Gillingham 1999 play off comes to mindYeah, know what you mean, but i think about all the times minnows get to Wembley for play off finals for L1 & L2, or for FA Trophy finals etc - they always sell loads more than their regular attendance. If the stadium can hold it, twas ever thus I think, unfortunately.

The population of Gillingham, Kent was 108,785 in 2020. I think they sold 45,000 tickets, so almost half the bloody town went.

Do you remember the rumours that Millwall were going to get tickets off them and come for a rumble with us hahaThe population of Gillingham, Kent was 108,785 in 2020. I think they sold 45,000 tickets, so almost half the bloody town went.

When did you first start watching them ?I was there that day at the top of the stand banging away on the wood panel attached to the concrete wall. Thoroughly enjoyed the game and the banter even though we lost and we were also made to feel very welcome at Darlo's ground that same season. As soon as the Class Of 92 took us over the next season everyone hated us and loads of Darlington fans turned up at Moor Lane causing no end of bother. Sometimes wish we were back in the good old non league days with our tangerine and black colours.
Yeah true about 2/3k so just give them the normal away end they can't moan at thatWhat do they get for home games ?? that should be the allocation
Fuck Gary chuckle and his merry men making a shit load of money on the back of this cup tie
Up to 15%, dependant on what the local Safety Advisory Group determine.It’s 15% isn’t it?
That’s more 8-9,000.

Spoke to Gillingham fans on the day and they all said they hated MillwallDo you remember the rumours that Millwall were going to get tickets off them and come for a rumble with us haha
Quite a few City fans from Prestwich go to watch Salford City.Loads went a bit ago when they played Burnley in a cup gameTough call that one. They obviously have some hard core support that was there before the rag involvement but a fair few will probably have rag affiliations as well. Haven't we got to give them a certain percentage of the capacity for a cup game that is higher than a premier league game? Either way the rag scum will be looking to cause trouble around town and near the stadium tickets or not.
My mate takes his grandson as can't afford tickets at the Etihad plus he home in minutes after the final whistle .Quite a few go to Radcliffe Boro as well.Meant to add Loads of the kids got autographs and photos with Vincent Company .Just a shame City price these people out

Yes it was headline news on the back.page of one of the tabloids on the way to the game.

That is why the allocation should be for their fans only.
United fans will want tickets just to kick off and hide behind the Salford City tag.
Is there 8 or 9 thousand Salford City fans ? will Salford City FC give a fuck if United fans buy tickets nope
the only way you stop Scum fans coming to the Etihad is to play both games at the same time

But wouldn’t they also come to the Etihad if they were playing us there in the league or the cup?? I don’t quite see the issue. Some on here seem to be catastrophising like it’s gonna be some kind of all out carnage.That is why the allocation should be for their fans only.

As long as it’s policed at the same levels as a derby match, I can’t see why their ticket holders, be they Salford or united fans, are gonna make it any different to any match when we play them.
Anyway, whilst in theory I agree and would be happy if they were arranged at the same time, let’s be honest, it’s never ever gonna happen mate.
Some people are getting knickers in a twist about nothing.Cant believe what I'm reading.You honestly think thousands of rags are going to turn up to kick of ?dream on .Might be an odd few but thousands behave.Wont be any worse mither than when we play the rags in the league
Is that nowt on telly to watch ?

But its not United ?
Salford City has got nothing to do with United or its fans
If Salford City sell tickets to United fans 100% they will sing United songs about City and LIverpool and Leeds
What is the point of any real Salford City fans turning up ?

I can’t be arsed with these type of games as they are generally pretty uncompetitive. Think I’ll give it a swerve.

People complain when we get run of the mill premiership/championship opposition finally get a left field draw and people still aren't happy!I can’t be arsed with these type of games as they are generally pretty uncompetitive. Think I’ll give it a swerve.

That can't happen unless both are not on TV.That is why the allocation should be for their fans only.

I can't see many Mu fans wanting to see an easy City win.
