  • Might be an idea to let's just watch a football match without all this attention seeking bumcbuffery.

Few folks have pointed it out how many we will be taking, will be interesting to see.

The support over the past year especially has been monumental and has had a much higher ceiling than more recent years.

We took 35,000+ last year, however we had a full month to get tickets, this time it's just a week and a half. 

Personally feel we won't hit the same as last year but I'm sure we will still be backed by a big following. Let's see what happens!

We had under 25k there last night, be surprised if we get many more for final, but I was surprised by numbers we took last year.

25k, a crowd that all but i club in Div 1 can only dream about, including the champions.

We’ve been in 4 playoff finals, won 2, lost 2. I went to the two we lost and didn’t go to the two we won. 
 

I’m going to this one. 🙏

Couldn’t get there last night but me and the lad are going to Wembley. I think there will be many similar.

25,000 on still a Tuesday night, (I wasn't there as I was away) plus we know all the day trippers that will turn up for weekend Wembley trip.

30,000+ minimum I reckon

I’m on won one, lost one

Would like to think we’d get near to 30,000

Anyone got a map for the categories from Papa John’s? Would love same seats in the corner of the lower tier

With last year's pricing.

Looking like a £10 increase per ticket / category on last season. We were in Cat 5 last year, just inside the corner the sun was blazing on, a few rows before the cat 4 seats. Were £40 last season and will be £50 this time I believe

 

Dear day out for 2 adults and 2 kids with Shamrock coaches on top of that, but couldn't think of a better way to spend my readies

Between 25k-30k would be a decent turnout 

I've never seen us win at Wembley! My only play off win was at Cardiff in 2001.

In 95 I was on a school trip to Spain so missed it. 

Last year I was in the middle of moving house so couldn't go to the pizza final even though I had free tickets - I gave them to my cousin. 

Hoping to break my Wembley duck this time!

Aye 

A dear do but with the possibility of creating lifelong memories

Erm....can I make a suggestion? :)

Pretty sure we were in 118 for the pizza final, category 4 and brilliant tickets.

Will probably aim for the same again 

Looking at 27k imo

turn around time is shite and speaking to my mate who runs pub coaches getting hold of them is hard

it goes in line with previous play off final turnouts

Fair point, I could not do last night or the final , but our group last night was 5 and there are 6 with train tickets booked for final. 
 

Just think cost will be an issue, £50 for a coach and tickets for a family of four is going to be £300 plus.

Had a full month to sort travel etc out last year. 10 days this time to sort everything out is a big ask for a lot of folk.

Think it was just over maybe 5/6 weeks

The club are looking at a football special apparently

Same here

Watford and Preston 

Missed Reading as was at uni at the time and had an exam the morning after 

Thought if I went I'd get pissed whatever the result and that wouldn't be good prep for the exam 

Got pissed watching it anyway and caused a bit of a scene in a pub in Leicester 

just a hunch, I reckon the club might lay on free travel for this 

Tickets block 111 was £36 for Pizza trophy. At least £52 this year

But if you fancy it, you can surely sort travel out in a day? I suppose the point is that for the 25k that will go regardless, 10 days or a month doesn’t make any difference, but for the 5-6k who aren’t as guaranteed, it might make a difference and they just won’t get round to it.

We only had 1 there last night for various reasons but already have 4 train tickets booked.

My guess would be 29k, with the difference to the pizza final being a combination of extra cost, less time and loss of novelty factor impacting those floating fans.

Digs booked after away leg for the Saturday night.

Steady trip down early Saturday should be supping by 11:00 👍
