Got a feeling a few grounds are gonna see a strange uplift in ticket sales for home sections in this run in 😂

Portsmouth already sold out.

Northampton, previous booking history only.

Wycombe and Cambridge more likely as they have no fans 😂

Did you watch the game at PP? We sofa fans had the benefit of replays.

Both yellows for their defender were ridiculous. One for handball when it hit him from two hards away, the second Hourihane dived.

Gayle also handled the ball for the penalty.

Gayle’s opening goal looked offside too.

Did you watch the game at Bolton away, same ref, did you watch last seasons away game at Plymouth, same ref.

766 tickets available now.

I am guessing each new area needs a few more stewards so more planning and costs, so they make sure everything is (almost) sold before thinking of opening new ones

There is no new areas.

Down to the last few tickets, 42 more just appeared at the back of the West stand.

Just 250 left for Bolton now.

Here is what tickets we have left for our remaining home games.

Reading 3,987.

Blackpool 3,599.

Leyton Orient 4,696.

Carlisle 3,607.

Obviously if we get close to selling out these games there will be more  ( probably around a thousand) added to this figure.

Portsmouth tickets on sale this morning to 15+ members.

Our stated allocation is 2,196.

Currently there are 1,391 tickets available on sale.

 There is still 4 more blocks to open up, which I think they will wait until we have sold the initial tickets in case we don’t sell them and they can release them to their fans.

The rest of the ground has been sold out for a while.

Very disappointing, with only 5 home games left . Most of our income comes from ticket sales and almost a £1 million a year rent to pay on PP. I know everyone is skint but Clowes must wonder how he is going to raise cash for players next season.

I don’t think 24,000+ on a Tuesday night in March in League One is that disappointing.

It will be the lowest home crowd of the last five.

433 tickets left.

Extra seats added in the South and East stand today.

Great to see a separation of safe standing and designated SEATING at Portsmouth with a warning it WILL be implemented. 

We will see. 

😂 So was Bristol Rovers.

538 tickets left.

Ticket sales for this one are very slow with the big game on Saturday, fans are sitting this one out.

Still 4,393 tickets left.

858 tickets left.

Great atmosphere, the new stand is still a bit rubbish, with posts in the way, but much better than last year's! And not a cup of tea to be had in the ground. What's that all about? 

Strangely there were a lot of empty seats on our row, I think because some fans chose to "double up" at the end of rows, spending all their time and energy goading the home fans in the same stand. Their behaviour climbing across the divide after we scored the second goal was downright embarrassing and the sooner they are banned from away games the better, imo. 

Anyway, when I could actually concentrate on the game (they were right in my eyeline for the net at our end) I thought that first half we looked sharp and incisive up to the final ball, then didn't quite get it right.

It actually helped us second half when they came at us as we had room to play on the break. A comfortable win where we could have won by an even greater margin, apart from a big miss by Waggy and some unintentional heroics from one of their defenders when Smith's shot was bound for the net. 

We started in fine voice, got a bit distracted by the stupid baiting of their fans and then picked it up again once the goals started going in. Nice to learn the words to some of the newer songs, everyone seemed to get a tune today.

Good bouncing, will that stand hold was my biggest worry!  😟 😉

 

Lots of fans standing on the stairways again, they came in just as we kicked off. The lad that ran on to the pitch and celebrated with the players and then managed to get back into the crowd again, was standing next to me when we scored, and I was on row U.

Should I feel a little guilt that I wished them to score one so I could get my first correct score of the season in the ‘Prediction League’…….I know one goal could be the difference end of season but am I not allowed my moment of glory? 

I predicted 2- 1 to Derby with Gayle to score first, which was on, I was happy to be wrong.

Poor formation for an away day breakfast plate imho; sausage should be between the defensive beans and rotated to prevent the midfield scrambled egg being encumbered with defensive duties. Egg should be deployed further forward and ahead of the hash-browns, with the mushrooms out wide but given license to cut in and play as a number 10. Really don’t believe the combination of fried & scrambled eggs ever works; they’re just too similar. At least one of the slices of toast should’ve been given a starting position to give added structure to the team, supporting the bacon which appears somewhat isolated and awkwardly placed in the way of the hashbrowns. Bizarrely part of the beans seem to currently be deployed as a wing-back…I can’t see that working at all. I’m liking the look of the fresh orange on the bench but not sure it’s got enough in the tank to last the whole 90 minutes. Just don’t think that line-up is going to cut the mustard today. Really need the lad Brown on there too, just to spice it up a bit. 

Not much preparation time with 3 games every week. It’s ok I’ve got the Italian international, Latte ready to come on.

Game day breakfast.

Trouble is we do this all the time then somehow a 27 k crowd is always anouced 😂,, I reckon they should announce attendance and tickets sold figures

We don’t though, we have had a couple just under 30k and a 28k+.

Only Portsmouth have bought the full allocation 3k.

We don’t normally sell the 4 blocks in the East stand nearest the away fans, now on sale ( including the 2 next to me ) adding another 400+.

Quite a few restricted view seats at the front of the stands are yet to go on sale but probably will in the next day or two.

Unless large numbers don’t turn up on the day, this will comfortably be our biggest crowd of the season.
