Gate for FA Cup Vs Oldham

[SUFCFANS]

Great to see the numbers increasing on the gate Saturday. How many do we think will come Saturday? Just a tenner (or fiver for seasos), looked to be a big line forming for tickets after the game Sat.. I'm going for 7-8k. The magic of the third round is looming!!

This is a game that we should be able to win - how have Oldham been playing of late?

 

[tottenham541]

even at a £10 for the normal fan i cant see any more than 6,500 at tops.

 

[Smiffy]

Anything less than 7,000 would be very disappointing IMO.

You cant argue at £10 for a 2nd round game.

Oldham have won 3, drawn 3 and lost 2 of their last 8. Scoring 15 and conceeding 12.

They have won 0, drawn 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 on the road. Scoring 6 and conceeding 9.

Unbeaten in four, but that does include an FA cup and JPT win against league 2 teams.

 

[RobM]

Doesn't look like a goal-fest in prospect then!

 

[Leoblue]

I'm going for 6 half k...

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Great chance to progress. Players should be refreshed after a week off. Oldham dont travel well either, be great to get to the 3rd round, financially for the club would maybe mean some more funds for Luggy in January.

Nicw break from the league games.. Bit less 'stress' .. great price .. only one more leaguw home game this year.. could be 7

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Should get about 6,000 crowd. Even though its only £5/£3/£1 for season ticket holders you will still get some that won't go.

Just noticed both Sheffield clubs are at home on Saturday in the FA Cup with 3pm kick offs, bet that has not happened many times in the past.

 

[Silencer]

Hopefully as it's just a tenner/fiver etc, we hit around the 7k mark.

Just worry that as it's 'only' the FA Cup, some people tend to stay away. I love all cup games, but this feeling isn't felt by fans around the country - hence smaller attendances for standard cup games.

Fingers crossed we have a decent crowd to cheer us through to a bumper third round match - Arsenal at home of Liverpool away please!!!

Oldham were bloody rubbish on Saturday. I'm doing a write-up on them this afternoon, will post when finished.

 

[canveyshrimper]

I will be surprised if we have a crowd in excess of 7k, being realistic I think it will be in the region of 5500/6000.

That doesn't say much for 'AFC ex-Blues' then. :smile:

They were even worse.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

I just bought 10 so that'll help

5892 is my guess, our great run ends with a 2-0 reverse :sad:

 

[Bolton Shrimper]

5500 ish. Can't see Oldham bringing more than a couple of hundred tops and bet they don't fancy it at all.

 

[borientater]

6132 , for no other reason than it used to be my phone number :smile: 2 nil win dicko and harris :happy:

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

What are the club doing to promote the fact it's only a tenner in? Hopefully seven thousand plus but those saying mid 5's to low 6's are probably closer.
