3,600 in home ends. 1,500 Orient.

Hardly getting close to a sellout then...Id like to see a few thousand more than the 5000 odd that was at their ground, which by all accounts was their biggest of the season for them, plus I fear we will need that "12th" man from the terraces.

Nowhere near a sell-out. It wont be. The crap KO time and TV coverage will make sure of that.

Think we will need 12 men on the pitch as well. If we have 12 that is!
 
Other than the fact Sky are showing the game, anyone know the reason for the earlier KO time? I cant recall the last time an evening game started at 7.15pm

When JP bought the rights to the cup they wanted most kick offs at that time with cheaper prices to get kids to come along. It's also half term that week so may be to do with that?
 
Does this mean that if we get to Wembley we will only take 5000 to the final .Some how I feel we will find another 10.000 plus . bl** .dy glory hunters

A number of clubs played early rounds with a "family friendly" kick off time of 7 pm. This was nothing to do with Sky and those matches were not televised.

I also think it's more to do with Sky's scheduling requirements than half-term.
 
Plenty of time for tickets to be snapped up. The echo will do a couple of pieces about cheering the lads to Wembley etc etc will be a good crowd in

Here we go with the glory hunter ******** again. Bollocks to you and every other so-called super supporter who takes a dig at those who can't make every game home and away, friendlies and training sessions. Try getting a life away from football you sad sack ****. Life doesn't come to a screaming halt outside the Roots Hall gates and those of us who have supported the club for 35+ years might just have other things to do nowadays than just spending our every wakeing hour joined at a football teams hip.
 
Damn you Dave the Shrimper and your Facebook posts :hilarious:

In fairness if you look at the seats worth having it probably is close to a sell out. No one wants to sit in the south lower for example, the entire North West corner will I imagine be left empty etc.....Probably not vast amounts of seats left in reality.
