Arsenal v Spurs will not sell out (29 Jan)

usual thread starter... this one was inspired by a post in the general chat section of the forum!

Being quite a sad individual, I've been following this since sales of Spuds tickets started. The lower tier (24425) sold out quite quickly. And it certainly looks like the upper has been selling well. The site says that 36 out of 44 (82%) upper tier blocks are already sold out so (26646 x 82% = 21800). Being ultra pessimistic I've assumed that the blocks with tickets available are only half full so add in another 2422. So by my reckoning sales are already up to appox 48600 not including Club and Corporate. So I'd agree that this game won't be a sell out - but what an achievement if we hit, say, 55000 when the tickets only went on sale a week ago! And I'd also agree that 5000 spuds isn't an attractive proposition, but I'm hoping that my kids will be able to "experience" something approaching the atmosphere of the north london derbys of old. I thought the atmosphere at this seasons league game was dreadfully dull. If it takes letting a few more spuds in (they'll still be outnumbered 10:1) to spice things up then so be it.
