Contrary to popular belief, I'm not old enough !

I did though at one time posess the 4 page match programme which was issued for the game.

Sells for MEGA money now to Leeds United collectors does that one.

Without a doubt.

They brought quite a few with them when we played them pre season.

Good draw sure they will sell their allocation. Fleetwood/Hartlepool should have the potential to have a good crowd with the local police on standby. :lol:

It would be better if it is our first home game of the season. Guess we will find out tomorrow.

Not sure I agree, home on the Saturday will be a good crowd simply because it is the first game of the season and people have missed their football. The Sheffield United game will be almost a sell out anyway, so fingers crossed...

How many live TV games are there? If there are seven live games we might be in with a shout :roll: In order of interestingness/likelihood I would say...

Wycombe Wanderers v Fulham
Portsmouth v Derby County
Luton Town v Bristol City
Port Vale v Burnley
Accrington Stanley v Hull City
Northampton Town v Blackpool
Morecambe v Sheffield United
Yeovil Town v Queens Park Rangers
Bristol Rovers v Birmingham City

In the words of Paddy Ashdown, I will eat my hat (if its a sell-out)!

Didn't we only get about 2600 against Wolves? Any improvement on this would be decent. Its the 1st Round and Shef Utd will probably put out a weakened side, so I imagine they will only bring 800-1000.

Maybe do a special offer with two tickets for £20 for the first home game and get a few more in?

Okay, yes, I'm full of optimism at this time of year! 8-) :D Sheffield United will bring a fair few for the novelty factor, new ground etc. I think we will sell reasonably well. Slightly over 3,000.

Keith's list of games does not take account of the broadcasters obsession with Leeds United!
