Last updated : 14 April 2005 By Paul Farrington
Ticket sales for the away game's with Leicester and Preston have been going well.

Leicester tickets are no longer available and around 1,500 have been sold, giving the Latics a strong away support for Saturday's crucial game.

Jimmy Bullard: Ten yard bucket challenge
Preston tickets meanwhile have been going like hot cakes. 2,000 tickets have already been sold to season ticket holders and only just over a 1,000 now remain.

The game is live on Sky Sports for anyone who misses out on a ticket.

Jimmy Bullard meanwhile will appear on Soccer AM again tomorrow morning. The former Posh midfielder was on the show just a few weeks back with the out-takes of his video message to Perterborough fans.

This time he will be attempting the 10 yard bucket challenge, surely one not to be missed!

Paul Jewell meanwhile has told his team not to sulk at this stage of the season. It is more important to think about the team and getting over the finish line.

He said: I've stressed to the players this is not the time for sulks or to be upset, it's all about us getting over the line. The team comes first at the moment and the players do realise that because they're a good, honest bunch who have done wonderfully."

Comments that suggest Ellington may make way this weekend for either Cardiff goalscorer Alan Mahon or Lee McCulloch who has recovered from injury.
