    They don't have any.</p>

    Upper tier completely sold out, and are awaiting delivery of lower tier by SWFC. Expected late this afternoon to go back on sale tomorrow morning.

    How many are they expecting?

    Why isn't this on the official website?

    Lee - I've just phoned the club up.

    I asked:

    "Do you have any tickets left for the match against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday"...

    Woman replied:

    "Yes, we do"...

    "Oh, so If I come down this afternoon, I should be ok to get one?"...

    "Yes, not a problem"...

    We'll see when I get there anyway!

    Could do with finding out - Was gonna go down and pick mine up later this afternoon.

    What's the views like from the lower section - Can't be worse than the upper tier with all the bloody gurders in the way

    Found a pic: Suppose lower tiers got less obstructions.

    Depends when the delivery arrives i suppose. They expected 'late afternoon' when i was in there at 11:45am. Maybe SWFC are much more efficient and have delivered early, meaning that sales can recommence this afternoon.

    I'm up there at 5pm anyway, so shall nip in just before close again to see whether they've arrived.

    As I said last night

    http://www.barnsleyfc.org.uk/bbs/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=146755&posts=31#M987984

    "Friend of mine just told me that Wednesday ground staff have been told to prepare the North West corner for use on Saturday... when I asked if it was for Wednesday fans, she said no, because they were expecting Barnsley to fill AT LEAST both the tiers. "

    I'm sure it's probably just in case we do well with sales, but they are getting the NW corner ready, if the story I heard yesterday was true.

    Weren't that corner struggling for a safety certificate?

    According to a post on Owlstalk, its apparantly got large cracks in the concrete and rusty, couldn't work out if he was describing the whole of Swillsbro or just that corner of the ground!

    Not sure about that .... I know they are planning to use it this season, for home fans or away fans depending on the match...so I don't know if your info is up to date or not.

    That was a myth perpetuated by our former CEO, fortunately we've got an administration that is more transparent, the NW corner is available for use, but cannot see it being in use on Saturday though, by either set of supporters
