The shrimpers at Wembley....

[galvatron1983]

If we manage to scrape through to the JPT final, how many do you think we would take to the final?

Im thinking 20 to 25,000 including the fair weather fans...

 

[Tommy2holes]

If we can take nearly 20k to the mill stad then i would expect 30k to wembley.

(ps) You have surely jinxed the cup with this post

 

[CocklesShrimps&Whiteweed]

I would EXPECT 25,000 given the number we took all the way to Wales....I see no reason why we couldn't surpass that figure.

The thing is Wembley tickets are quite expensive. and with us being there for the FA Cup final a few weeks later, I'm not sure how many will turn out for the JPT.

 

[leeblue]

easily 30/35k our first trip to cardff was nearly 20k, if we went to wembley this town would go ape5hit for it

I'm going to propose a policy that you can only buy tickets for Wembley if you went to Accrington away. Or if you've ever been hit in the face with a ball from Roy McDonough.

O.K. we have played Accrington away 4 times (If you include 1958 & 1960) so about 300 people have seen us play at Accrington. I would imagine easily more than 300 people have been hit in the face with a ball from Roy McDonough.

So we should have over 600 that meet the criteria, that will easily beat the 150 or so Southend fans that were at our last match at Wembley.

At least 30k, especially as it won't involve the longest train journey in the world to get back...

(via Birmingham for the second final)

 

[mattytheshrimper]

Would say just below 30k

lol! Imagine how many more it might have been if we'd had the Frank Walton stand in Donut's time?!

I might be relatively unique in that I've been to Accrington AND been hit in the face by a Donut special. I was collateral damage from a Donut crunching tackle on a poor unsuspecting left back who was bringing the ball up the wing in front of the west stand.

I think they found pieces of the left back in Westborough Primary School the next morning.

I heard there were bits as far as the Plough......:smiles:

He did have a fair old tackle did Roy, and if you got by him there was Clarkey waiting!

They'd only make it as far as Clarkey if Glenn Pennyfather or Peter Butler missed them...

I was on the bloody train as well. Never seen anything like it in my life..

Actually we've been to Accy away five times if you include the time it got rained off an hour before kick off despite there not actually being any rain.

Wembley only holds 90,000 doesn't it?
