25k plus

[ourbob]

....if this was at home today.

What a shame it isn't.

 

[boo radley]

It'll be the above 21k anyway and higher than most championship games and some premiership games and we still have the Home fixture to look forward to.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Be even more than 25k if it was against Man U at home, but it isn't that either

 

[Tyler Durden]

Well Bradford are our penultimate home game of the season.
If we play our cards right, we could be pushing for 30k by then

 

[SteveBlade]

Blades top, Bradford 2nd, both already promoted. They sell out, we sell out.

37k.

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Quickest ground extension on record beforehand then !

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

I had a quick look on their ticketing website yesterday and there's very few seats left around the ground, just a few together on the very back 2 rows in the area we are and only random seats in other parts of the ground!
Should be a cracking atmosphere

 

[SwissBlade]

If it was anyone at Hillsborough Piggery they always get 800Million (minimum)

The return fixture will be a sell out hopefully. A bank holiday Monday and with only 3 games of season left it could be a promotions party... oh no what if the football gods see this ...

Don't worry, there are no football gods, or gods of any kind.
Every second we live takes us one step closer to the abyss.

Have a great weekend

If they see this it will be a must win to avoid relegation match

[gavtheblade]

There may be that many seats in the ground but the plod never permit to fill every one, for safety / segregation reasons. Even if the away fans were given the BL upper and lower and the Westfield Corner, the cops would still insist on closing half of H Block and the BL end of the JSS. The only situation we could fully fill the ground is if there were no away fans at all.

Is that how the massive quote theirs? Capacity of 30k but there were 37k inside, honest.

 

[8lade]

eee it's just like the fourth division all over again, I hope we turn them over this time.

Just checked - apparently we did them 2-0 at their place, that'll do for me today.

Safe standing.

Extra 5k.

37k.

Sell out.

Think it is about 30,500 in reality, didn't we have that situation in the cup run?

The South Stand's capacity looks oddly low in comparison to the Kop and John Street. I suppose the seating is lower density on the South Stand, but it's still surprising.

there is more room between the seats to accommodate walking sticks and zimmer frames...

Yeah but blades fight blades when things get tough. Maybe they should consider segregating our own fans if we lose a few?
