The Brum fans are worried that they won't break the 20,000 barrier for their game today - and that's with Bolton bringing 5000.
So it'll be interesting to see the crowd there.
Admittedly, with the League Cup already safely in the trophy cabinet, and a relegation battle looming, it's not their priority - but their tickets are the same price as ours at £15/20.

I can't honestly believe that any SUPPORTER would not go to a game becasue Pulis as made some bad tactical decisions recently, and the football for the last 3 or 4 games hasn't been that good.

Well out 7 of us who go every game.only two are attending tomorow,strange thing is these arent Johny come latelies but lads who have going forever since the 70s. The reason most used is they are coming home from games having not enjoyed what Pulis is doing and feeling unhappy and frustrated. For me it was a comibination of this and family issues. Whatever its a free world and all these lads are season ticket holders and i know they have all renewed for next season.Persoanlly i think we will lose a couple of thousand season ticket holders next season. Whaever if this is a wholesale view then the club need to start listening toi the supporters. I still can't find that anything other than baffling. We've had a crap few games, so they're not going to bother turning up for what will almost certainly be the biggest game of the season, and could even become one of the more significant games in our history? I just cannot understand that at all.

We sell at least half of those today- and probably the rest on the gate- it will a sell out or very close to it.Given its live on TV, our recent entertainment value and the economic climate -its not too bad...If it hadnt been on TV we would probably have had another 10,000 looking for ticketd

Very strange. All these dark shite times we have endured in the past, and on the eve of an epic match in the last eight of the FA Cup we still have nearly 2,000 tickets left.
Anyone in two minds about going tomorrow I would urge you to get down there. If its shit again then so be it, if its a classic you will regret not being there. I wouldn`t miss it for the world.

Baffling how Brum get shit crowds. Birmngham is a big place just to have 2 Prem teams where one doesn't sell out.

Says it all really. This is what the FA Cup has come to. Ruined by the FA and the big clubs to be fair.
Still shitting myself for tomorrow though :-)

Piss poor not being able to sell 23,000 heavily discounted tickets for a quater final. If we draw tomorrow, for the replay at Upton Park we'll be given 5,500 tickets! That will be about 4,500 tickets too many

Not piss poor. Just the way it is. Our FA Cup crowds are probably very good compared to other clubs our size.
Bet Shit V Arse is a sell out !

How have we not sold out - truly baffling.
It really does make us look small time.
And we are in such great form at home this year, unbeaten and scoring in every game.

Live terrestrial coverage is the killer.
And let's not forget Brum only sold 18000 tickets to their fans today, at similarly discounted prices

Reduced prices and us on a real run of consistent form at home. This is a BIG game, indeed it is a VERY BIG game. Can folk pay on the door or have plod put a stop to that?

'It really does make us look small time.' No it doesn't. Anyway we are small time in this league. To many think we are bigger than what and who we are on here

Whats the problem? - our crowds have held up very impressively - not least in comparison to the midland clubs.
These are grim times financially and I would be amazed if this isnt reflected in season ticket sales next year. Just have to accept it - its not because of style of play or disloyalty from the fans its just people's circumstances in what is a very poor part of the country.

Surely there are 24,000 wanting tickets.

It's a disgrace not selling out. The one competition we have a genuine chance of getting to Wembley in and we can't sell out.
For the first time in 39 years we have a realistic chance of winning a trophy, which is what surely as fans we crave for.
Clearly there are many with genuine financial reasons, but considerably more who are an embarrasment.
What are those who can't be arsed waiting for, a champions league semi?

No doubt the usual so called supporters that can't afford or be bothered to go will find the money to be stuck in the pub watching the game.

Completely different competition from 39 years ago as is The League Cup.
