388 left. Mostly single seats.

BUT Forest play Villa on Sky on Saturday so Thursday/Saturday wont work. So Forest have to play Tuesday or Wednesday.
Another point is Notts County have a home game on the Wednesday so in reality we will play on the Saturday 12:30 or 5:30 slot.

County and Forest have both played at home on the same day before, with one match kicking off an hour after the other although this was a Saturday afternoon. I don't think the police would object because it makes for efficient deployment of PCs.

 

[Nottseagull]

Us playing on Saturday and Villa playing on Sunday would be the ideal, having the extra day's recovery before the league game.

I don't get why are our tie and Villa's weren't scheduled for the same day, because then the league fixture could have remained intact.

Purely down to BBC and ITV pick order and what games they wanted and when in their schedules they wanted to show them

Think Fulham were also scheduled to play on the Tuesday so something had to give. Not a great hardship!

321 left with 32 of those being pie and pint lounge access at £120 and 9 being wheelchair spaces so 280 standard seats.

Definitely gonna be a sell out

It already is really, and it was never in doubt. The only seats left are singles, and as such will be harder to sell.

 

[Gazwag]

Should be a big crowd as tickets had to be bought so no points harvesters empty seats. Just need to get that Sheff Wed atmosphere going.

North stand sold out and pretty much singles everywhere else now - less than 2 weeks get in quick you want to go

In response to this the club have made available more seats in the North by allowing people to buy in the disabled areas right at the front including quite a few pairs and even some triples.
Currently 183 left.

 

[Muzzman]

Really looking forward to this. Going into WSU on the centreline for this one. Last time I was there we beat Citeh 3-2.

 

[brighton_tom]

About 80 seats just made available in E1G. Maybe they reduced the segregation between home/away fans.

No doubt about it! It's the only block with any real availability and look where they are.

Be full of f***ing shirt beggers

The remaining number seats keeps adjusting as they add ones which I guess are usually held back for club guests, and they have have reduced the home/away segregation, but now 162 left. Going to be a very busy Amex.

This sprang into my mind too - that is still the best 30 minutes at the Amex for me, Chelsea and Marseille got close, but that was the one. It was feral until their fluked equaliser.
If we can recreate close to that then we will have done our bit.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Bus replacement south of Three Bridges is a real pain on a Saturday night but wouldn’t miss this one for anything. Is it going to be the highest ever ‘real’ attendance at the Amex?

Sorry to go all Chaileybot, but I'd say there have been several games where the ground has been absolutely packed.
