a big attendance is expected. Will be surprised to see more than 50 from Barrow. It was encourage to see more than 500 in the friendly against Sheffield, but realistically what would you consider to be a good encourage attendance on Sunday.

Would love to see a 1000, but i would be surprised. I think 700+ would be a great achievement in the right direction.

Realistically i would go for a crowd of 550 to 600 and 700 would be a great achievement.

Hope to see more than 50 from Barrow.

It's a local derby...like all our games in this poxed-up cup.....so there will be thousands of away supporters....thanks to astute planning by the authorities......they really need a bullet.
And I call it a poxed-up cup......because little clubs have no chance....and that is not the idea behind cup competitions.....which should be true knock-out competitions.
Not a hybrid of leagues followed by knock-outs.
As for the crowd......mediocre.

You missed out the bit about the good chance to collect more injuries.

I think if you get 400 you will have done well as you dont have many local lads playing. Infact do you have any locals in your squad other than Lawton and Ellery?

Henry also out on Sunday.

I'm sure there will be plenty of effort on Sunday & sometimes these situations bring the best out of the team .
