Meanwhile, ticket sales for Saturday’s crunch home game against Nottingham Forest have passed the 21,000 mark.. According to TWTD :)

When your knees give up the ghost due to 'excess life experience' it is probably best not to have to bend them by sitting anyway :wink:

I think anything less than 24,000 would be a disappointment. Take in mind what is on offer, the final home game of the normal league season, a chance to be at Portman Road for the last time until August to see a league game and as before the opportunity to be present in a game that could see the club back again participating in the play-offs after a decade away. I would jump at the chance to be there if it were possible and those that are able to attend should be promised a fine afternoon of entertainment.

I'd really like to see over 26,000 in attendance given all that has been mentioned and the importance of everything, but even now it seems a little doubtful. I do hope to be proved wrong and as many attend as possible and really provide something that will encourage our players. (And unnerve the opposition)

I'm just hoping that Chambo gets them to thrive infront of the big crowed. I slightly worry that tommy and bartosz will be affected by it.

Im more worried about another opposition targeting Chambers at right back and Smith failing to cover adequately when Chambers is left for dead as the winger skips past him to whip in a countless crosses.

I think Chambo has been okay lately I have no issue with him at RB, I think he is trying to do 3 jobs in 1. Be a right back as he is selected there, be CB as Smith balls' up like Bramble and be right mid as Ando is non existent. Chambo is captain fantastic.

Well just listen out for a group of around 10 or so people in section 2 moaning straight after we kick off and the ball get passed to Mings and bang up it goes heading towards Murphy.. That'll be part of the group i sit with

Definitely DO NOT take Hallams advice, Steve. DO NOT move.

STAY. Stay and join in with them......, but over exaggerate their comments.

Example:
Them: Oh for Gods sake another hoofball.
YOU (but much much louder) and standing up: FOR FK SAKE!! HOOOOF. GET IT SORTED MICK! (Sit down)
Them: why the hell is Chaplow playing down that side, aw hoof again.
YOU (still louder) standing up: CHAPLOW???! FFS! HOOOOOOF (sit down)
Them (now wondering what the hell you are doing): I don't think Skuse is really with it today. What was that, Tommy?
YOU (almost screaming with spit flying out of your mouth): TOMMY? TOMMY? FKN TOMMY FKN SMITH, YOU FKN DISGRACE TOMMY...... SKUSE, GET A GRIP YOU DAFT BSTD. AWWWWW HOOOOOOOFFFFFF

They'll soon shut it, Steve. Don't move.

Crowd today was 25, 199

(Notts Forest brought 1,050)

I thought there may have been 26,000 + but nonetheless that's a decent turn-out but still room for one or two extra for a game of such importance.
