Off the field operations

Just got the cup tickets. Really hope we can get a decent crowd, think the club deserve as much backing as we can give them. £10 is fair value imo, will be some good first teamers on show possibly for the first time too.

Feel weird cheating on me season ticket seat though

 

Chance of 30k imo

Need to release a load more seats, though

Only putting a few blocks on sale originally is ridiculous

 

Hope so mate. I get it about the blocks but kind of only have ourselves to blame with previous cup attendances. Hopefully people dont mind just moving seats for one game, is it really that big a deal?

I'd be chuffed if we got 30k through the door. Keep the momentum going.

 

I used to get it regarding the blocks but not now. The club is flying and the fans are buzzing

Aston Villa tickets went on sale this morning and they’re basically gone.

 

Yeah absolutely. But club will be hesitant after previous cup games. We were battling for automatics when we played Stoke and the attendance was rotten.

I think this will be the last time they do it for the foreseeable when they hopefully see the demand is back for the cup games. Would really like to see some encouragement online to get the fans into the ground for this one.

 

Villa sold out now I believe.

 

In fairness though mate, weeks before that cup game RLB said himself it would be pretty much the youth team and those not getting any minutes, bar one or 2 returning from injury. Didn't exactly make it enticing to go watch it

 

Which blocks are open?

 

U4 U5 U6 and L3 L4 L5 L6

 

They did the same with the Stoke game. Would have preferred East Stand. But they weren't on sale at the time. Ended up right at the back of the South stand

 

Ordered our 6 for Huddersfield. Cant grumble at the pricing.

Should be a strong team we put out as well

 

What time is the kick off?

 

7.45 mate

 

think it be the second string team to give them needed minutes mate

 

Would have thought they would have had it earlier, get more bairns there, we obviously won't be a televised game

 

Its on Sky Plus mate

 

Our second string is still a very good team

 

aye should be good enough to win the game

 

Horrible afternoon that was. Wasted my time going

 

As much as I'd love a cup run, none of the first selection players should be anywhere near these type of games.

It's a chance for the fringe players to play themselves into contention, build up fitness or use it as a phased return for any players returning from injury.
