It's a classical tale of the chicken and the egg. A win and a good performance against a good team should improve the level of confidence within the squad in readiness for the next games. But lacking confidence as we've demonstrated so clearly in recent games isn't a great platform for today's game. Building that confidence and avoiding it waning away towards the end of the game can be helped by a big crowd getting behind the team. But having the right level of confidence going into the game is about the squad being properly prepared beforehand .. and the responsibility for that rests with Hughes. -

Don't honestly think it makes a huge difference playing home leg first or second. We're there that's all that counts

A match if this importance to the season and all we are concerned is the attendance. This is a match we can not lose because we must assume Mansfield will win. Lose it and in my opinion the season has been one big failure.
Whilst it is a must not lose it’s also must not sit back and hope match or a ping pong around in our own area match. Go for it in a disciplined way with a high press and let’s get the goals we need to take the pressure of and try and get a home tie last in the+play offsStop hovering to collapse...

However, there is clearly some 'disagreement' at to what the capacity actually is, as there is a clear variation between the safety certificate figures, as posted by @Storck, and the figures posted by the Club on the official website.
Below, are the figures, as stated by the Club on the official website. I've added the comparative safety certificate figures* in brackets:
Morrisons Family Stand (Main Stand) 9,004 (*9,135)
Bradford Lifts Stand (Midland Road) 4,500 (*4,435)
The Kop 7,392 (*7,486)
TL Dallas Stand (Bradford End) 1,644 (*1,610)
North West Corner 2,300 (*2,223)
Total Capacity 24,840 (*24,889)
The highest attendance, in the stadium's current format, was the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation match against Liverpool in 2019, which produced an official attendance of 24,343. I'd say, realistically, that's probably the limit. Then deduct any closed off areas for segregation purposes (e.g. Midland Road seats between home and away fans).
On that basis, if we've lost a few hundred seats in Midland Road, plus a few hundred at the front of the kop, we are probably looking at a sell out capacity somewhere in the region of 23,500 for the Leyton Orient match.Stop hovering to collapse...

I’m probably being completely miserable, but tomorrow feels like a massive anti climax for what should have been achieved this season given the squad that we’ve had and the apparent money being spent?
I’d take a boring 0-0 now, as I think we’ll end up playing Northampton who I’d much rather play that Carlisle or Salford (especially with McAleny).
Let’s hope it isn’t like the Crewe game a decade or so ago when Donaldson and Powell (I think?) ripped us apart!Bronco, Onside, Stoneski and 1 other person like this.
