Let's say it settles at 12k ST and 3k away that's already 15k. Quite a few tickets already sold, so I think we should be able to break 20,000.
Walk ups on the day will be interesting as we continue to penalise late purchasers.
I’m not even sure we’ll get many walk ups this season. When away teams sell out, it normally goes to existing database only, which will happen a lot this season.
Though it doesn’t seem Charlton have done this since Watford sold out last week…
If I catch Elton John sneakily sitting in a home seat, he'll have Blue Eyes by the end of the game.

Hope you give him a rocket, man.
Well it will be on a Saturday and thats alright for fighting.
I’d hope that the crowd will be around 24k for our first home game back in the Championship. I’d personally be disappointed if it were any less after the clamour for tickets for the Wycombe game then Wembley.
Traditionally first game of the season gates are usually a bit ‘below’ what one might expect. A lot of no shows at this time of the year, always has been the case and always will be. As per usual, there will be a significant difference between tickets sold and actual bums on seats, it depends on which figure the club puts out I guess.
Not in the last couple of years when the opening game has had higher attendance than others
Orient at home last season was lower than the average for the season so definitely not a higher attendance
1) you're also quoting attendances. I'm as much talking about the actual numbers in the ground which anecdotally, if I recall the match seemed very well attended / much more full than matches with similar full attendances so the point about below gates for first game is not reflected
2) it was anyway the highest crowd for the first half of the season ignoring the tourist games V Bham and Wrexham.
3) Orient at home on the first game of 23/24 was the highest crowd of the entire season by a considerable distance and 50% higher than the 2 home matches that followed in August.

I think the opposite. I think we'll get quite a few walk ups because it feels like a lot of people will wait and see what time the kick off is (12.30, 3, 5.30 etc) before deciding if they can make it.
Plus if we're doing reasonably well, people will naturally want to come.
So kick off times announced months in advance and people will only decide on the day if they wanna come?

The two games you mentioned were full of wives, girlfriends, partners, grandparents and grandchildren. There won’t be the same enthusiasm for a bog standard league game however I am expecting at least 20k
they must mean matchday tickets are treble, not including season tickets - can't think we've sold 3 times as many including season tickets at this stage - despite all my promotional work
i think we could do with a bit of QA on some of these announcements - i always like to land a few facts on the few palace fans i know when they attempt a bit of gloating - i told them we'd won more play off finals then any other team in the league and they reeled off 4 that they'd won - did i get my facts wrong? i'm sure the club stated this a day or so after we won in May?

Did you get the job advertised for the Marketing Department?
So somewhere between 19,000 and 21,000 sold so far then. Not bad.
Golfie will not be happy having to get up and down from his seat for people leaving early for half time.
no, i think its saying we've surpassed the 16,500 from 2009
“Largest crowd in at least 16 years” suggests that it surpasses every count since 2009, including 2015 vs. QPR which saw 19,469 in attendance.
What would be the point in them announcing we are set to have a crowd larger than the 16,000 that turned out to see a game in the third division in a random season where the team achieved nothing?
They are comparing to the 2008/09 season it seems, our first relegation season to L1 since the EPL years. The attendance of the first game of that season vs Swansea (a 2 nil win) was 21,675.

Yes, so somewhere between 21,675 in 2008 and 19,469 in 2015.

Orient 2 seasons ago was over 18000
QPR a decade ago was over 19000

Can't stand all that BS.
