I think we will win. Hull have only sold 1000 tickets, which shows you how arsed they are about this game.

Good, the less away fans the better. I kind of wish we'd knocked prices way down to get the place rammed tomorrow.

Most areas are all but sold out. Looking very 40K'ish.


Just imagine the crowds we could get if we were challenging at the very top. I mean seriously challenging, not just a false dawn. The club still has so much potential.

I'm sure versions of this post have been done a few times already but the way I see it:

Regardless of what happens at Villa Park:

If Cardiff fail to win, they cannot catch us

If Fulham fail to win, they cannot catch us (they could with a draw, but they'd need a swing of 25 in GD and they'd have to beat Palace on the last day)

Norwich can lose and still catch us, but would need to beat arsenal and get +15 swing in goal difference by the last day).

Sunderland need 3 points and +3 goals from ManU (A) and Swansea and West Brom (I think they'll manage that)


This is assuming we don't pick up another point all season.  A win or a draw today would take a whole string of bizarre results for us to go.

Only 4 tickets left in P6, which indicates a fairly decent attendance  in my experience.

Only about 20 left on the entire Holte End this morning. Let's hope it's rocking.

Not exactly positive for Midlands football is it or for the friends we have who support Birmingham!

I hope they win and I hope we win.

I admire this attitude but sadly am not good enough or man enough to participate in it,
Just us winning will be fine thanks

I will be honest I am not really bothered what happens in Bolton today, but I don't see how Midlands football is really affected by the Noses dropping. There is only one team in the Midlands and they're playing in Aston today.

Haven't been this nervous for a long time. Probably since the FA cup final 2000

I hope the atmosphere matches the size of the crowd. Against Sunderland last season Alan Green remarked that there were 40,000 in the ground, but it sounded like 400,000.

Right its midday and I am on my way. I have changed my prediction to a 1-0 win Nathan Baker 63min!
