    800 is wildly optimistic.

    Month before Christmas, big numbers for an away day less than 4 days before (Mansfield), bad weather.. I reckon we're looking at around the 400 - 450 mark, tops.

    I might get a tad wet then lol. Although having had a quick look at the forecast for Saturday, there is no rain?

    When you say not the easiest to get to, are you referring to public transport? I am driving down, so traffic permitting I am hopeful of a relatively straightforward trek, but this is London we are talking about :joy:

    Looks like your ‘pessimism’ has been well overtaken already, with 700 plus.

    True, though there are a lot who buy the tickets just for the loyalty points (something I personally think is ridiculous).

    I could see buying cheap cup games for ‘loyalty points’, but Sutton is £25 a head.

    Seems a lot to pay, unless you use them.

    Do people meet at the pub and say, I have 1300 loyalty points but have never been to a game. Seems utterly bizarre.

    Hell you could spend a £1 for a collectable football card! ;)

    You really have no idea how many City fans live and work in the London area. It would actually surprise many Bradford based fans. I’ve been to several Orient / City night games and there was easily 700 City fans, and one coach from Shipley. We went by tube.

    Yeah to be fair you have a point I didn’t consider that.

    I recall Charlton away on a Tuesday night and Southend away both had substantial London / southern based City fans in attendance.

    Great effort from the fans with Christmas coming up, mortgages going up and energy bills going up.

    We seem better on the road, bizarrely, don’t we, so confident of a win on Sat on the back of a terrific performance at Mansfield.

    Fantastic numbers. Although I am very surprised we have sold a few hundred more for the Orient game, with it being an early KO and 3 weeks before Xmas, as well as possible train strikes

    Please don't, that is the one thing I am dreading. Not because i'll be stuck in traffic, but because I fear I will most certainly get so angry that I will take the law into my own hands

    Unwashed horrible specimens, really boil my p1ss :mad:
