Even though their average gates have been slightly smaller than ours this season they are expecting nearly 40,000 for the Millwall game. If they go up, ourselves, Southampton and Charlton will be the giants of League 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one quaking in boots this end and not too many "Cup Finals" I think. Hard competitive matches yes. Also away to Carlisle on a Tuesday evening in February when it''s sleeting does not entirely encourage a "Cup Final" atmosphere.[:|] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
