942 from Millwall

I don't see how making the game all ticket will adversely affect the crowd to be honest. I suppose in terms of putting off potential troublemakers it might stop a bit of that but all in all I don't think it will make a lot of difference.

I just meant that we'll lose out on the floating fans who would maybe decide on the day to come along, or who don't get round to getting hold of a ticket for whatever reason.

From memory, the last chance floaters had to climb on the Alty bandwagon was v Eastbourne at the Britannia a few years back. I think the crowd was 2,800 (ish) that day with people saying Alty had 1800-2000.

If Millwall bring 1000, still cant see us getting anything much more than 3000.

As important as that occasion was, it did not have the same prestige value that comes with a big FA Cup tie. Also, people are lazy and even though Stoke was only a short distance away some people would only go to a big game if it was played at home. I think we'll have between 2500 and 3000 "home fans" for this one.

[Jacko]

agreed, dont actually think they'll bring that many

Im gona say 3,805 I belive Mill wall will bring 800 or so the rest being Alty Fans. Do you believe that guy Frank Sidebottom will turn up, as he only goes to "Our big games" then claiming he's a true alty fan!!! if he does go we should send him in the away stand

He shouldn't be allowed into the ground, he's an absolute embarrassment.

 Also a lot of fans may have made the decision to come on the Friday night beforehand and now they can't do that.

Am I missing something here?

Personally I think 2,922 with 860 millwall. Its 12 years since we did any giant killing, might effect things with our league position!

I meant the pub conversation as they say "fancy going down Alty tomorrow Frank, they have got Millwall at home, its in the evening news."  "I think its all ticket John...and they won't be selling them in the morning I bet"

[penfold]

If that guy turned up i hope someone fill's his papermache head in, he aint a fann he's a Kit Kat Man who gives out diseased Kit Kats!!!!! An isnt he banned from going to Moss Lane anyway? Well if he's not i hope someone does ban him

Ahh, ok im with you now. This is true, maybe we could go round the pubs on friday night selling tickets! Frank and John would be delighted. Maybe the cockel man could do a sideline for us, he could mix it up with fa cup jellied eels to comemorate the tie!

On a serious note have we thought of offering local pubs a pair of tickets for next weeks quiz nights etc, promote the tie and all that?

[altrincham]

We need some good media coverage over the next week, maybe we will get another slot on Granada to advertise the ticket details and good coverage in the MEN would be most effective.

The support we got from a couple of the Australian cricket team would be an interesting angle.

Not wanting to stick up for the paper mache guy but if he brings some extra media coverage and and extra 100 people through the turnstiles for the game has it not been worth while putting up with him. Once he has done his bit then throw him to the lions !!

I consider it highly unlikely that his presence (or lack of) would have any bearing whatsoever on the attendance.
