Sky.

Shit.  Hate watching it in the pub.  Might have to drag my arse up to brum and go to the game.

Apparently 20k tickets left, surely that can't be right?


Don't think so - had a quick look at the ticket section on the site and apart from the edges (technical term!) most of the available seats are singles and not many of them from what I could see.

Does it say that on there? Where did you get the bit about singles from?
When I looked, there were no sections sold out and more than half were good availability. That was before Tuesday though. Maybe that has caused them to buy tickets in droves.

He's right, The whole of the North Stand lower and it's surrounding areas (excluding the away allocations) are sold out. In the Holte End, you can only get tickets along the wings of the Upper, apart from that there's only singles left. Various sections of the Trinity and Doug Ellis still have quite a few left, but this looks similar to the night before a league game, and with the best part of two weeks still to go it looks destined for a sell-out.

Definitely no more than 8k left.

I don't see why not. 40,000 at the very least.

Indeed. Bradford will have the usual two tiers in the Witton along with the North Upper. Does anyone know what their allocation is all together?

If the Blackburn fans had bothered to turn up the people sitting in the usual away bit would have been there instead I suppose. We got 40,406 in for that game, so if they had brought the amount Bradford will it would have been at capacity.

It was 2K below capacity, the vast majority of empty seats were in the Upper North where the Blackburn fans were and the Upper Witton where they returned tickets.
