About 20 tickets short of 8,000 sold at the moment to home fans.
Yesterday's sales were over 550, which is the highest Friday sales of the season, so with Executive Box sales and on the day sales I think we might reach 8,500 home fans, which to me is excellent for such a game, and a few hundred more than I estimated earlier in the week. I hope the weather is better in Oxford than it is here in Nottingham though, as it's pouring with rain here at the moment!
Great effort to get so many in...problem is we always seem to play crap when there's a ticket promotion.
Let's say 1-0 to us, Henry to Taylor for the winner.
Morecambe have the (joint) worst defensive record in the league, and have shipped 10 goals while losing their last three on their travels (albeit they did score 6 themselves).
It's the sort of game that teams gunning for promotion really ought to be winning.......and I think we will......
