Unan Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I definitely do not think we will make it (there’s a small small possibility) but if we did, how many could we take to Wembley (excluding the fact we will only get about 40k)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 We'd sell our allocation given we were able to for the JPT, there are enough casual fans, exiles and day trippers who would come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, BessexRED said: If it happens we'll (realistically) be playing one of Leeds, Blades, West Brom, Villa, Preston, Wednesday, Boro or Forest all of whom would sell their 39k so it'd be 39k tops for us which would be gone within an hour of general sale much like Hull was.

Ska Junkie Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Whatever we would get, we would sell but the question was how many COULD we sell. Hypothetically, I reckon we could sell 50K+ (hi gasheads) , especially for a place in the big league but we will sell whatever we would be given if we make it, I have no doubt at all.

The play off final between them and Swindon in 2015 had an attendance of 48000, means they'd have taken under 20k probably.

winsaw Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Simple answer this one will be between 35-40 k depending on how many seats the sponsor take, who ever we play if we make it will take there full allocation as well so will not be like in the past when we have been able to get some unsold tickets from the other side, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodjias Wrist Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 The current teams sitting 3rd - 6th would sell their allocation out at Wembley so should be a 'sell out'.
