Pretty sure Notts gave Chesterfield 3000/3500 tickets a couple of weeks after playing us

As I mentioned on another thread, modernised Meadow Lane’s record attendance is 17,500, which came in their play-off game against Coventry in 2018. Coventry had 4,600 fans there that night. County got spanked 4-1.

So evidently, they can do it, and if the police can handle 4,600 Cov fans I don’t see why they can’t handle a similar number of Town fans. Question is, will County try on some MK Dons-esque shíthousery and purposely limit out allocation, or will the local constabulary use the press reports from our last visit there as an excuse?

If they give us 4,000 tickets, we’ll sell them in my opinion. My gut tells me it will provably be a similar amount to last time however. Our false reputation as drug addled, píss-soaked hooligans precedes us.

Yeah pretty sure they gave them a noticeably bigger amount than us shortly after.

At the very least you'd expect however many they gave us last time or else that's just gaming the system. How many actually was it?

Will the game be televised for those of us that inevitably can't get a ticket due to Notts County not giving us enough?

I'm fairly sure that all the play-off games are televised.

I went (bored and living close by at the time), and Coventry absolutely had the entire end, so yes it has been done.

More to the point there will inevitably be town fans in the home ends should we get some urine poor allocation, makes no sense at all as pretty much everybody that wants to go could be accommodated.

This gets churned out every time we have a big game, how many times have a significant number of Town fans ever been in the Home end for an all ticket game?
