Does that matter? If a ticket has been sold it’s been sold.
It matters if you are calling it an ATTENDance figure (a factual documentation of the number of people in attendance). It would also be nice to know how many people are actually interested enough to turn up and watch the team play on a particular day.
Just a personal gripe of mine, I admit!
(I love stats so would even be keen to know the number of fans with tickets that didn't make it along!)

Hope make a better fist if this than we did their empty echo chamber. I doubt we’ll go 0-3 down but I think another draw is more likely or a narrow win as an outside bet.
We'll have a better side this time for definite

I was thinking that it was going to be very similar, if not slightly weaker, but forgot that Kemp (couldn't) & Young (didn't) start the game last time.

One thing is for sure though, we will definitely have more options from the bench this time, and the CB pairing will be much better

England Ladies internationals are a favourite of mine..

Described as a 'sell out' but obviously include tickets given away to schools etc etc...

Spot on. The bench VS Franchise was Ward, Genesini, Young, Obodo, Hart, Minturn, Alston…

I hope Kemp plays - according to Bradford fans he ambled about looking utterly disinterested.

I hope Kemp doesn't play. Because he's still the best player in the league.

Easy 3-1 for them. Kemp will no show but it won’t matter. Devoy with a late consolation.

Devoy won't be allowed to play so if he does score a late consolation it'll be a bigger problem Cheesy

I no longer trust my premonitions.

I’ll go with, I dunno, McKirdy then. A late McKirdy consolation. Why not? 😁

A player is only as good as his teammates, at Swindon all our play was dictated to by him so looked good, at MK he also has Gilbey, Robson, Bate and Payne in midfield who all try to dictate the run of play.

They have played Kemp wide left, wide right, attacking midfield and as an out and out striker so far with very little success, they are trying to squeeze in a very square peg into a very round hole and so far have yet to find a role that he is suited to playing.

Hes an obvious talent but if his mind is not in the game as we know he does go awol in games, he has to be the hub of the play, at MK he is not that.

If he does play today then hopefully his head is not in the game against the team he really enjoyed playing for rather than the one he currently plays for and against teammates who he considers to be mates.

On Tuesdays showing I would play.

Reading thier forum they seem to be less than impressed with all their keeper options currently, if we hit the target as many times as we did vs Gills, Salford and Newport there is a great chance we will score a few goals, a big ask though.

McKirdy and RHM coming off the bench to create havoc against a slow ponderous defensive trio.
