    India for example is 5.5 hours ahead of us. The reason for this was once explained to me thus. If you take your watch with GMT and turn it upside down, it looks like the time in India. Right now its almost 2pm, turn your watch around and it looks almost like 7:30.

    Impressive sales. Guess that's what happens when you make prices cheap. Although I suspect many see it as a holiday raffle ticket.

    Wonder what the team will be like. Maybe we'll give that Berbatov fella a trial.

    Indeed. I'm surprised that anywhere near that many people are interested, but it does show that the interest is there if the price is right.

    7500 tickets is ok but, - as City Man states on a different thread - if we had a cash turnstile for every stand I can imagine, at a quid entrance fee, the game would be nigh on a sell out.

    Even if they just opened the gates and made it free, there wouldn't be anywhere near 17,000 walk-ups.

    The appeal for many is the fact that for a quid, you get the chance of winning one of ten safaris, something you can't do with pay on the gate.In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if quite a lot of the people who've bought a ticket don't even bother going.

    I wondered whether some would have bought tickets to win a holiday with no intention of going. If so then they were obviously too lazy to read the Ts & Cs. You have to enter the ground before 6:30pm to be in with a chance of winning.

    A game with a thrown together Hull City XI against a bunch of unknown Kenyans would never sell out whether pay on the gate or free. 7,500 is a very good number.

    You can buy a ticket up to kick off from the club shop, or online and print at home.

    It is a good number and it's good that you've got to be in it to win it.

    It was a toss up whether to go to this one or watch the U23's, my Grandson had the decision and went for this one.

    Can't see SportPesa All Stars bringing many tonight. Not in this weather.

    <laugh> Tony's worth a follow if you're partial to a bit of Twittering.
