Bumper Crowd for Humber Derby

Last updated : 31 October 2002 By Patrick Hill & LT
Both sets of fans are quickly snapping up tickets for the first Humber derby of the season.

The Boothferry Park capacity is currently 14,800 but for safety reasons Humberside police have told Hull City not to fill the ground to capacity as they need overspill space.

Although this means there will certainly not be a capacity crowd inside Boothferry Park, there is still expected to be around 13,200 in attendance which will be Division three's biggest crowd of the season so far.

United have almost sold out their allocation of 1,700 tickets so if you still havent got one we advise you to buy them soon to avoid disappointment.

United fans are reminded that the match is ALL-TICKET and NO TICKETS will be sold on the day to either set of supporters.

On the pitch Peter Beagrie remains a major doubt for the game, opening the door to Scott Brough, while Paul Wheatcroft has returned to reserve team action and could make the subs bench.
