    All 2300 Palace tickets sold out 10days before the game. Why dont CP get more tickets; I bet there'll be loads of spare home seats.
    There will be, but I would assume that they don't want to muck us about by moving people from the Vicarage Road End somewhere else for a league game. If I'm correct, those in the Vicarage Road End are only moved for cup games with teams with a large following and the playoff semi-finals."
