But we are growing for sure, the numbers we've hit this season are unheard off for us at this level. 34,000 at Wembley, 26k at home Vs Derby, 20k Vs Ipswich, Exeter etc. It's great to see the growth. Let's hope Sunday is a much better experience than our last Wembley visit, and wets the appetite for another appearance in May!

Absolutely and it’s all good to see, I will add that the pricing has been spot on for this and if we go back again in May the pricing will be totally different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home fan numbers have remained pretty steady at around a decent 17-18k. Only major difference has been the away attendances. The 'boxing day' game Vs Derby got a few more home fans through the gates though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt our crowds and popularity have increased, but just for balance, we know the attendances published are very generous - eg it looked nowhere near 20k v Ipswich, so many empty seats on the highlights. Only mentioning that because its fair to assume the 34k at Wembley is a true figure which makes it even more impressive. Not many will have bought tickets unless they are going to Wembley except maybe the odd £10 kids ticket not being used. Hard to judge the real rise in home crowds since they introduced the £35 kids S/Ts, if we'd had them years ago crowds wouldn't have dropped so much.

We are just a town of piss heads who fancy a day at Wembley after 12 years. There must be loads in club wembley aswell who arent counted in the club sales.

Iirc the article said something about a phone line being in place for those without the Internet. I would guess that means no membership arrangements whatsoever are required.

Unfortunately I still think you need to be a member to purchase: Ticket purchases will still be subject to accounts being valid prior to midnight on Wednesday 15th March and to the maximum of 9 tickets per transaction. https://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/2023/march/wembley-ticket-sales-extension/ A bit disappointing that the club have made it harder than necessary for more fair weather fans to get tickets. Over 34,000 a great effort though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlust Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 My Wembley ticket was £12.50 which is ridiculously cheap - no wonder so many have been sold. I've also committed to shorts and have my hip flask at the ready. I mean who the f*** wants crap lager in a plastic cup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainmed Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I don’t normally use this word but I’m extremely “proud” that we will be taking nearly 35K to Wembley. We have come a long way in the last few years. UTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeversLeftPeg Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 34K is an outstanding effort, I think it's surpassed the majority of guesses that were made on here. People flying in from all over the world for the game, it's going to be a belting day out. I hope the boys do themselves justice and we see them lift that trophy (tinpot or not).
