The Poolie Bunker

Say Leeds do beat Hereford in the replay (which is by no means a foregone conclusion), how many tickets would we be intitled to? We took 10,000 at least to Sunderland (many fans in the home end too) and i'm sure we were allocated 25% of their tickets.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but don't Leeds have the upper tier of their main stand closed off temporarily? Will this re-open for this game, if it happens?

People tend to love the romance of the cup and it wouldn't surprise me if we took a lot more down to Elland Road than we did for the league game.

I don't think they'll televise this one as Leeds will be at home and most people who want to watch pools will be there.

Hereford could still win this game though so pointless making plans until then.

I've just realised that this whole post is irrelevant due to that last sentence. I'll get me coat

No chance of that upper tier being opened, I don't think. I doubt the turnout'll be any higher than before - it's not as easy to get there, it costs an absolute ton and many might be put off by the last result (even though we played them off the pitch).

I think about 2,500 tops'll make the trip, if it's on a Saturday.

Apparently the rules state they must offer us 25%

i am desperate to go but dont have a season ticket you think ill be oright?

I'll be surprised if we take more than 1,500 MAX.

Just before Christmas, been there once already this season, people like Snowy whinging that it's a crap draw.

I'll be there like.

Traditionally, we always take a good crowd for the cup games. If we make the 2nd round, it's always played at the same time so can't use Christmas as an excuse. Bear in mind a lot of people go away for Christmas and can't make the boxing day game, so they might be swayed to go there.
I know loads of people who couldn't make the league match due to being on holiday and stuff.
I reckon we would take well over 1500, unless Hereford win the replay. It's all speculation at this point.

I see no reason why the crowd should be less that last time. Admittedly we've got Brian's birthday coming up but the FA Cup factor should counter that.

I was told just over 800 at GT yesterday Mr ECG so it was a decent turnout.

well if it's Leeds or Hereford I'll be there,but Leeds last time I couldn't get a ticket and there were 6 of us going that day,reckon we'd all go if we could easily get tickets this time like.
I'd guess we'd have way more than 3,000 with a 3 o clock saturday kick off,easy enough to get back to pools in time for a night out, might even get back to devon for last orders

Do you still have last orders in Devon?? How quaint!!

The rest of Britain is on compulsory 24 hour, seven day binge drinking bonanza's according to the Daily Mail.

it's a physical impossibility to sup rough cider past midnight,Pk.
there's you're answer to stop binge drinking,never mind increasing the price,just double the strength

Eww rough cider.

Every year at Glastonbury the beer company buy the entire stock of Burrowhill cider in five gallon free flow casks. It's bright orange and rots the laces in your boots if you spill it on them. God only knows what it does to your insides.
