  I think we will get just over 20k. I think the Sheffield result helped and there is a real feel good factor around the club at present. Long may it continue.

  Watford was 21.9k. The drop in away support will have that to almost 20k, and I would be very surprised and impressed if our home turnout matches that day, so can’t see over 20k but here’s a hopin’ 🙏

  I suppose one thing in favour of this is the 3 week wait til I next game and some might not want to wait that long so be more motivated to turn up for this fix!

  Wasn’t it Blackburn that wanted to sue us for the cost of meat pies for a postponed game during our financial woes in the Eighties?

  So far this season all our home league games have been special attractions.
  
  A first game back at this level, a game v a newly relegated Premier League club and a local derby.
  
  Despite the 12.45 KOs all three have seen 20k+ attendances and a great home atmosphere.
  
  Now we face Blackburn Rovers.
  
  We no due respect, they are not attractive opposition (I'm sure Rovers fans' feelings are mutual).
  
  But Rovers are just the sort of side we need to beat at home if we want to consolidate in the top half of the table, especially with two away games ahead.
  
  Not that it will be an easy game in any way but it will be a real rest of how we are settling in back in the Championship.
  
  It will also be a test of our core support. Can we keep up that 20k figure if the Jimmy Seed is not sold out and there is no extra edge to the game? Yes, many of us go to see Charlton regardless of who we face but that is not everyone.

  Ahem, bellwether surely.

  If was anything near 20,000 tickets sold or the possibility of reaching over that number, then you can bet that the club would have announced it by now on the website and the socials
  
  The silence at this stage speaks volumes

  Think it was threatened, they probably realised they'd be at the back of a very long queue if they did.

  I think the comms is stuck in a queue behind the apology for our own fans getting beaten up at the last game. Maybe.

  How many are Blackburn bringing down? Never remember them filling the Jimmy Seed, even in the Premier League

  I’m going to Oasis so minus 3 from me bloody typical as a 12.30 would have been fine to still get to Wembley for the support
  
  I’m going for the 19000 with 1500 away

  Nowhere near 20k sadly. Though after being off the table for Millwall, there should be a fair freebie dump for this one. A lot of tickets in my block have switched to not available in the last day

  I doubt we'll make 20k but I think the gate will be an indication of the level of our support for a "run of the mill" game.
  
  All the replies have focused on the gate but equally I think the result will also be a measure of our level playing wise.

  First game I'm able to get to since the turn of the year. It did not go unnoticed that the moment I stopped going we soared up the table and started to play something resembling football again. So I am open to financial inducements to stay at home for this one.
