Anything over 40k is very good in my opinion.
We must have pretty much sold out the lower two tiers and the EL3 for City to open SL3 so that implies 40k plus whatever Palace bring and what we sell in NL3. I'll go for 41,500
Take 5.5k off upper tier West and Say 5k off South stand and then 2.5k not sold on the lower tiers and you will be pretty much bang on. We will get 2000 turn up on the night as well. 43,333 my guess.
Presumably palace will be bringing a fair few if they've taken all 3 tiers?
Lots of boro singing around the swamp!!
I found the mutual love-in between united and 'Boro fans on the last day of the '96 season, when we were relegated against Liverpool, to be nauseating in the extreme and I've had a downer on the Teeside outfit ever since.'Boro haven't played United for over 6 years - if they were an established Premier League club there wouldn't be anything like as much novelty about their game tonight and they'd be bringing a similar amount down to Old Trafford that Palace are bringing to ours. Have a look at 'Boro's home attendance from the FA Cup 4th round win against United in 2002 - 17,624 and that was with about 6000 United fans present.
