We’re in a Play Off final this Sunday

[RHB]

Yeah, I know it's not new news, but it is exciting, and the ticket news is overshadowing the game. Time for a Pre Match thread Mr @Shrimpergonzo? I reckon it can co-exist with the ticket news.

Glad I'm not the only one! Can a mod correct the thread title?

Never trust chat GPT We played 2 matches against Everton in the 40's and 50's in the FA Cup where the crowd was over 50k both times I think

Should be on course to beat that if the restrictions are limited.

Tottenham away in the cup too......in the mid 1930's?

Yes that Everton attendance sounds more like it, our biggest away attendance was in the late 50s at Highbury where 62,686 fans turned up on a very foggy day, sadly we lost 4-0 after a 2-2 draw at Layer Road in front of 16K fans. What a shame they stopped doing replays, they were big money spinners for lower division clubs.

Just found this on FB, apparently Vanarama's official photographer for Sunday - worth keeping an eye on for photos?

The 2025 Vanarama National League Play-Off Final. Oldham Athletic v Southend United.

Vanarama's eleventh and last final as sponsors. What a ride its been!

Well there’s no point having photos of Wembley Park in his prematch portfolio.
Someone needs to tell him it’s closed due to engineering works!
