If Oxford get through be like reading 95 whole town will go 

Train I'd get if we get there goes through Peterborough, so would probably prefer Oxford!

Question: given the two teams in the other semi, would folk rather play a final at say Villa Park rather than Wembley?

Peterborough/Oxford are unlikely to fill a half, and neither are we nor Barnsley, though we may come close. 

Wembley

and we would fall way short this time totally different to Pizza final

Not like you to predict a poor turn out 🤣

Got it a bit wrong last time too!

Don't know how many would be sold- price would play a part maybe- but this has a bigger "prize" at the end of it.

I knew you wouldn’t let it go😀

different beast this short turnaround for tickets & travel compared to 6 weeks or so for pizza and also more expensive 

i will go with previous finals as a marker

Time is a factor for sure, and as you say, so is cost.

Just have a feeling that if we were to get there, given our surprisingly decent crowds this season, that we would have a decent turnout. 

Not going to take 40k like, hence my question about a half-way ground, but decent nonetheless.

When Oxford played Coventry in the equivalent pizza cup they took 30k like I said further up be like reading 95 outnumbered if we was to play them

It was Wembley centenary last season and we were there.

As we had a lost season with covid, this is the adjusted centenary! 😁

Need to be there again. 

Need to borrow that injured white horse now it's been patched up.

Fuck that 

Villa only holds 42k 

Some teams could fill it on their own 

Big games deserve big venues, for the players and fans

Apparently they took 33k to the conference play final in 2010

I was living in Oxford at the time and still live in Oxfordshire. They did indeed take that number. The vast majority have never been since and never went before. But it's a short train journey - direct from Oxford on Chiltern Trains. Easy peasy for them to take a big following.
