It's possible.Derby have sold out.
5th v 4th having just won in the last minute.
The North Stand looks just about sold out except for the family stand.
Hopefully we can get to 11k- the highest crowd of the season to date.
Slightly off topic but our current average home attendance for league games this season stands at 8973. Friday's night game will take us over an average of 9k which we haven't achieved since 1988.
On the subject of attendance, I saw an exchange on twitter where a fan of around 3 years was coating off some 'daytrippers' at the Boxing Day because they didn't know all the players names or all of the chants. He then said that he'd rather see empty seats than have these people return.
One thing people should remember is we were all newbies at some point and we wouldn’t have appreciated having that said to us. I first started going in 1983 and probably would’ve been one of many at the start of the glory years.Yes I did see that exchange and that poster is on this forum too.
I share a completely opposite view to them, I was born in Oxford in 1988 so missed out on our glory days, my parents weren't football fans and I didn't attend my first Oxford game until the age of 8 which was a school trip. I only started regularly going in 2002 when me and a few others from school use to catch the football special bus from Abingdon. I didn't know any of our players or anything about our history but over the years I have learnt this.
I'm now a season ticket holder along with my son and I will be bringing my youngest son who is currently 19 months old along in a couple of seasons to be the next generation.
We all have to start somewhere and shouldn't discriminate against any newbies attending.

I know not but they were fantastic days and I had my first season ticket in 84-85 and have done ever since. So many great memories and some painful ones also.I was also a newbie in '83 having started watching the Milk Cup run from the Newcastle game.
I'm not sure if we jumped on the glory wagon or inspired it!
