Sheffield Wednesday (h) - Attendance Prediction - Match 45 - Saturday 23rd April 2022
What an end to the season - classic 'It's the Wycombe Way'
I suspect we might find out a definitive answer on current ground capacity.
I go 9444 with 1838 blinking Owls.
Sell out rules will apply - same as the ones which were in place for the classic against Plymouth.
No predictions will count after Wycombe Social Media announce that all tickets have been sold. If this doesn't happen the deadline will be one hour before kick off as usual (to prevent an advantage to anyone counting the empty seats rather than the full ones).
Seven days before the Plymouth game there were approximately 350 seats available in the Family Stand, on Sunday six days before the Sheffield game I counted close to 150 available, now I count 32 available.
Still plenty in the Frank Adams.

8340 with 1678, thanks!
8,068 with 1801 away fans “who have always loved us because we celebrated with them in their hour of triumph” but will be less charitable when we time waste in the corner on 97 minutes having gone one up to a late Bayo scuffer inside the six yard box.

8989 including a 1888 Parliament.
Parliament of Owls because they are considered wise.
Parliament of Crows because they are noisy and unruly.
Owls need a new collective noun!
8,995 with 1,820 Wednesday.
Today is Thursday and it is Wednesday on Saturday. [Apologies - I couldn't resist it]
17 predictions in so far for what looks fairly certain to be our biggest home crowd of the season (so far).
Average for Total Crowd: 8849

Up the Blues.
8998 with 1865 away please
I did like this post so it gains the early award for use of numbers and words.
I see 7,700 have been sold so far. Bit of a rallying call needed from us all I think. Really think we should be selling this game out. We've not had many bigger games than this!
I think there will be a lot of Sheff Weds fans in Block K and L of the Frank Adams...
8,765 with 1,798 Owls who wish they'd stayed in their nests for the day.
8,450 with 1,830 away.
Less than 800 tickets left for the game on Saturday

WWFC just tweeted 8400 sold and our capacity should be 9446. Just went to get some additional tickets and there are only 550 left online.
Not sure what has happened to those other 450 tickets. Would they be the new press area plus freebies plus corporate boxes?
Freebies are counted towards attendance figures. My guess is we still have a large number of corporate/box tickets to sell, plus 550 left online.
Our licensed capacity is 9446 but the ground holds 10137, the loss of seats in the press area and possibly a couple of other areas should not reduce this 9446 as you have excess of around 700, due to the licensed capacity being lower than the actual capacity.
I would be very surprised if the attendance is over 9000 even with a sell out.
