I think this is our biggest test of the season and aggrevated by the loss of Reda. I think we will start with the same players as Tuesday with Pipe coming in for Reda and Dawson in for Howells. The attendance should be close to 3000 I'm going for 2750. Let's hope for another cracking game

The excitement in this house for the game tomorrow is currently through the roof as our son is mascot tomorrow!!
Should be a good game, think it will be closer than Tuesdays game, especially with us missing Reda. We should benefit from Pipes leadership on the pitch though if Cresswell is also out.
I'm going a bit less at 2,480.

Yes, first home game against one of the teams I think will be in the top 5. John Still a great manager at this level, Hawkins seems to be their danger man (so a bad time to lose central defenders), should be a good game, hard to call.
As for the crowd estimate, I was going to go for less than Grumpy but then I saw this on Twitter:
Record number of tickets pre-sold for a league game for our fixture against @dag_RedFC tomorrow. Thank you for your support #spitfires
So I'll guess 2650.

Hopefully Cureton will get a run out at some point...

Agree with ballboy think the team will be;
Clarke Pipe - Partington - Dugdale - Green Dawson - Taylor - Reason - Coulson Bird - Mandron
I think Dawson will give us a bit more down the right than Howells does and certainly with Pipe at right back it will still be a threat.
Tough game as D&R will want to bounce back from a defeat Tuesday. Frankie Raymond plays for them!
Anything over 2,800 would be decent.

3020. I'm going for 2-2. Think that will be a decent point and it would keep the unbeaten run going.

When I see that I still have to pinch myself. Little more than five seasons ago 800 would have been decent.

I think some of these attendance predictions are pretty optimistic - but I didn't see us getting over 4000 on Tuesday - was very glad to be proven wrong!
Brilliant news about the record pre-sale! I think we have been selling tickets online for about a year now, am sure it has helped a lot.
Kidderminster (last game of 14/15 season) when we secured a playoff place must have been a pretty big pre-sale. We got over 4,000 that day.

Largely down to the affordable football the club is offering and the excellent value of season tickets In the Conference South days a very good crowd would be over 800 as you say so its a credit to SD & the club.

It's not that long ago that a crowd of 200 would have been regarded as very good!
