Well 1 game to go and only Worthing and Hornchurch guaranteed a place. We need one of top 2 to do us a favour next week to guarantee us a place. Alternatively a draw at Weston would do, but that looks unlike with our terrible form. Only Maidenhead or Maidstone can deny us a place in the playoffs. If we can finish in top 5 and get a home eliminator, I think that's probably best we can do considering our form.
@gary-munnery 300 Maidenhead took to Hornchurch Yesterday. Would be very surprised if they needed the 25% allocation. Possibility the club could make more available for home fans if/when they know how many Maidenhead will sell. Maybe availability on the door who knows
Torquay have sold out already
If we get past Maidenhead then hopefully DW sell the Torquay away tickets?
Otherwise I can see Torquay fans buying in our bit (a bit like the Ebbsfleet end at Worthing yesterday had loads of home fans in it)

@dorking-eagle Taken from the Torquay website:
The Wollens Terrace and Bristow’s Bench Blocks A & B will not be on sale until confirmation of United’s semi-final opponents is confirmed on Wednesday evening, with Away Ticketing details also being announced at this point.
The Torquay Boreham Wood PO game last season home fans had the Wollens Terrace stand also. Bwood took 280 altogether, personally id like to be behind the goal should we make it past Maidenhead but likely hood is we will be in the Bristow Bench blocks A and B
@hemelwanderer That was quick, must be 5000 or so sold then so far , with the other bits not on sale yet
@gary-munnery 3pm Yesterday tickets went on sale. I reckon we would take at least 400, im sure any other remaining home tickets will be snapped up quick

Be interesting what the total capacity of the 2 seating blocks is (A & B combined)
If it is 500 or so then that would probably be (just) enough for us at a 12.30 ko
The Torquay stewards are very arsey about people standing in the seats though (even in the very back row) hence why they opened the terrace at the last minute recently.

@dorking-eagle If the 25% of capacity applies for all PO games then we would in theory be entitled to 1625 tickets. The options I believe would be initially give us blocks A and B and if they sold out/ was a demand for more then they would move us to the terrace behind the goal and put home supporters in the away sections of the Bristow. Or purely allocate us the two blocks and give the terrace to home fans.
By the way, 3 great reason to be pleased that Worthing have gone up today,
Firstly, delighted for the hard working people at the club who have built something very special there, not just the nice new stand, but the whole club.
Second, so glad they aren't in the play offs, you could bet they'd get some annoying last minute winner in it!
Thirdly, the feral teenage followers that are an utter PITA yet their club never seem to ban them or do anything to control or manage them will get several absolute hidings next season, and not before time!
And fourth, they won't be in the NLS next season which helps make it a slightly easier league. If we don't get through these playoffs then hopefully Torquay join them as that will really give us a big boost for winning the title next year.
Hornchurch, Hemel or Weston winning would be a bit of a disaster...
In this morning's update, Marc making a claim for 1500+ tickets at Torquay should we reach the semi 😍

Might need to lay on a few more coaches!
No injury news, guess he’s keeping his cards close to his chest on that . Although he said he had a couple returning
@dorking-eagle Should Hornchurch make it to the final the away allocation will be 750 based on the 25%
@hemelwanderer anything more than 1200 overall at Hornchurch feels VERY crowded lol

5th seed Weston won 6-5 on penalties (1-1 after ET) away at 4th seed Hemel tonight.
They will play away at Hornchurch in the SF.
