Guest BoomTownOwls Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 If demand is sufficient they will make the whole of the Gil Merrick stand available to us. I hope we sell out the 4,200 in the lower tier comfortably. Many of our younger supporters will never have seen us play in the FA Cup 5th round. If we could come close to filling the entire stand it would make for a memorable away stand and would give us an advantage inside a half empty St Andrews. It will be well down their list of priorities with the League Cup final the following weekend and a relaegation battle to fight. Lets take 8,000 there and you never know we might win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innes Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Wow, that would be amazing. Just how bad is it around the ground? Would be a treck for me to get there and costs fairly steep.. but yep, for me would be the first 5th round cup draw I've seen! (bar the Paint trophy).

Lee A Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) With the cup final the following week, and their crowds being poor at the best of times, is there a chance we could out sell them? Would love to take over their place, Cant see us winning in the league any time soon, but for some reason, I see us getting through this one.

Wednesday-Wonderland Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I know a load of people who aren't going just because of what happened last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed I see us getting a draw and beating them back at Hillsborough. I think going into a game as underdogs will be a welcome relief from the pressure of expecting to beat everyone in league games. I reckon this might bring out the best in our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalowlisback Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I think if this game was at say, Villa - we would take 7k+ easily. Birmingham away, although the same city is a whole different ball game. We will do well to sell 5k to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, plus they're in a dogfight in the league, as well as the Carling cup final. It's as good a time as we could ask for to play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hirsty's Gut Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 There home support is shocking.and not much better away.went a few years back when we list 3-1 n esajas got a free kick. Like a library in there,empty seats everywhere. They've always been the poorer,scimitar neighbours of villa. Horrible ground n surrounding areas n all,one stands on the side is like a shed.joke club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Should make general sale if they are giving us additional seating. Will be a decent atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SWFC-Kier Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Got my ticket earlier, but didn't have enough to pay for coach, are there any coaches you can reserve and pay on the day? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugbyowl Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Coventry took over 6,000 in the last round for the short trip Surely we can better that Cov took 6000 and the whole gate was only 16700. Our gate against Hereford was about 16500 puts their p155 poor support in perspective. If we sell our full allocation we wont be far short of matching their support. With a good crowd behind us we can beat this lot on their own patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
