Will forest be the highest attendence of the season on sunday?

[Jimmy23]

What do u guys reckon?

 

[blader]

Probably yes, considering there should be some actual away fans for a change.

Between 20-25 I think.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

No, the Wembley final will be our highest

 

[SwissBlade]

Yeah it'll be our biggest home attendance so far

Unless of course we do the unthinkable - beat them, get a home draw v Man City etc and all the so called blades crawl out of the woodwork to support the blades against a "big team"

 

[Torrix1889]

Never want to see United lose but i still dont care about the cup, play the kids and get it out the way

You flying back for the City game then

That won't happen. Clough takes the cup seriously. Anyway, at this stage of the cup why on earth wouldn't you be happy with us progressing? Having said that, let's not get all suicidal if we do go out. We've done well to get this far.

Ha ha Sadly not, I work an 8-2 rotation (although I've worked 11 this time to be home for me mums birthday) so I won't get back next time until after Easter

 

[gavtheblade]

What times the kick off for this one??
Are they doing the sensible thing and keep the ticket prices reasonable.?

I would be delighted if we progressed but i would swap it for 3 points

Is that really a serious question???? Both time, day and prices gave been mentioned in numerous posts. Sunday 3pm cheap.

Surprised everyone thinks we will get such a big crowd. Forest will bring 5,000 but as shown v Fulham the other week, Brum the other year and Villa a few years ago (wasn't that only 15,000 or so?), it seems many don't come for the Cup sadly. Think it will be less than 20,000 but not far off that figure.

 

[galidia_nffc]

Is the total away allocation around 8000, when the Westfield corner bit is used? Pretty sure we'd be able to fill those 8000 seats up (if allowed)

 

[DazBlade88]

I believe Forest sold over 4,000 tickets yesterday, so they're definitely selling out whatever we give them. I presume we'll give them the upper corner to make it around 6,500?

Anything less than 25,000 with that away following will be massively disappointing in my opinion.

 

[Houso]

I'd say highest so far, but I reckon Roth will get a higher attendance.

Can't see the Westfield ever being used for away fans considering the exit discharges into the South stand'

Nightmare to police

Yes but not the round of 16 mate. It's getting serious now

 

[mattbianco1]

Away teams can request 15% of the grounds capacity in cup competitions as long as can be fully segregated. We offer more than that with the BL end anyway so I can't see the corner being used unless forest request it and we & the police/stewards agree.

Also, it's been discussed in the past about ticket prices etc. the FA Rules state that the prices from 3rd round onwards should be a minimum of £15 (adults) - unless mutually agreed by both clubs.

This document also states that we can charge away fans more than home fans "IF" the away team "agrees".

Having spoken to someone in the box office, the demand for Forest tickets has been incredible, so given that Forest will bring at least 5000, I'd be disappointed if we didn't have a further 22-25000 to add to that. Easily 25K, but hoping for a far bigger gate.

I'll give you a tenner for every thousand below twenty if you'll reciprocate for every thousand above?

I reckon you'll need to find £50.

And if it's twenty then you have to snog each other in public.

 

[GlosBlade]

Got three for the south stand online today, much more choice than I expected, looks like a fair few of what I would assume are normally season ticket seats didn't get around to buying their seats before they went on general sale. Hopefully it will be a 25000 ish crowd but not looking like that at the moment.

yes it was a serious question actually.
Not that i expected a stupid answer of course.

What was stupid about that answer? How about looking on the official site if you haven't seen any of the twenty or so mentions on here.

 

[Jack Jarvis Esquire ⚔]

27k I reckon

 

[sheffielder]

27k seems a popular guess

 

[Hartley Hare]

Need to get a ticket for Sunday.

I am pretty sure I sat in the John Street family stand last year with the boy. This does not appear to be available online, or the Westfield corner which is often mentioned as a good spot.

Are these locations only available by phone?

Where is seat reference FE/FEF (in the middle on John Street?)

I have booked into the Copthorne for Sunday evening, which should give our leader another £60 to spend on the first team.

Thinking of going for a few beers on Sunday evening at the Cat.

[PeterNdlovu081]
