It's still likely to be more than 2k more home fans than we've had at any other home game so far this season. This is an increase of 30%+ which is massive and will be repeated on Boxing Day. We then go into the new year with a very winnable game in the FA cup with the chance of another huge game to come. With league games against Sunderland, Ipswich, Portsmouth, Bristol Rovers and Bolton still to come, we are in a great place to have a number of 9k plus games. This is a fantastic effort from a club looking to re-engage with the local community.

they won’t last Long then

I make it that we're at about 10,085 at the moment, but I'll take off 150, for the restricted view seats that are not actually sold, just to be cautious, so I'd say we're nearly there. I predict an announced attendance of just over 10,000.

It might surprise a few if we do. I know a couple who were expecting to turn up for their one traditional game of the year, but hadn't booked tickets. They didn't think we'd be anywhere near to capacity and quickly booked today to be sure.

Can see us hitting 11,000+ which will be amazing on the back of the last 2 games.

Could definitely get close to a home sell out

What actually is our home allocation? 9,800?

Cheers Curragh, you've saved me a job there as I was about to do a further count up.

To add a bit of perspective to the figures that gives us a home total of 8,435 with three days to go before the game, which is about 1,100 ahead of the home sales for three days before the Wycombe game. It also means about 400 sold since Friday night, when I last counted. So all good, and well on target to hit the 10,000 mark you would think.

But, a note of caution, I was told Wednesday that sales at Lincoln at that point were only 400. They took 1,100 to Coventry (Birmingham actually) yesterday, so I'm wondering whether they will bring the same amount to us on Boxing Day? They have travelled very well earlier in the season, but have tailed off a bit as their results tailed off. I think we may need 9,000+ home fans to break the 10,000 barrier, so it could be a close call.

Not easy this dot counting/crowd prediction lark you know, it's getting more and more scientific as each game goes by!
 
Half of block 26 has been opened up to home fans which may see more take up tickets now better seats are available.
 
Yep 375 seats have been opened up in Block 26 which certainly makes sense if Lincoln are struggling to sell their 800 allocation as virtually no other seats left together in the North Stand now apart from in the end family block.

Wont Lincoln have a 1200 allocation like Nan City?
 
Another 114 tickets sold between 10.30am and 3.30pm so solid but not spectacular sales.

With the 375 seats added in Block 26 (of which only 24 have been sold so far) there are still 1661 seats left in Oxford areas.

As for the Lincoln allocation, their website says that they only received an initial allocation of 800 and according to Colin, they only had about 400 sold on Wednesday. There is pay on the day for their fans and I imagine they could get up to the normal 1200 tickets although it doesn't look like they will be needing them.

Based on Colin's mathematical algorithms (!!) we are currently at approx. 8640 home sales and 9000+ including Lincoln. We might struggle to get to the 10,000 mark unless Lincoln have had a surge in sales in recent days.
