Looking at ticket site.
Hopefully a decent atmosphere on the back of two away wins, and cup hysteria.

Not sure that's much of a factor. Just exiles back on Teesside for Christmas of which I am one.I bet folk will be going to some of these games now to get priority points 'just in case we get to Wembley or a big away allocation in the semi final'. Which I don't mind. The more the merrier.
Can't understand that. Fairly big club and 5th in the league (albeit a LONG way behind 2nd).Not sure how many of 1800 west brom asked for have been sold, but they're still on general sale, with cash on the day.
Suspect not a huge turnout.
I do remember that actually but maybe not so close to Christmas. You need nerves of steel to leave your Christmas shopping until the 23rd.Aren't crowds on the Saturday before Christmas traditionally low?
Or is that no longer true?
It used to be said it was because a lot of fans were "Christmas shopping with their wives".

That's true, but it is very close to Xmas (and boxing day), with many of the exile crowd back already (see above).Aren't crowds on the Saturday before Christmas traditionally low?

Expect to see a roadblock on your street Saturday morningNot sure that's much of a factor. Just exiles back on Teesside for Christmas of which I am one.

Premier League football for £1!Was in the premier league we actually did kids for a quid for a game against Charlton when crowds were already dipping
I think also we used to sell a lot fewer season tickets, so there was a bigger fluctuation between attendances.I do remember that actually but maybe not so close to Christmas. You need nerves of steel to leave your Christmas shopping until the 23rd.
Also more on-line shopping nowadays?
The back up players are giving their all and deserve huge support , win or lose .A few might have to bring their boots, might get a game the rate we're going
It depends where it falls I suppose. This year being the 23rd most people have finished work and are back home for Christmas and there is no Boxing Day match.Aren't crowds on the Saturday before Christmas traditionally low?
