We'd sold just over 4000 total earlier today, apparently. I reckon about 5300 in total. Weather isn't supposed to be anything special (rain, in fact), so can't see that encouraging anyone to make a late decision to go to WR.

1603 home fans at FGR v Fleetwood on Tuesday. We could fit nearly all of them in our away end. I don’t think they’ll bring more than 500.

I think the seats will more or less sell out (3000) and the terraces will be around 1/2 full (1400).

So, 4900ish

Apparently we’d sold 700 by Tuesday evening, if that’s true I would expect us to possibly bring around 800.

Fair play, that would be a very decent turnout in the circumstances.

For some strange reason they have a picture of Dan N’lundulu in their pre match fans info

They must be in denial and pretending/wishing the last four months haven’t happened.

Interesting that Big Dunc wasn’t overly happy that you didn’t have a game midweek whilst we did. Said it could be a big advantage, although tbh I doubt it will make much difference.

Did your players actually make any effort midweek?

He’s making excuses now for his ineptitude and poor management skills.

It’s one of the most remarkable feats of self-delusion, but on the FGR forum you’ve still got fans sticking up for BD. ‘Give him til Xmas’; ‘he’s proven quality’.

He has never proven quality. He comes across well on radio and I like him. But he has never managed before and he’s (statistically) surely the worst manager EVER in the history of English football. (I await to be corrected :) )

He’ll hoodwink vince becuase all Dale wants is publicity and BD brings it. But he has disaster written all over him

I feel so sad for their real fan base

FGR fans can now buy tickets on the day tomorrow.

So much for a big derby game...

Like I said, expect there will be at least around 2-300 unsold. Maybe selling on the day will push that number down a bit.

Don’t think we’ve ever sold out have we?

No I don't believe you've ever sold out either but if we are giving Block 8 to home fans then first two blocks of the away end will be netted over leaving total capacity at about 800 I would imagine.

We were allocated 1027 tickets apparently.

That was probably initially but since some of the away end has been opened up to home fans as we tend to sell out of 3000 home seats for most games at this level.

Which is around, or just under, the capacity of the Hazelwoods Stand, so the 1027 will still be what is available.

The most you had was 944 in November 2019.

804 in 2015, 765 in April 2018 and 879 in December 2018.

It looks like you've been given the whole of the Hazelwoods as usual.

Block 7 of the CF sold out. Block 8 has about 50 tickets remaining. Main stand all but sold out too, bar a few single seats dotted about.

Going to be a very decent crowd. Could be significantly over 5000.

4650 home tickets sold inc ST holders. Should be at least 5500 there tomorrow.

Three things in life are guaranteed:
Death, taxes, and CTFC playing c!#p in front of a decent crowed against FGR.

60 seats left for Cheltenham. It’ll be 6,000 I’d guess

Surely it won't be that high, when was the last time we had 6000 in the league, which would mean 5500 home fans? Must be the Brighton home game back when Wardy was in charge.

We built the extra 2,000 seats then?

This has to be a computer glitch, but the PRE and Tunnel both now showing as limited availability on the ticket booking website. :shock:

Dale Vince sponsored cyber attack.

Just seen this on their forum: “You didn’t feel fully safe at Cheltenham so why bother, hence 400 unsold for a game nearer home than TNL.”

Anyone know what our highest ever league game attendance is?

We may not hit it due to FGR not turning up so - what’s the highest HOME attendance?

Leeds in 2007 probably.
7,043 that day.
Capacity is less now for some reason?

Thanks fuller. We can confidently say that won’t be beaten today!

In recent times I’m going to nominate Halifax at home in the National League season. We had half the Hazlewoods for that game.

5143 home fans (plus 102 from Halifax). Any advance on that?

Plenty of police in town. A few vans outside Spoons from 1030.

Everyone wants to revel in Forest Green's misery, it seems.
