With the half day public holiday and reasonable ticket prices plus 'everyone hates Mondays' .... perfectly good reasons to attend the game !!
However, I think local support will be in the minority !!! .... hope I'm wrong !! :-\

West Indies have won the toss and elected to bowl first in the 1st Test against England in Antigua

Denesh Ramdin says he is hoping to exploit whatever life there currently is in the deck. They've shied away from playing two spinners, so there's no return for Devendra Bishoo

England line up as expected, with Jonathan Trott coming in to open alongside Alastair Cook and Ben Stokes taking Moeen Ali's allrounder spot at No. 6.
James Tredwell, who lost his place in Kent's Championship side last year, is the spinner.

Let's hope this strategy works.
I'm a little disappointed that the WI approach seems to be a defensive one.

Playing out the first hour and denying any wickets to Jimmy Anderson, is half the job done. Windies' middle order looks good with Shiv Chanderpaul and Marlon Samuels. England, seems to have better balance. The team that plays the waiting game has the edge. Just don't give early wickets and you should be fine.
