No, but it's been so long since I've been on a coach it might as well be. Not arsed anyway. I'm driving to and from the Toughsheet. 🤦‍♂️ 

Although I can see this plan changing and having to get a lift to pick my car up on Sunday. We'll see.

Over 26k is fantastic. 

I’m led to believe that is just ones sold by the ticket office.

This doesn’t include sponsors/efl/non BWFC corporate. So if that other half of 2nd tier, that we sold out last year, is full this year with wanderers corporate fans, you can add another couple of thousand to that total. 

So more like 28/29, which would match up with the map. There’s only a few more blocks to open, which is another 5/6k to get us to last years numbers.

I think we could get past 30k in total

Superb effort. Let’s hope we do the business 

[Lostock Whites]

Also worth noting that the 26k announced was a figure earlier in the morning, prior to most of the general sales that have taken place today.

Will easily hit 30,000+, fair play lads and lasses.

Shitting it now for Saturday

I find it amazing clubs like Oxford who get poor home support and travel in small numbers still manage to pull people from all over out for a final. 

What do these southern types do every other saturday? There surely aren't that many coffee shops in Bicester Outlet Mall

Maybe it's because it's a posh university town where folk go to live for 3 or 4 years, get a fondness for the club and then move on to fancy jobs in that London?

Oxford's a shithole. I wanna go home.  🎶

My lad went as a White, lived there 4 years, got a fancy job in London and is a …….White.

After last year against Plymouth it won't worry me the slightest if Oxford gets a couple thousand more than us.

30,000 Wanderers fans will be 2x as loud as say 35,000 Oxford.

We get 20k week in week out, them 8,000. They will have a much larger amount of families coming out for the day than us.

Regardless of this it looks we are selling very well and still sold more than them as it stands, we're only a couple blocks away from last year's end line.

aye, got a mate who lives in Oxfordshire, he's a Spurs fan but he takes his lads to a couple of games a season and he has the shirts etc

he'd have gone to this but he's on a lads golfing weekend in Portugal so his lads are gutted

[Traf]

How many days is it until the game, I'm sure the Barnsley game was about 3 months ago now.

 

[Popeye doyle]

If you look how close Wembley is to Oxford, you could spit on it.

if they ever build a Wembley north, which seems to be what Manu U are trying to do, then we could start pushing 40k for that venue. Negligible transport costs and eat at home before the match. Just match tickets to pay for.

[MickyD]

Wonder if the Oxford Massive will try to mock by singing, “Is that all you bring away? Is that all you bring a-way?” (To the tune Cwm Rhondda)

With every one of them claiming they, their wife and kids and grandparents within their party are all part of the 7-8k Oxford home crowd every other week!

Yeah I meant apart from those 4 visits in the past 8 years OBVIOUSLY 😁😁😁

Maybe one of the 3 doesn't count in this context as their fans weren't present for the 2020 play off v Wycombe!

Everyone wearing white then?

Attendance, kit colours etc are irrelevant.

The only thing that matters is getting one goal more than Oxford.

Wanderlust is only asking as I had a quick look on the Oxford forum yesterday and he's on there chatting away and wearing Yellow seems to be the biggest discussion point for them.

[Ani]

In terms of attendances the only stat that matters is who has the most there 5 minutes after the final whistle.

Has he not got a Mrs. ?

Or even a friend, with or without benefits ?

Kids aren't just for telling off.
