You are in denial I am afraid. You said last Friday that your 'source' had told you that only 16000 had been sold, which was patently incorrect . Then you said it was impossible to have sold 11000 tickets in 3 days but even your own figures indicate over 10000 went in that period. Then you said the crowd would be 25-26000 max but over 26000 had been sold yesterday afternoon, 6 days before the game, even if we assume that Man City allocation is included in the 26000 (which it may not be). Now all we need is Hilts to come back on, mention a game that took place over 6 years ago and reiterate that there is 'no way' we will get a 30000 crowd for an FA Cup match.
