Notts County v Swindon Town Matchday Thread

[Ƭ̵̬̊: The Artist Formerly Known as CWIG]

Realistically wouldn't be surprised if the unbeaten run ends here but the amount of goal threat we have at the moment gives us a chance in any game.

Exactly where I'm at with it. Can see us taking our first loss here but anything could happen.

Just went to book a ticket and it's showing as sold out. Tickets were meant to be on sale until 4pm so not sure what's happened there. Anyone know if we can pay on the night?

Edit: Best info I can find is from the Notts County website, but it links to 2021-22 info:

For matches that have not been declared ‘advanced ticket only’, tickets
can be purchased on the day of the game from the away supporter's
ticket booth located at the back of the Jimmy Sirrel Stand (cash only),
or from the main ticket office (if paying by card).

The main ticket office is open from 9am every matchday, so please
ensure that you purchase your ticket well in advance off kick off to
avoid queues and potentially missing the first part of the game.
Please be aware that advanced ticket prices increase by £2 on a
matchday.

Thanks. That page also says they're on sale until 4pm today, so that's frustrating.

I assume the allocation they were sent had all gone prior to 4pm.  The club just Tweeted we sold out the allocation but tickets are on sale from their ticket office (at an increased price)

I checked earlier today on the website and noticed they were sold out also - on the small chance that I might go tomorrow. At least I know I can buy on the evening now.

Any idea what our allocation was? I would expect probably about 500?

Initial allocation was 350, which we sold out a couple of weeks ago and then got more tickets.
Not sure what that number was though.

STFC tickets last week stated we had sold the initial allocation of 350 and requested a further allocation - the numbers of the second allocation were not stated but I'm assuming another 350 possibly? (my educated guess is they send batches of 350)

I'd adjust your attendance guess north by 200 if I was you

[Audrey]

Last week 540 had been sold out of 700. Presume the 700 have gone. Their capacity for away fans us way above 700 do no idea why it was so restricted.

Done

One of my rare excursions to the Town End was against Notts County back in 1992. Horlock scored an absolute beezer into the top corner and I was sitting directly behind it. Had the goal frame not been there it would have whistled past my head.
