Just over 2,000 tickets remain available to home fans for next Tuesday's Carling Cup second round clash with West Ham United.

Season ticket holders and priority support groups have been busy buying tickets since Monday morning for the meeting with the Hammers, with advance sales at both club shops on a virtual par with last season's Johnstone's Paint Trophy meeting with Bristol City.

Fans with their match tickets or special vouchers from last weekend's game against Crewe have the whole of Friday to ensure they don't miss out on a place at the game, before general sale begins exclusively online at 7:00pm.

It could be the case that virtually no tickets remain available for general sale on Saturday morning.

A statement will appear online shortly after 5:00pm on Friday detailing exactly how many tickets will be made available online for each area of the stadium with remaining availability.

Gasheads who have yet to secure their tickets are strongly advised to be online with credit or debit card in hand for 7:00pm on the dot in order to avoid any possible disappointment.

All seats for the match have already completely sold out, as has all hospitality throughout the stadium.

Seats have also completely sold out for the forthcoming home games against Nottingham Forest and Leeds United.

All three fixtures are expected to be full to capacity in home areas well in advance of the actual matchdays.
