On this i am 90% sure,that said,working on the logic that season we had 34,000 from an average of 8,500 odd,factor in that more people go now 27,200 odd,then also equate that from a larger pool of current followers one would expect a larger group of non football friends of said followers to wish to attend "i was there and don't want to miss out mentality"
subtract the off putting current price structure of wembley and hard financial climate and would 34,000 still be enough? sorry for waffling.

The figure I remember was 34,000. On the day we did outnumber the Notts County fans by some stretch.
I'm inclined to agree with you. Why spend £150 (dad with two kids including transport, tickets and food etc.) when you can watch it for free on TV if you're not a committed fan?
We didn't sell our full allocation for the Millennium or home to Derby Thursday night, so surprised by some of the bed wetting coming from some (not you!)

As your post is at risk of misinterpretation, are you suggesting that they shouldn't attend matches at all ?

I'm inclined to agree,34,000 should be enough but it would not surprise me if we did somehow take around 40.
Against Wigan that could be a possibility as they'll have plenty of returns.
There's just one slight problem though.......

I think, in whatever season a play-off final occurred, we would probably be able to take more. The AMEX has brought in a new generation of Albion fans and I think the supporter base, both occasional and, as we know, season ticket holders, is much higher.
A really interesting statistic would be the amount of supporters on the clubs computer who have bought at least one ticket to an Albion game at the AMEX. A figure around 50,000 wouldn't shock me.
We deserve 50,000 tickets if we get to Wembley. If.

You really are a sad individual, many of my friends are life long Albion fans but decide that their family is more important to spend their money on than going to football. Does it make them less of a fan? Of course not, going to football is a treat for many people these days due to the high cost of tickets trains etc.

FFS, could this not wait until tonight or tomorrow morning when it would be bloody relevant or not!?
Jeez.

No need for this thread today. It's almost as bad as a banner saying "better luck next year Derby"
