Any chance we'd fill either? Personally I think it'll be a cold day in hell.............. :cry:

But I'll be there :D

We'd easily sell out those allocations assuming we haven't been thrashed in the first leg. I can see a scrum for 2nd leg tickets next weekend if we've got something out of the first leg, especially if it's Oxford we're facing...

I hope you're right Rob,it'd be embarrassing to see just 5-600 of us turn up at either, with loads of empty seats. Luton's truly atrocious ground will put some off, but I'd like to think we'll have problems getting tickets - but I'd be furious if I missed out having followed the side all season long.......crikey, having trouble getting tickets for a match?? It'd be like following a "proper" team :D

I'm afraid i honestly can't see us ever selling out those allocations, we struggled to get these sorts of numbers at home earlier in the season, admittedly on Tuesday nights when we weren't quite as successful. It would be fantastic if we could but i doubt it somehow. I think i can make these game...hopefully!

Don't think we'll easily sell the allocations out but I do think we'll get more than 500. It's surely the sort of game that most supporters whether they go to away games or not will consider going, considering we may have a trip to you know where to celebrate at the end. I think we would be looking at 800-1000 away fans for either game.

Well our average attendance is 1500 yes? Assuming 200 sell before Thursday. We then win 1-0 with a home crowd of 2500. Not sure what our ST numbers are but I'd say around 600. They'll will all buy tickets. Are you then suggesting we can't get the 700 pay on the day supporters we usually get to come to a second leg with a chance of Wembley? 1300/1500 is all of our regular support, remember there'll be fairweathers as well. Scrum I tell you, scrum. ;)

You've seen some of them on here complaining about paying to get in for the home leg right ;) :lol:

Well my son and I are really worried that we wont be able to get them! Not season ticket holders, nor Trust members. Ross has supported Diamonds since Autumn 2002, and seen dross virtually all the time. We cant get to the Home leg as I am working, so its the away leg or nothing! He (and I) are desperate for some to be left for "general" supporters. I really do think they will sell out at some stage. Hopefully not too soon!

I doubt it mate, i think you'll be fine. We took 700 to K*ttering, i can't see us taking 1300 to Oxford regardless of the fact its the play-offs.

I'm sure you'll get tickets alright, but this situation is a perfect example (as if there weren't enough reasons already) of why you should sign up for the supporters' trust! ;)
