People really need to stop beating themselves up if we don’t immediately get a full house when the tickets go on sale, there is a cost of living crisis still ongoing and as others have said the state of public transport midweek is shockingly poor so you have to drive.

Yes, this. Some fans seem to think if we don't get a full house everyone is going to think they have a small penis. It doesn't matter, and if you're worried what some arsehole is going to say about it on social media, grow a fucking backbone.

Or a larger penis.

Is dangling our appendages over the empty seat in front really going to make the ground look full?

The point being we want to be on the shirt tails of the "big (scum) 6" then we need to fill out every game - no matter who is playing or whom we are against.

Do we? I get the increased income and turnover argument but the difference between maybe 35k and 42k isn’t going to radically shift the dial.

This is the flipside of the Premier League uber alles mentality. Mr & Mrs Newfooty will bring the kids to watch the big stars in the Greatest League on Earth but all those silly little cups just get in the way.

Or maybe people can only afford the PL tickets and can’t come to the Cup games.

As an aside, the attendance for the Everton game does seem to now be offically listed in places as 23,851.

You would expect after all the trouble of getting into this competition and the continual messages that we have 000's on the waiting list that these games would be sold out in minutes rather than them pitching to sell.


It was sold out, and then at 5 yesterday a load became available. I'm not sure how feverishly people keep an eye on availability, but I imagine there'll be plenty gone by the time we play.

Because at 5 yesterday season ticket holders deadline to book their ST seat expired.

So basically until yesterday no seat held by a ST holder, all 30k of them, could be bought.

I think it's a bit early to worry about ticket sales when there's so long to go before the game.

I know, but the point I was trying to get across was that it said it was sold out. It didn't say 'more tickets coming soon' or 'check back later', it said 'Sold Out'. How many people will have been on beforehand in the hope of getting a ticket, seen that, not read the small print or realised its relevance, and thought, 'oh well, not going to that, then'?

If that’s what’s happening, it’s bloody stupid
