Latest table, only missing figure for this week is Wigan at Donny. Looked on both their websites and twitter feeds and couldn't see anything.

At least we've wrapped 1 league title up

 

[Crewelad87]

expecting a very low number of Colchester fans at our place tommorow. wouldn't suprise me to see our 1st sub 3k gate in a long long time for a league game.

7000 Wigan fans at Donny in a total gate of 6500......

 

[Westbars_Spireite]

How many Donny should we expect tomorrow? A few more than if they'd lost on Saturday presumably. 650?

Talk on our forum of 1500, your figure will be much nearer the mark. I'll go for 750.

1500 seems extremely optimistic given the reality of your situation (not downplaying ours).

Did you even bring that many last season, on a Saturday, for your first ever visit?

750 wouldn't be bad at all.

 

[Bartonyellow]

How many Wigan can we expect tomorrow ? (Not that we will publish the figure you understand )

379 Doncaster at Colchester

You can barely muster that to Sheffield.

Sold out surely? That was the claim on here wasn't it?

Yes they have only 1700 though which is 300 less than we had

Sold out, I think the figure is 1715 in total. Jamo regarding the Doncaster number, the club said we had sold "over 1700 in advance" but POTD was available (which I did). If I had to guess I'd say we had around 1800 but I could be wrong. I'd just put down 1700 for now as those were confirmed sales.

While I'm here, do Barnsley fans any idea what kind of away following we'll be looking at on the last day? I'm guessing a lot comes down to whether you need a result to get in the playoffs. If we lose against Burton tonight, that game suddenly becomes a lot bigger than it should have been.

Chesterfield is much nicer though
Tbh we would struggle to raise 1500 if we were going for the play offs

I think 750 would be a bit shit given its round the corner and Donny have just beaten top of the league, meaning this game is massive rather than irrelevant.

Agreed, but I reckon we are as good as down & the absolute shite served up recently away from home I can't blame anyone for not rushing home from work to go.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Struggle to hit 200 tonight I reckon.

 

[blademan89]

We will be struggling to hit 500 tonight too.

Looking at that table, Southend's is very admirable. Better than Gills and not far off Walsall (who are both having their best seasons in years.).

It's probably an hour's drive at half five/six. Should be be more yes but Donny aren't particularly well supported in relation to their home gates and if I was was in their shoes I'd still be fully expecting relegation.

103 Colchester at Crewe.

193 at Southend

905 Doncaster at Chesterfield.

[F!RTHY]

1400 disappointed bantams made the 260 mile round journey!

 

[blademan89]

If barnsley can't muster 4k on Saturday then it's gonna be a piss poor effort. Huge game now for them and bigger than it looked 3 weeks ago for us. Too little too late though for us imo.

 

[Jamo]

I'd hope we'd manage that but we have to sell the initial 3,024 allocation (upper tier) before we get additional tickets, and they only went on sale last week. We'd sold 2,250 before tonight and I imagine quite a few will have been waiting on our result vs Posh before deciding whether to go. If we can sell the remaining upper tier tickets tomorrow then I'd expect us to take 3,500 if not more.

While I'm here, do Barnsley fans any idea what kind of away following we'll be looking at on the last day? I'm guessing a lot comes down to whether you need a result to get in the playoffs.

Correct. If we've a decent chance of finishing in the play offs then I think we'd sell whatever you gave us. If we're out of the race then I wouldn't expect more than 1,500, last game of the season but we've already been there in the JPT.

226 Posh tonight, looked a lot less than that but they were spread out tbf.
