Obviously we'll get an announcement soon but hopefully the club will be arranging it with Season Ticket holders, Vice-Presidents etc first.
I'd like to hope that we can have tickets with our friends.

Not to detract from enjoying the night, the fun starts now as I have to secure 3 tickets and transatlantic flights

I would not worry I am sure everyone who wants a ticket will be able to get one....record attendance for a final was 85k for Sunderland V Portsmouth two massive teams and there were still 5k empty seats. With this final only have one massive team in the U's and with Hartlepool or Rotherham averaging 4k and just under 10k respectfully I would think there will be plenty of spare tickets  |

I'd be extremely shocked if somehow anyone cannot get a ticket. Although yes I must admit there is a part of me that is anxious just in case. 😅
Just need my mate I go with to get his job covered at work that Sunday, it is my weekend off so I am definitely able to go.

By the time tickets for sponsors etc have been dished out that capacity will be down to about 30000 split between two teams. That should still be enough though.

I have just spoken to AB, and can confirm the plan is to have a brief priority period for ST holders etc. Less about ensuring people can get tickets, that's not in doubt, but more to help our regulars who want to be together in the same block(s).

Hopefully, Bruce will organise some tickets for Dos. He’s missed out on so much in the last couple of seasons after laying the foundations for so long, it’d be great to see him there. In fact, I'm sure all of the old legends will be catered for. It should be a great day.

IMO the club should allow each ST holder by 1 plus up to 5 for a period or something. This might help avoid touts messing it about. Keep the genuine supporters with first tabs.

What's everyone's best guess on how many will come out of the woodwork for the big day? If boreham no fans can pull 5k surely we'll find 10k+? My estimate is 12,000

In my supporting lifetime (since 1987) the largest number of fans we've taken to a match not at GGL was to Norwich in 1989 where we took just over 5,000. I'm sure our split of the Coventry game exceeded that, but I don't know the exact number.
A quick ask (and obviously, but not exclusively aimed at Mr Frake), what were the attendances for out 3 trips to Wembley in 63,69 and 81 (I think 63 was 45k, and 81 was just over 20k, but I don't know what the 69 one was)

All the relevant posts pop up! 47,500 - North Shields v SUFC, 1969 Amateur Cup Final 45,000 - Wimbledon v SUFC, 1963 Amateur Cup Final 22,578 - Bishop's Stortford v SUFC, 1981 F.A. Trophy Final Your assumptions were fairly accurate, Andy. ("assumptions" isn't quite the right word, but hey, we're through to Wembley, I don't care!) |
