Salford is in august and our second home game I think. Fancied opposition and an attractive game. It’ll be close to sold out. 2200 tickets for walk up fans? What are you on about?
We get the larger 1200 of the away end for every game apart from Mansfield and Wombles + 1000 left in the home end - ST holders = 2200.

I mean the constant update about how there’s allegedly few tickets left…does it happen at other clubs or is it because it’s still a novelty at town?
It’s not allegedly. It’s a fact. Then the club announce a crowd of 7200 then claim we don’t need to expand !! I don’t think for one second the solution is as easy as some would think. But ignoring the problem doesn’t mean it isn’t there. It most certainly is. And yes, if the same situation arose at other clubs it would be brought up on forums. Contrary to some beliefs, Town fans on the whole are no different as a group to other supporters. Up there in the ratings of most passionate. But when someone says ‘only Grimsby fans’ etc they are normally talking bollox.

I suppose you can flip it both ways , will we sell out against the powerhouses of Crawley, Salford, Colchester and Barrow on a Tuesday night ? Which have all fallen before Xmas ?
But if the home fixtures had been reversed and we had 9 of the bigger teams who would want the full away end as the first 9 games would we need more seats , we all know the answer is yes - 4 of those minimum could fill the full away end and more probably .
The can is effectively kicked down the road for 6 months , but you would hope there is a contingency plan for after Xmas if we are doing well because it would turn into a scramble for tickets and a bit of a mess as there is no way Bradford,Notts,Doncaster and Wrexham are letting us have the larger section of the away end and I doubt Swindon,Tranmere,Walsall and Stockport would either.

What's 'alleged' about it specifically? - the system shows the tickets that are available for sale.

Walsall I don’t think would bring 500+ and Swindon/tranmere would probably be borderline. Obviously all depends on how the respective teams are performing in the league I guess. Bradford/Donny/notts county could well fill the whole end and Stockport/Wrexham/Mansfield wouldn’t be far off it.

The club should have put the control room in that Osmond corner right from the start.
I've been looking at YouTube videos, tryng to work out when the control room was built. It wasn't there for the Arsenal FA Cup game in January 1986, but had been constructed by the time we played Hull in 1987.
I'd take a stab at somewhere between 1986 and 1987.

No , for every game until Xmas barring this and Mansfield we will have 2200 walk up tickets , if we are consistently seeling them i think it's then a pressing issue ; let's see how many turn up for Salford on a cold Tuesday night .
Current forecast temperature for 15 August is 24c so home sell out then.

Around 60 tickets left for Saturday. The Luddites will be praying there is one left.
