Think we may have set ourselves up for a fall here by talking up the possibility of a sell out. Our attendances have been very good this season - second highest in League 2 and only better by 6 teams from the league above. If promotion was likely tomorrow, I'm sure we would sell out - even at £25/ticket for non-season ticket holders. But given that we only have an outside chance of this happening, and are having to rely on other teams to stumble, I think we'll get a 10,000+ crowd but not the 14,500 Paolo was talking about.
This needed a Stratton Bank promotion to work...but never mind. We'll get the sell out when the trophy is presented.
Thinking back to 06/07 we had a similar game against Mansfield at this stage where a win and other results going our way would see us up. We opened the Bank that day and the weather was brilliant. We won but didn't go up. The crowd was only around 10,000. We then got the full house on the last day against Walsall. Probably sensible to suggest the same again. Times have changed a bit since then though. Crowds in general are higher at the CG than they were 4 or 5 years back.
