Shropshire Star doubts that the record will go again as apparently of 1200 tickets Torqauy have for the South Stand they have only sold half... Thats terrible if true! How many did we take to Bury for the 2nd leg in 2009!! Also Oxford didn't bring many more than 600 ............. Oxford had 929 here.....

To be fair, it's a lot further than Bury was for us and it's on a Friday night - a lot of them will have to get the afternoon off work to come up. It's about how they get behind their team, not how many they bring. You're right mate, travelling up here ain't going to be cheap either. Too much for some people especially when its on the box!!! Hopefully we can make our numbers count and really be the 12th man.

Excluding the 18 seats in Block 19 that don't appear to be available, there are only 39 tickets left in the home areas.

I was havin' a pee in the bogs behind their end after the match (I'd had a few) and a yokel was saying how poor the away support was. So we debated the issue. I pointed out that 650 for a Saturday night game 200+ miles away at daft o'clock and right after the Cup Final might have explained it, and that I'll bet League One couldn't wait for their arrival with only 3,500 home fans packed in for their biggest game in years! He said they normally only got 2,500 so was over the moon and that they would bring loads up here. By that, I'm assuming he meant the 600. God I hope he's one of 'em and he's tearful all the way home. Does that make me bitter?

They didn't all turn up Oxford comfortably had 900 odd here. The stand was getting on for half full, and it's capacity is 1700 odd. The numbers add up. EDIT: I was wrong, 928! www.shrewsburytown.com/page/MatchReport/0,,10443~52563,00.html

There's reasonable excuses for Torquay (distance, time, it's on TV,) but it can't be denied that 600 for the second leg when you're 2-0 up is pretty poor. I'm also fully aware that attendances count for nothing before some sanctimonious poster points that out to me.

Not sure, but its the 2nd leg, and your 2-0 up and they could be there to see one of the best moments in there clubs history, infact is more likely they will progress, roles reversed would we want to miss it? I guess the better comparision is how many town too to MK dons away leg in 2007.... that was a sell out, although it was a small stand, but we would have taken more for sure.... I guesds though the distance and cost at the moment is a fair thing to bring up.... just based it on a feeling that roles reversed there is no way I would miss that game... No big fan of the willy waving about tickets, but just to clarify for MK Dons, we sold 1200 tickets very quickly with only a few of those released for general sale as I recall.

If you ignore the ones at the front of block 19 which don't seem to be for sale, and 3-4 obscured view ones in Block 16, there are 9 tickets left!! Which (if DaveyCrockett was right), means we've only sold 1 in the last hour!!

Haven't you noticed he rarely is Do we know if the attendance against Oxford was actual people through the turn styles or tickets sold - could be quite a difference as not all ST holders attended 3 empty seats by me and plenty more around the ground

yes mate Torquay tickets . I reckon you mentioning your season ticket made Barry think you were on about season ticket sales, in which case there was a misunderstanding, so you're both right (or wrong )!

I think Barry just got the wrong end of the stick Obviously him saying he renewed his season ticket confused him. Still not a bad following from Torquay.
