With the sheer number of games coming up, we may well struggle a bit to sell out but those who might normally go who opt to give it a miss will open the door for those who might not be eligible otherwise.
I remember when those newspaper reports of us not selling out our semi final against Arsenal in 2017 appeared several days before the match itself. Some on here jumped on it and claimed we’d only sold about 20,000 tickets which was utter bollocks and the reality was that only 2-3000 of a 33,000 allocation were unsold at that point and we did indeed sell out in the end. Somewhat hilariously, some posters on Red Cafe decided to take the piss over on their forum. That was until a match-going United fan waded in to defend City fans for deciding not to go and then said United didn’t sell out their allocation for their semi against Everton the year before. That killed the thread there and then!
