The BBC reported 3020 as the capacity when we moved in there. Hopefully they didn't just lift this figure from Wikipedia as that also cites 3020.

I've been in crowds of 3000 at Dulwich Hamlet FC - the ground they were evicted from last season - and suspect we'll have similar issues on Sunday to the ones they used to face. Specifically the lack of terracing will mean there are 2000+ present but there will be a lot of restricted views. The fact that about half of one side is effectively no go for spectators who want to be able to see the match due to the presence of the control tower, substitutes standing up to watch the game and so on, is likely to exacerbate the issue. There are some fairly obvious pinch points as well once the gates start to rise if people want to move around the ground. I think it goes without saying it would be worth arriving a bit before the traditional five minutes before kick off given the ground access arrangements.

All in all I'd say a bit cosy and potentially quite frustrating as a spectator. I'd prefer that to the 400 or so of us that were rattling about in the ground v Dewsbury mind.

CMG - I'm season ticket so am not totally au fait with individual match sales but am not aware of a sales facility at Ealing. I'd suggest buying at home and printing off if that facility exists. They scan a QR code on the way in these days so there should be no issues at all that way.

Thanks.
I wonder if they've considered that maybe as many as 500 or so "lapsed" fans might be at this game....a temporary stand might be worth it if they can get a safety cert sorted in quick-time. Might have to check out the availability of corphospo.....rub shoulders with the glitterati

Mate The glitterati are firmly rooted in the Main Bar!

They coped when Leeds came down two years ago. Mind you the game was televised which probably prevented many from coming down from Yorkshire.
I believe that on that day Trailfinders broke the record for bar takings. It is a shame Broncos did not benefit.

1850 was the gate that day...... We could be looking at nearly double that on Sunday and as for the bar takings..... I wasn't there. In 2016

I would do it online, all the club and players will be giving out flyers tomorrow afternoon and given the small number of staff I wouldn't risk it

How many of the figure are going to be home fans and how many do we think are coming from Leeds?

London based ex-pat northerners always boosted gates when we played the likes of Leeds...... I expect a fair few of them Will be in attendance as will lapsed Broncos fans too..... 60/40 split in favour of the home side I reckon

The ground can cope with up to 3000+ if as quoted above there were 1800+ at last Leeds game then we wont have a problem with increased crowds at this on. Leeds doubled our crowd norm last time they came to us which probably made it seem crowded but there was still enough room around the ground for more. Over 3200 would be a little snug

I'm having a brain fade here, does my season ticket include the 8s?

I read somewhere else that Sunday was free for the faithful....

Yes.

Yes, but not the MPG if we make it.

Leeds probably without Watkins, Hall, Parcell, Delaney, Garbutt, Handley, Walker, Thompson, Crosby for the game.

The club are doing some promotion at last. Flyers given out at Ealing Broadway station over the last couple of days.. Some of the players were there last night. Now a Digivan, promoting the club and our forthcoming games.

All good......would be great if we could sell out the ground and get the local media there. A real feel-good buzz....just arrived in West Ealing myself and have to say this is the most excited I've been about Broncos game in a very long time.....

Golding, Briscoe, Sutcliffe, Moon, Myler, Cuthbertson, Singleton, JJB, Ablett, Ward, Dwyer, Mullally, Keinhorst, Ferres, Peteru, Walker, Oledzki, Walters, Briscoe

Sinfield has already confirmed that Walker will miss the game.

But still a very talented SL line up

The same nineteen for the Leeds game. Dragon included, which is good.

All on D/R with Fev???

Not sure how Leeds can include Briscoe (L) as he played for Fev against Batley last Sunday? IF the date his transfer to Leeds was announced is when it actually happened he didn't play enough games for Fev on DR afterwards to qualify to play for both (only played 3 not the required 5) in the 8s.

I had the exact same impression on this too. Must be including the previous games he’s played for them. Strange deal.

Unless someone's messed up. Be funny if Leeds were docked points for fielding an illegible player....

Games when he was a Fev player are included.

......and people think hetherigton is good?????
