    I think we've sold 550 in advance so maybe 650 or 700 with pay on the door.

    Think more than 500 have already been sold, maybe 700? Don't think that's too bad for a struggling side on a Tuesday night a fair distance away.

    Can't fault that at all. Freezing cold night with is at the bottom of the league, fair play.

    To be honest I was expecting 2/3 hundred so I'm a bit surprised at 500+.

    Good for a team in our position.

    Fair play to anyone that's going. Due to work & cost I pick & choose my away games so I'm certainly not picking one that clashes with City - Barca

    Bit harsh. I'd love to go but I don't finish work til 7 & it's surrounded by a lot of local derbies away from home that have been on a Saturday so I imagine a lot of fans have already spent a fortune on football this month

    Pathetic response. Why is taking nigh on 700 fans to an away match on a cold February evening when we're second bottom and there's Champions League football on telly disgusting? The fact that there's a fiver off the normal entrance fee doesn't come into it. It's still going to cost around £50 to watch when everything is taken into consideration. Football has no divine right to demand attendances away from home like that. There are teams in Serie B who don't even get that for home matches.
    Watched "12 Years a slave" in tarn last week, only cost £12, won BAFTAS and there were less than 80 there - get a bit of perspective man.
