    What a great initiative by the club, paid off handsomely, even if it’s only extra merchandise, the tills will be ringing for sure.

    If the team “turns up” and the boo boys stfu, I say that in a nice way, what an atmosphere !

    After ruining my eyes , looking at the official club website for Capacity confirmation, and doing all the relevant mathematics, taking into account segregation etc, by my workings out we have sold 20047 home tickets so far.
    Capacity ATM is 24840
    TL Dallas is 1644 so take that off
    1300 last 2 blocks in Midland Road, plus the 300 seats segregation.
    Take 300 off for block A in The West Stand.
    Leaves us with 21296 home seats.
    We have 1249 seats left on sale.
    20047 plus whatever Colchester brings.
    Great turnout
    I had time to spare

    The front 3 or 4 rows of the Kop lower tier didn't go on sale as they are blocked off so there will at least 450 to take off the available capacity

    I thought it was largely terrible. Lots of day trippers and not many songs took hold, just lots of flag waving and random cheering.

    Maybe @Bradford End@Bradford End can tell us what figure is we've sold so far, he's usually the man for tickets sales ETC.

    You can’t tell me this wasn’t a great atmosphere even regarding the score and day trippers

    Still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

    40 years at the lower reaches of the FL says that was phenomenal for me.

    Ticket Availability:

    Main Stand - 96 seats
    Kop - 198 seats
    Midland Road - 117 seats
    NWC - 618 seats

    Total - 1,029 seats available

    I’ll have to check this again tomorrow, but I understand we surpassed 20,000 ticket sales at around 9pm this evening.

    I’m hearing Colchester have sold around 250 tickets.

    Fantastic effort by all.

    The only benefit I see from a scrappy 1-0 win is 3 points. That’s great but if we play like against Barrow, surely it will affect the players? What we need is a fluent comfortable 1-0, a rebound in off Cook’s arse!

    Wow……Just wow. If we can turn our home form around consistently, just imagine?

    That's incredible considering one of the lowest expected away followings of the season

    How can anyone decry the cheap ticket initiative is beyond my comprehension.

    The same ones that paid half a crown for their season ticket and boo at home games perhaps?
