Blackpool's average crowd is around 1300 more than that of Peterborough. 

They're not that massive.

I reckon if Brighton u 21s got there, then they would readily sell their allocation. They're a well supported club.

I know they are not massive, but playing Bolton in any final, Blackpool would have as many as we would there.  Cant see Brighton beating any of Peterbro or Wycombe.

I suspect the PJT bosses/authorities will want to see a Bolton v Blackpool final, which looks the most attractive on paper, and the obvious history. Im pretty sure they wont want any off the Southern quartet, Peterbro, Wycombe, Wimbledon or Brighton under 21s, which none are remotely well supported. It could well happen.

The competition hit jackpot last season with nearly 80k

Brighton will get knocked out next round

But yes Bolton v Blackpool or Bradford

Bradford average 17,000 at home, lots more than virtually every team left in the trophy. 

reckon bradford would be the top answer on pointless for teams to have played in the premier league?

Barnsley Oldham and Swindon might push them. Bradford stayed up and did 2 seasons.  My company were a main sponsor, could not give the tickets away most weeks.

Is it not regional anymore where the final is always a northern team v a southern team???

Used to be?

It did used to be, although more often than not it seems to be North vs South. 


Couple of exceptions like Sunderland v Tranmere 2021
