitch when there's absolutely no need!!!

Back of the goal in lower section would’ve been perfect for about 1500 stags . 6 tickets bought today by us worksop chaps.

Sunderland took 2.600 to Rotherham on Saturday and tonight are taking 4000 to Sheffield weds . They have Arsenal away in quarter final of EFL. Loads will be going there . I reckon we will suffer with the attendance on Saturday but all in all it’s the biggest draw we could’ve got really.
