Matches Crystal Palace - First 10k gate of the season

[Colin B]

Over 300 sales between 16:30 and midnight yesterday, so still plenty of interest, and that's after Tuesday evening's poor result.

It's apparent from many of the comments above that Saturday's game will have quite a large effect on whether some season ticket holders attend or not, so that's another factor that makes this one hard to forecast. I'll monitor today and tomorrow's sales and then look to make a forecast after Saturday's game. Maybe not a sell out, but still hopeful of 10,000 is my current guesstimate.

Another good day of sales at just over 400 in the last 24 hours.

Still too early to forecast the final attendance accurately though, I'll leave that until after tomorrow's game.

You could always ask Ryan to sneak a couple extra Toffee Crisp from out the Pantry and then pop and have a chat with Manorlounger over a biscuit, he may even share his £12 pie with you.

I’m stopping in at my folks’ place on my way to the ground tomorrow.

I’ll post a picture once I’ve nicked it.

That's made me think of toffee crisps for the first time in ten years. Perfect half time snack!

Drifter for me. And a pack of Rib N Saucy Niknaks. That was the usual selection when allowed 1 x chocolate confectionary and 1 x crisps from the vending machine at Didcot Wave in the school holidays (a real treat, growing up in a household where a Tunnocks teacake was as exciting as it got confectionary-wise).

A Mars bar, albeit not on the Toffee Crisp league, at the London Stadium is £2.60.

Texan bars with the white nugget in the middle. Probably contributed to the state of my teeth nowadays

All of this chocolate is ok, but it's not a patch on taking all of your pocket money to the local post office and buying a quarter of cola cubes. Had to eat them quickly however, or they would clump together and stick to the paper bag.

Sherbet strawberry’s or lemons.

It's the only light relief on here at the moment! Can you pop on the transfer page and talk about Wham bars and Top Deck to make it a little more bearable?
