No more than 500 ticks left on general sale and with Leicester taking their full allocation definitely looks like 30k+ again.
I know there are special circumstances but it does look to me that the egg is no match for the Premier. (Yes I know there will be 50k there, most will be pissed up on the Llanelli train I will be on!)
Think there’s still loads left for the middle tier of the Ninian not on sale yet and maybe more in the top tier
With Leicester selling their full allocation we should get 30k. Tremendous crowd IMO.Quote:

Even better considering the egg is on at the same time just a mile down the road.Quote:

Wouldn’t it be good if we announced Leicester fans are welcome to buy seats in the home end for this. Seems lots want to come to pay their respects so why not welcome them?Quote:

They have sold out and they won’t be depriving city fans of any seats as they will just remain empty otherwise.
What an opportunity to show football fans can actually behave like adults.
Theres not a few thousand spare seats available. Plus we will have some walk up.Quote:

We're not hosting a wake on Saturday, as soon as the 90 minutes start then Leicester fans making themselves known in the home end should be asked to leave. Before and after are obviously different circumstances but it's a football match we should be looking to win and part of that is a supportive home crowd, and not supportive of away team.Quote:

They do not show all areas available, but rather issue (highlight blue areas) available blocks when they feel like. It would be a good idea to have a reading on the e-ticketing/stadium lay out on how many have been sold so far. I fear in the past, people have gone online and think we can't get a batch where we want to sit and give up. Next day the area is not greyed out anymore.Quote:

Plus there’s 117 which is usually left until last.
Leicester’s 3000 should take us comfortably over the 30k, but it does seem that aside from the big games we will not regularly sell the home end, which sort of puts to bed any thoughts of expanding the stadium.
However I’m really pleased we have got those extra 5500 seats as at least a decent % of them are used every week now
This is a MYTH, once on general sale, anyone can buy one, all you have to do is give your name and addressQuote:

Don't think this is the case, a friend of mine has said he's got a ticket for the Man U match and he's not a member of any sort. Saying that, he's also got a ticket for Everton away and he doesn't meet any of the criteria.Quote:
