Full house Saturday?

**Barry Shitpeas** · 29-03-16, 15:02

Just renewed and the bloke at the ticket office said the ground is almost full with very limited availability. That's if all the freebies are used of course. I wonder if they will look to open the red stand at all.
He also said that season tickets are selling like mad.

This is great news if true, I'll believe it when I see it mind.

**Dénia Bluebird** · 29-03-16, 16:14

Me too! To go from 15000 to 34000 in one game is asking a lot. 20000 plus is quite possible.

**Llanedeyrnblue** · 29-03-16, 16:21

Any idea how many Derby are likely to bring?

**Packerman** · 29-03-16, 16:24

more than Leeds

2000 apparently

**Lawnmower** · 29-03-16, 17:30

Main bowl filling up well, corner blocks still plenty of space, with 2k away fans I'd say we are on 22-23k already.

**Penarth Blues** · 29-03-16, 17:46

Still quite a few seats left on-e-ticketing - I reckon about 5,000 not including the family stand, the upper stand and the away end.

So around 20,000 seems to be a reasonable guess right now. Be interested to know how many season tickets we've sold mind... If it is around the 8,000 quoted last week then I'm surprised we still have this many seats unclaimed.

I've also managed to find 4 'enthusiastic' punters (OK - 1 enthusiastic and 3 just curious) to take up my spare 4 tickets so those at least will be used I hope. I hope we do see a good crowd on Saturday

I was told last week that the Family Stand was pretty full and only seats left were near the front, seeing that the block next to it is more than 1/2 gone ( and it was near empty yesterday) I'd say they are now using it as overspill.
Only a few hundred in Nin, Canton and Granstand, plus 2 large and 2 small corner blocks under 50% full, I'd say a few more than your guess as the lower bowl capacity is 28k +

You're probably right about the crowd that will be announced - I was trying to estimate how many will actually turn up.

Either way it's great to be talking about a crowd of 20k+ again however it was achieved!

The day would be complete with our leader Vincent Tan walking round the pitch and a win.

Why?

I hope he genuinely has learned from his mistakes and just stays away from any the limelight going forward. The club is healing, people are starting to forgive so let's concentrate on the pitch.

This. I'd like to see Tan there and hope he would get praise for learning from his mistakes #CityAsOne

He has been a part of the fan connection, it takes a big man to realise his errors and move on .

I can think of a few owners who have no idea, or want to accept the error of their ways.
