I think there could be around 500/600 for this one. I'm sure it'll be advertised well in the local press. Fans will bring there mates along, ground hoppers will likely attended, and with it being a Tuesday night local fans of other clubs who may go watch another team on a Saturday may attend. I'd hope we could take at least 150/200 even on a Tuesday night.
Like you said it's a one off game, league form can go out the window in the Play-Offs. It would make the journey back a whole lot better knowing we have a final to look forward to on the Saturday!

Perhaps the guess of 200 Diamonds fans was a bit conservative!

They don't let you get 200 on a coach these days. Health and Safety don't you know

Diamonds fans are not generally lovers of using the coach. I think there were only two Supporters Coaches to Dover with the majority of our massive support that day preferring the train and cars.
The same will apply tomorrow.

I know some people did read the preview to spot the news that the game would be segregated (and which end we have been allocated) when it was published yesterday morning, but more information has been added regarding the restrictions on the bar as well as on away seating -

Albion fan here in peace! Hoping you bring a few fans to create a good atmosphere!
I would estimate that there will be around 300-450 Wittoners as we usually get more for the big games so I would estimate a gate of 550-750 depending on how many of you travel.
We have played some great stuff this season ... it all comes down to tomorrow night though so may the best team win! You can be assured of a warm welcome at Witton.
Whatever the result all the best for the future and have a safe journey.
