    RE: Will we sell the 33,000 then?.............how things are stacking up........we have a problem

    We may be able to sell the whole 90,000

    EXAMPLE.............we are 3 seats on average.............we are taking 13
    A guy I know is 2 seats on average.........................he is taking 24

    Everybody I know is looking round for extra STs so they can get extra tickets in an attempt to have all their group sat together in one place

    We have 3 ST's and all tickets went straight away. Everyone at school is desperate to go.

    Let me put a few minds at rest................

    We had a few worries about Wembley when we played Ipswich
    We had a few worries about Cardiff when we played Swansea

    All the worries were about....................can we sell the tickett allocation ????????

    Lets just say this...............there hasn't been a better turnout and presentation than when Barnsley were at the old Wembley, all tickets sold, fantastic atmosphere, second to none support............and I've been there before with other teams
    You aint seen NOWT like it

    AND

    We didn't sell all our allocation at Cardiff, there was only 22 to 24 thousand of us...............BUT
    It was only a 1st division playoff..............so not that important really.........it was miles and miles away from home..........and it was in the backyard of the team we were playing against - Swansea......................BUT BUT BUT..................all the people that went to that final will tell you we out supported the team (Swansea) that live just down the road

    Both times we were....................extraordinary (england) (england) (england)

    Quite a few rows at back behind nets. I`d guess between 1000 and 1500 empty.

    I asked the people in the ticket office .......before Wembley

    They said that they had sold out and the only tickets in the Barnsley end were those that were crap and classed as un-sellable
    I checked this out when I got there and I could see what they meant
    To me there was a strip right at the top which was a very poor view...............it was difficult to see the number because of all the flags being waved but I would say less than 200......could have been wrong, it may have been more than this but it was very very difficult to see any empty seats
    Without continually looking for them you couldn't see any

    Young Nudger lad.....

    I agree with what you're saying....... If a gentleman of Sir Robert Peels' order tells me summat then buggar me if the evidence is other then, arf!.... But; seriously, the arresting officer said that, in his words: " Your lot sold roughly around 35,000 tickets, and Ipswich did the same".
