cheese Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 I hear we're likely to get a 9k allocation - will we sell out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 62,500 capacity. We should be entitled to 15% under FA cup rules. That’s 9,300. No reason why we shouldn’t sell out. It’ll be a new ground for everyone and that always attracts more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC1512 Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 A lot of London clubs drawn at home unfortunately, so It may not be Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will depend on the Tv games (Arsenal Liverpool will definitely be one), but the Met aren’t going to allow Arsenal, Spurs, West Ham, Chelsea and Millwall to all play at home same day. Given our history with the Met, they don’t even like us taking a full allocation to QPR, so I can’t imagine they are going to want 9,000 of us in London for a 3pm Saturday.

All Prem Arsenal v Liverpool Brentford v Wolverhampton Wanderers Crystal Palace v Everton Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley Others West Ham v Bristol City Chelsea v Preston North End QPR v Bournemouth Millwall v Leicester CIty AFC Wimbledon or Ramsgate v Ipswich Town Fulham v Rotherham United Others of interest Sunderland v Newcastle United Manchester City v Huddersfield Town Wigan Athletic v Manchester United I would think, one game shown Friday, 2 or 3 Saturday and 3 Sunday. I've highlighted the ones I think most likely to interest TV. Then there are Police recommendations , London ties and even fans travelling from Bristol on the same day. If I had to bet , I would say Sunday is favourite, but that is a guess. I don't think we will be a live game , but also I doubt the Met will want WHU , us Millwall and Leicester all in town on the same day.

They’ll definitely show Arsenal Liverpool as the prime time Sunday afternoon game. They’ll always have a low ranked team at home so likely Ramsgate v Ipswich. This will be the Friday night game. Man United will definitely be on tv as I think there’s something written in a tv contract somewhere that says every fa cup game of their must be shown. Saturday evening for that one. That leaves a Saturday lunchtime and a Monday night. I reckon they’ll switch ours to Monday night!! They don’t want 10,000 wurzels up there in that there London on a Saturday afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weepywall Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 I don't think we would sell 9k whatever day or time it was, yes it's a new ground but West Ham are a team we have played in the league since our top flight days. Spurs, Arsenal or Chelsea I think we would take those sort of numbers but not West Ham. 5 to 6 thousand I recon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a bit of hop skip and jump there, or the Olympics as some call it, does that count? Actually it’s quite a different stadium nowadays so probably no. Plus a lot of us count grounds we’ve seen City play on and that’ll be new for everyone. Please not Monday night though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba Yaga Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 I have been to a game there, think it was about row 40 which was quite near the front of the top section and the view was bad compared to other grounds but for me it was still watchable, don't like the idea of being near the back though. Stadium looks a bit cheap from the outside considering it hosted the olympics and is around 10 years old but it was a bargain for them so I guess they can't really complain.

Surely rovers will have all the trains good point Archie tbf I would imagine the gas will take a good 2-3,000 to naaarwich, bit different though 3,000 to 9,000 i also personally over the years think city travel by train more than rovers do .

Met are going to want to separate the 9,000 away followings at Arsenal, Spurs and West Ham. Prem teams only have 2 Christmas games (Championship 3) so Arsenal v Liverpool will be on the Friday. Primetime TV audience . We'll be Saturday, Spurs Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
