Lostock Whites Posted May 8 Posted May 8 (edited) 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! Edited May 8 by Lostock Whites Quote
Ani Posted May 8 Posted May 8 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. Quote
waffer cup 07 Posted May 8 Posted May 8 25k, a crowd that all but i club in Div 1 can only dream about, including the champions. Quote
Popeye doyle Posted May 8 Posted May 8 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. 🙏 Quote

Couldn’t get there last night but me and the lad are going to Wembley. I think there will be many similar. Quote
Lostock Whites Posted May 8 Posted May 8 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 Quote

Would love same seats in the corner of the lower tier Quote

boltonboris Posted May 8 Posted May 8 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 Quote

dave2980 Posted May 8 Posted May 8 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! Quote

Eddie Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Pretty sure we were in 118 for the pizza final, category 4 and brilliant tickets. Will probably aim for the same again Quote
radcliffe white Posted May 8 Posted May 8 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 Quote

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. Quote

L/H White Posted May 8 Posted May 8 just a hunch, I reckon the club might lay on free travel for this Quote
CJG Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Tickets block 111 was £36 for Pizza trophy. At least £52 this year Quote

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. Quote
Whitestar Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Digs booked after away leg for the Saturday night. Steady trip down early Saturday should be supping by 11:00 👍 Quote
