I got terrace ticket 212 about half an hour ago...and actually had to queue for a few minutes too!

Love to see the club with this kind of atmosphere!

This is what it's all about though. To me these cup ties are not just about the game itself (which is usually over in a flash), it's about the 2 weeks prior to the game with all those extra people coming in and out of the club each day and the general buzz around the place. All of a sudden all the people who normally take the mick out of non league football start taking it seriously and asking about all sorts of things to do with the club. A lot of people are working their socks off to ensure everything goes smoothly too and they deserve huge recognition for their efforts. It's all massively exciting and we've got another whole week to dream of giant killing before the big game. Now, where is my giant killers DVD?

One of the best moments of my Alty watching life was joining the queue that stretched from the original golf road turnstiles to the bar exit gates for the Barnet game in 1991.

Some people will think thats odd, but it was just so good to queue to watch Alty!

I also remember thinking that people may have been evacuated!

On a similar note, I remember as a kid, going past the ground in 1988 on my way to school when - bang! - this almighty TV gantry had appeared on the popular side roof, ready for the Halifax match.  Match of the Day was coming! 

Shame about the result...

I remember that too Bob...amazement that I was going to see Alty on the TV.

The Halifax game was such an anti climax!!

That will be 284 standing sold then..and Hughesy said about 100 seats gone by lunch..could shift 500 today so its not a bad start at all.

When you consider that most regular fans won't have had the chance to come down yet that's highly impressive.

[RedWhiteRedWhite]

They've set up a bit of a 'merchandise spread' just next to where they are selling the tickets too...which when i was there had a bit of a gathering around it...

I think this weekend will be hammered for sales...with circa 500 sold today, and possibly more on Saturday & Sunday...we could have half our allocation sold a week before the game! Quality!

One thing that occurred to me earlier was the fact that it's been so long since we had a big draw in the FA Cup it's actually going to be a real novelty to local people again (where 15/20 years ago it was almost expected of us). There are so many who have moved into the area in the last 10 years or so who know nothing of our past exploits in the cup. This could work in our favour because as well as the usual suspects who turn up for big games there could be a whole new flock of "floating supporters" who come along and get bitten by the "Alty bug".

[markecky]

Merchandise is a great idea..the bandwagon will need shiny new scarf to pretend they have been coming for years 

[gazwarrington]

Will your 'Alty" Scarf be making an appearance on the day ?

I brining a bit of FA Cup banter, but its not a drum ... Yes I hear you all sigh at once ...

My scarf is so old it is untrue, will i bring it? i am not sure, i am wondering if colours is really a good thing tbh.
