Sleepy1968 Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 I haven't seen anything on the official site but it looks like there are about 170 odd home tickets left for the Reading game. Reading have sold 1,111 with no POTD sales for away supporters. Allowing for some unsold corporate/hospitality seating in the Lower Lansdown (in places actual fans might have wanted to sit, rather than be forced down into near pitch level rows), we must be looking at a crowd of 22,000+. Amazing. Are some POTD prospects going to be disappointed or can City magic up some unsold seats from somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Reading only bringing 1.1k then maybe we should have left the Atyeo as it was on Weds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the website they are expecting a crown in excess of 20,000 !! but as you say there seems to be very few tickets left for the home ends, maybe they can open up the Atyeo for home fans if there is a late rush for potd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full nelson Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Bring your waterproofs as it’s going to be one wet game with a possibility of 16-20mm of rain falling over the course of the game!! We will see how good the drainage is tomorrow for sure..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosey Boy Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 I would hope/expect that City will open up the Atyeo tomorrow for POTD with Reading only bringing 1.1k. I do wonder whether Avon & Somerset will allow us to do that though? Hope the boys have stayed off the turkey today - 3 points crucial tomorrow Yoooo redddsssd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading have got to have one of the least threatening fan base. Odd lot they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Able to go last minute, and there were 95 available in W1. So may all be gone on the day (unless they open the Atyeo as suggested). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they not trying to ban alcohol at Welsh national matches because the fans can behave themselves? Used to have to put up with rugby fans when on the train home to London, they would get in at Bath and Reading, they were at best embarrassing and at worse a set of idiots. Hope you enjoy your day.

wendyredredrobin Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 I was hoping for a crowd of 23k to 24k for this one. Being a boxing day, there may be quite a few who dont fancy another afternoon of their in laws and decide to potd. Weather not great though so may deter a few. For anyone waivering, get down to the the gate, experience a fantastic atmosphere and support our great team of Manchester conquerers. Much better than watching a bunch of egg chasers.

This is fag packet maths based on the website. This is based on no fans in the Atyeo. We’ve clearly not sold that many, if it’s POTD and no announcement has been made about the Atyeo being open. If anything, there will be at least 10% kept back for POTD, which aren’t showing as available. So maybe about 21k sold. Although thennthey usualy say “a crowd of over 21k is guaranteed” not “a crowd of over 20k is anticipated” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the upper w2 - w6 have been opened and sold though, maybe wrong and they have sold, but it always says sold out before they release any in those blocks (bar the family blocks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Thing about home fans in the atyeo for potd would there have been any consultation with stewards/police for how many required? Say for whatever reason we had a flood of city fans turn up they could be understaffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
