Lol, I counted 'em! Nothing like 71 or 77!

Well we only have 5,500 fans? So don't know how we can take anymore then that tbh.
Yes I completely agree, just feel for the poor buggers that have to travel so far... OK for the majority of Blues fans.
53 I counted that day:thumbsup:Lol, I counted 'em! Nothing like 71 or 77!
Stuff Wembley!
Would be better if played at Spurs,Westham and suchlike.35000 capacity would virtually guarantee a sell out with an intense atmosphere .
Looking at banks of empty seats at Wembley is stupid.
How many fans would two northern League 2 teams bring if the final was at Spurs? Likewise if the final was at say Everton how many we would take there?
A suitable ground would have to be sorted out in advance, you cant wait until you know the finalists and pick a ground close to both teams.
I can see mrsblues point, when the teams are decided for the play offs surely they could say well if Southend get to the final and play Fleetwood then it will be at this location etc? Or is that just to much of a dick dance/ tall order to sort out.

Every club knows Wembley will be the venue so every single fan from wherever will have to travel to London.
Besides how long would it really take to organise any venue to appease both sets of fans?

Exactly!,
The football authorities are dumb,Remember when we all travelled to Cardiff TWICE to witness sparse crowds in a dire atmosphere !,Wembley was another mad thing to behold yet the dimwits at the FA insist on these massive venues for small clubs.
2 clubs reach the final then the FA have IMO ample time to locate a suitable venue fitting for both clubs and their fan base .
I couldn't really disagree more - the final has to be at Wembley.
Why as fans should we be punished for supporting a small team, we deserve our day at the home of football as much as anyone else.
I'm also assuming you realise that if it was played someone else, we could only expect half of the capacity for ourselves? Based on us taking 30k to Wembley last year, some of those would have been unable to get a ticket if the game had been at Spurs or West Ham, or indeed the vast majority of grounds in the country.
I suspect many paid on the day?
85% of those 30k NEVER attend league games.
