Quoted from Youngy
If Sears is going to be given a chance, surely this is the game to do it? I completely agree that Dover will be harder to break down then we think but there goals scored record suggests there not going to be too expensive. This would be the perfect game to bed him in and show what he can do.


Agree completely, I’d be disappointed to see Clifton selected ahead of Sears at RB not only because it’s Sears’s best position (I’d assume) but Harry us in decent form in mid field at the moment too.

I doubt we will get any of the Osmond for Notts County. Dover isn't likely to present a security risk but Notts probably does. If that's the case, may as well give them full allocation and if they sell it, more money for us.

If we treat them poor, we will probably get similar treatment for the return fixture.


This was part of my point, although I didn't make it explicitly - Notts don't usually sell out the Osmond, they may do this time but that would be a first. We could end up turning away GTFC fans with a two thirds full Osmond Stand. We have split it before - the Fulham play-off semi in 98 - it was split a third for home fans with two thirds for Fulham with a segregation line between.

I think they could have gone up that day, if I remember correctly. They didn't, obviously, and went down the next season instead. Great scenes at the end of that game, even if they were to be short-lived in the big scheme of things.

It's pretty simple anyway. You offer Notts County with the option of the final third if they sell out three or four days before the match. If they don't, allocate it to Town fans - can't say fairer than that?

1566 officially Notts fans on that day  - 300 short of full on a day when they could have clinched promotion with a win. On that form for a National League game I'd say 1200 is perfectly fair...

I wonder how cute we are being with tickets. Notice it's always 'tickets issued' rather than sold and then the attendance is quite a bit lower than that figure. Suspect we are giving a decent whack of free tickets out to schools etc which is great and I wonder if the amount given relates to the amount we expect to sell. So if we could actually sell one out we'll then significantly reduce what's handed out and the tickets issued will be v similar to the attendance. Added bonus is it's creating a buzz and a bit of a 'better get my ticket bought' mentality which then boosts crowds further. All good stuff.
