Wembley - nearly 21,000 tickets sold

Re: Wembley - nearly 21,000 tickets sold
not really an issue as Brisbane Road capacity nowhere near 21k, so immaterial if they are glory hunters or not.
Who can tell?

Fylde won't have much support because they don't have many supporters.

If it was say 8,000 going to Cardiff for a play off final, then I would expect less for the FA Trophy final in say Manchester. My point (long lost) was that I don't think Fylde will have much support because of the distance.Esteban wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 6:58 pmWhat about all the displaced Orient supporters who can't normally make it to London on a Saturday? They would far outnumber the amount of the 4,000 London/Essex based hardcore who wouldn't make the trip.RientO wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 6:44 pm
I would say there is a hard core of around 4,000 home supporters, but of those some wouldn't be that committed. You can add in a few day trippers who wouldn't ordinarily go who might fancy going to Old Trafford, but with it being a Sunday and not a Holiday weekend, I think 3,000. But we will never know.

I reckon if they held the Trophy final in Manchester or Liverpool, they would more than double their support. Half the town would turn up (Fylde population 78,863). Well the female half :-)

We took about 10,000 to the Millennium Stadium in 2001 - total attendance that day was 23,600 and a Blackpool Gazette report says they took 13,000 fans.

Thers's a Vase match apparently.A workmate said he's going and watching the Vase beforehand and then Orient even though he doesn't support Orient.

Re: Wembley - nearly 21,000 tickets sold
When I was a young man about town, I would usually be doing other things on a Saturday afternoon than standing in the rain, watching a 0-2 defeat against Rochdale. So I only went 4/5 times a season. I imagine most of the 21k are the same to a greater or lesser extent. Others will just fancy a jolly to Wembley with their mates.
Of course now I'm old and have nothing better to do, I have a season ticket.

Re: Wembley - nearly 21,000 tickets sold
Fylde isn't a town though - it's a district, which includes Lytham St Anne's, where the majority of these 78k people live. Most of the football supporters there (either casual or serious) would support Blackpool (or Manchester United etc), which is also quite likely true of all the places in the district of Fylde (e.g. Wesham, where Fylde AFC is based, population: 3,245).
I think you're right that they'd double (or nearly double) the number if it was held in Manc or Lpool, but it still wouldn't be very many
