There will not be 13k empty available seats
The capacity is only 31k now and we have sold 18,500 - according to my maths thats 12,500 without any walk ups or any away fans!
And we could shift another 500 STs in the next 3.5 weeks.
Our average last season was 22k - we have sold 3,000 extra season tickets so far - 22k + 3k = 25k average - this is based on finishing 7th, we are expected to finish 5th this season (according to Bookies/Betfair) i.e. have a slightly better season than last season. We may also get more away fans because of the type of new clubs coming - Sunderland, Burnley, Rotherham - all Northern. We have lost some relatively poorly supported away sides Fulham, Bournemouth, Peterboro.
