    We would take more than 17k to Wembley
    The times I've been previously we took
    Ipswich 2000 30k
    Cardiff 2008 35k
    Oxford 2016 23k
    Millwall 2016 25k

    Be shocked if we didn't take 25k minimum..nothing suggests we would take 17k

    I for one would love to see us sell our allocation, we did'nt sell our allocation last time, and people are a lot worse off now, i'm going, i booked way back in Feb, i've always known we'd av been there or there abouts, an the thing is, its a weekend away in the Capital cant be a bad thing, hopefully we'll be there, but its still a 50 /50, an Bolton will want it as much as us. Not going friday, but i'd like to wish all you lovely people a great day, enjoy.

    I'm sure I read somewhere at the time that we were the first of the four Semi-Finalists to sell out our allocation.

    Im pretty sure we took less to to the play off finial in 2016 than we did to the JPT final. We also took 22k to Millennium stadium in 2006 didn't we?

    Well there will be 14500 home fans Friday night we sold out 3 days before. So I hope we could muster more that another 2500 for a final at Wembley. And history suggests we would.

    I agree, but i also think Khaled and the owners have to sort it, so this thing doesn't happen again even if it means building a fence down the middle

    It doesn't need a fence. It needs better stewards and to somehow stand up against the safety advisory group who are imposing ridiculously heavy handed on the club because one person with power in that group is "scared of any risk at all" and "would rather nobody goes to football than him get prosecuted if there is another Hillsborough".

    My issue here is that someone so absolutely risk averse who darent turn his boiler on at home in case he gets carbon monoxide poisoning shouldn't be in a position to make these decisions because they are not competent to make reasoned decisions

    Yes let’s shut out potential fans to prove a point. Great plan.

    Why does it matter how many or how few games they went to? If they want to go they should be able to.

    This is such a daft argument. Are you saying let's just stick with the 10-11k we've got and watch it dwindle as folk die off? Where do you think new supporters come from?? If there's 4k that turn up for a 'big' game having not been all season, then it only needs a few of those to enjoy it and decide to come again and you're up on the deal.

    Clubs with large crowds didn't just conjure them up from nowt!

    We didn't have anywhere near 35k at Cardiff did we? I thought it was around 23k?

    Genuine question, if we had lost 3-0 at Bolton would we have had all these potential extra fans clamouring for tickets?
