Embleton, Robson, Hume, Hackett, kimpioka, diamond, Bainbridge, Hunter, Taylor, molyneux all players with first team experience. (Just double checked)

I’d presume we’d play the majority or Atleast most would be included in the squad.

None of them are our best U23s.
That would be Gooch, Mumba, Watmore, Maja, O'Nien......

Complete fannies. Talking about banning away fans, and playing it behind closed doors man!

Give them 3000, if they want them. Its been many a moon since their fans used to be able to come through here and take the piss, and this will be no different. Hopefully get a big crowd in, with a fervent atmosphere. Batter them, and be another step closer to a Wembley final.

3000, I would imagine it would cost the club a bomb on policing and extra stewarding.

This is what people are forgetting tbh mate. If they receive 3000 tickets, not only will the ticket prices need to be around £25 to cover costs, but the club won’t generate much money.

In addition, the police will simply not allow them to use public transport on a Tuesday evening.

At the very most, they will get 1500 with Newcastle being forced to put buses on and only selling to SC holders (which stops the non attending mag twats on here going :lol:)

Well if that's the case, you won't be selling out your away allocation will you?

If they are given an allocation, it will be their quickest away sell out of the year

I’m think we’ll shift a lot of tickets. As we’ve seen before, reserve games attract the daft young kids and I’m sure this’ll be no different. It’ll be the diehards and the lad bible brigade who will come. I’d be amazed though if many from either side actually class it as a derby and I’d be amazed if either club looks at it like that also.

Nope. This is entirely different. You've never brought grat numbers forreserve games against us.

You will sell thousands for this one, as it is a big game, regardless of whether or not you want us to believe otherwise.

Is it a PL game, no. FA Cup? Nope. It's a lower league cup match, but it's importance is high on the agenda because our rivalry runs deep. Deep enough to know that this is a game both sets of fans will be desperate to win.

This. And we should be looking to sell out, or at the very least attract 40k.

Exactly. Club may decide to just give them 300 like we did for the Carlisle game.

That would asking for trouble imo. If we just gave them 300 tickets loads more of their idiots would still travel through even if they didn't have a ticket & there would almost certainly be bother outside the ground. Regardless of if they have 300 or 3000 tickets it is still going to need well policing. I would just let them have the 3000 but only sell them to their season ticket holders. That way they are all traceable if they do cause any trouble.

We’ll take less than 1000 on a crowd of no more than 25k.
There’s no way any self respecting SAFC fan can see a reserve game ( for us ) as a big game. You surely havnt got that low where you now see our under 23s as your rivals ??
