I hope there is a big crowd for Saturdays home game against Forest. Anybody know how ticket sales are going?

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

SBR lower sold out.

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

It's not the sitting down but the standing up again lol

My personal assistant usually helps with that sort of thing!

Sitting in row Z upper South stand no problem, great view everything.. Just the climbing of the steps. is now catching up with me..

Mind you if we win amazing how little things like this don't seem so important

Christ it sounds like a geriatric day out.

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 think it will be around the 24,000 mark.

Even I'm going saturday, exciting times!

24,001

Blimey I sit up there too but higher AD row I might have passed you and not known.

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.

Thats why have to have an aisle seat as have to get out to the loo quickly at half-time.

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

Well move, lol!

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.

hahahahahaha !

mark, you just gotta get yer Scottish as down to PR and more especially in the lower tier if SBR!!

Not going to move, been sitting in same seat since very first game the upper tier was opened. Just saying quite easy to find if wanting to.

http://www.itfc.co.uk/news/article/mick ... 20875.aspx possibly 25000 now

So what is the crowd today after all that. Anyone at the game can confirm ?

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.

Awesome noise at times. Tbh crowd very nervous especially after that stupid og. But my God what a noise when Freddie struck the winner.
