    Our capacity is now quoted as 26,875 now, so makes sense 25,722 with segregation

    I’m not sure I’d take transfer market as the reliable source on the capacity… the capacity is 27,111… we’ve had attendances of that number to prove it and as far as I’m aware haven’t removed any seats since! 
    It's not 27,111 either as we removed at least 6 seats for the safe standing

    @paulsturgess I thought the safestanding section made a difference?

    Not been into the bit. I thought the seats were retained and just barriers installed for those to stand rather than sit. 

    Googled - The club website mentioned “6 season ticket holders will have to be moved” when they announced this which suggests a handful of seats might have been lost to be fair - but as it is only 1000 spaces and in a primarily season ticket spot, I would be very surprised if 250 had been removed.

    Its all supposition.  Not even the legend that is @Airman Brown knows what the capacity is post-safe standing.  We have to assume the quoted attendance on Thursday night is therefore correct.

    The quoted attendance would be correct as monies in play off matches are pooled and distributed between all four clubs involved so it can’t be manipulated in any way.

    Built capacity is actually the least reliable number. As it is the safety advisory board that say exactly how many tickets can be sold & that can be influenced by all manner of things. I very much doubt that every single seat can be sold. But Airman will know better than me.

    It will be pretty accurate. There will still be some unused comps and tickets bought but not used, but they won’t be anything like the figure for a normal league game with ST holders.

    If we had circa 1k in the JS Stand (I estimated it as slightly more), and Wycombe had 1,600 then there were circa 800 empty seats.

    That would imply the capacity is 26,500, but in reality there are seats in the press gantry and probably others that are never sold. They used to get included in attendances at one stage - the club counted down from capacity - but I suspect different people will use different methodology.

    I thought stadium capacity was reduced for night games, as well?

    I have no idea why...

    Seeing 6ft3 Jones steam in at pace, with a loud Valley urging him on definitely contributed to a moment of brain freeze. 
    Godden’s first touch deserves a mention too. It was not totally straightforward - the ball pops up very close to him and awkwardly around his shoulder. With the pressure of the moment and the intensity of the crowd it would have been so easy to rush the touch and have it spin away from him or delay things long enough for a defender to poke it away. Instead it was immaculate and ice cold which meant the finish was simple as they come.

    Im not sure their keeper bottled it. I think he wrongly judged Jones would get his contact earlier and got into his shape but the ball ran on a bit quickly and Jones had to stretch for it and when he did get the contact it was too close for the keeper to react.

    Godden showed very quick feet.

    Listen to Godden’s interview - he describes it in minute detail. A bit of an insight into the striker’s mind - it’s like the whole thing was in slow motion for him. Talk about cool.

    Hugely so! It took about 5 replays in slow motion to see how he controlled the ball before finishing into the back of the net.

    Something he managed so neatly in real-time.

    I didn't record the full match on Sky. I can find their 30 minute highlights programme. Anyone know how to get the full show? I'm guessing the moment has gone now, but worth seeing if anyone knows otherwise!

    It’s certainly up the full match as of yesterday evening

    There were certainly seats removed at the back of the Cupboard End ... because my brother's seat was one of them!

    There used to be seats all the way along the back row but now we have the safe standing they've taken out the seats at the top of the stairways.

    Hopefully the seating plan on the ticketing website will be updated for next season ...

    Very late but no vlog. Long story short, editing is a ball ache, and someone who was part of the vlog asked to be edited out, so I scrapped the whole thing. 

    Will make more of an effort for Wembley.

    To savage the footage and not waste the time of the people I spoke with, I threw something together.
