So it's 14k tickets now sold, if I am honest I am a little disappointed with that figure. I had the pleasure of attending yesterday's Conference play offs which almost topped 50k, admittedly they had a lot of cheap neutral ticket sales however 25/30k were Bristol Rovers fans.I know that our attendance's dropped in the Cardiff finals, in fact only c6k of us made the third trip against Lincoln, but does anyone know the exact or very close official Blues who attended our four previous finals.Wembley was obviously the biggest but from memory I am sure we took around 20k on both original trips to CardiffThanks
 
Bristol Rovers are a considerably bigger club than us, so I wouldn't pay much attention to their figures. Personally I think 14k with still five days left is pretty decent.

Not sure on the previous LDV attendances though, I think the first one was a shade under 20,000, with the second one slightly less still.

It's not even Monday evening....14k in 3 days is good going. Consider the short notice for many supporters...additional cost etc. Will be 20k sold easily.
 
Hope so - 20k is decent-ish, but if you factor in the easy access to Wembley for most, it's a Saturday kick off and I would be disappointed with anything below 20k.Aside from a debate, does anyone know the attendances as per the original post? Ta

I didn't think the club ever released any official figures but what has been said so far seems about right from my recollection

I'd always thought it was something like 19,000, then 14,000, then 5,000.

No I don't think any official away attendance was or ever has been given for any of our Football League Trophy finals or the Play Off final. I think the Blackpool estimate was just over 20,000 the Wrexham game was slightly less but not by much.
 
Shame we don't have records from such prestigious matches, it's no biggy but I was just interested. If our away followings from this season have been anything to go by then we could get Wembley rocking at the weekend. Yellow is such a stand out colour visually, hopefully our 20k can look amazing

I have not got any yellow clobber and apart from the away shirt I'm not sure there is anything else in the Club Shop.
How many on here will actually wear anything yellow?

Wonder how many have yellow shirts and whether there will be yellow flags though ?

Yep I didn't hang around for the presentations, strange thing was there was already Wrexham fans outside the ground as well.

I'd been at a mate's wedding in Hastings the day before. Up at the crack of dawn with a stinking hangover, rattler in to London, tube across town, long old train to Wales, 2-0 defeat, very slow journey back. Ugh.
