Being a bit obtuse there. I don't think anyone has said "they won't sell a single ticket more than for a normal league game" but selling ten times more than usual would be an impressive effort for a televised game.
As it happens I think there's a decent chance both teams sell out their allocations, but I think it'll be close. I can't see either side having the demand for hundreds or thousands of further tickets.
They only need to what? Double the amount they took to Exeter on Saturday? Fairly do-able. Not sure how many we’ll take with it being a Thursday Evening game

Clearly explained statement, then followed by replies from the “special” people on Twitter still crying!
These people on twitter are just thirsty for attention. Best ignored.

We took a shedload to Tranmere for the PO away leg on an evening. No reason we won’t do the same at Vale. Anyway, after we’ve butt-fucked them 5 zip at home, who gives a stuff.

For midweek games in the past we took 8k to Arsenal LC, 8k to Spurs FA, 8k to Wolves LC, 4k to Stoke LC, 6k to Ipswich LC, 3k to Leeds LC and 8k to Manchester United LC, 4k to Tranmere PO, 5k to Palace PO, 10k to Palace for the Gills PO all midweek ties.

A television game at 12noon on a Sunday with no trains arriving in time. If they sell out the bank then i'll gladly eat my words, but I don't see it happening.

I honestly believe some haven’t quite cottoned on to just how resurgent the club is. Still feel unsure about me booking my flights?

All of this hullabaloo about tickets is the positive side of not being able to make either semi final, reading the last few pages and seeing the dense twitterati brigade, i'm kinda glad I don't need to be involved.
