Play Off Attendance

Did you expect any different?

 

I think around 28K - 30K is probably about right, especially after recent home attendances.

 

It's a long way from Carlisle,their coaches are leaving at 04-30.Some of their supporters were talking of taking over 20-000,but I think that's a bit optimistic.I would expect Stockport to take around 15.000.

 

It's more than we're taking

 

Absolutely pathetic from both clubs.

City sold more tickets to home fans at Valley Parade for the semifinal!!

 

Bradford population 530,000
Carlisle population 100,000
Stockport population 290,000 (added factor of being in Manchester)

Our population is more than both of theirs combined. 1:30 kick off in London at on a bank holiday weekend with 1 weeks notice. It's impossible to get to Wembley by train from Carlisle and only 1 train available from Manchester which doesn't get into London until nearly 12 so car or coach are the only available options. Both clubs have had issues sourcing coaches at late notice. Prices of trains and hotels the day before and/or after are massive so doing an overnight stay isn't really an option unless you want to spend big.

 

Give it a rest. You've been spouting the same crap on twitter.

 

Whats this big fetish with attendances?

If you look at the finals including this one of the last 7 this gate will be in the middle. 2 were higher (one involved Coventry on one of their first trips since 1987) two were during Covid, however Morecambe would have taken few more, and two didn't hit 25k.

But who cares? They are taking more than we are.

 

We are not in a position to judge

 

Rare disagreement, Dave.

We're not in a position to judge the club's successes, but we're certainly in a position to note that had we get to Wembley, the occasion would have been massive for a L2 play off final.

We'd be in the rare position where football's money men would have coveted - rather than shunned - us.

 

Shit support, just seen it, based on our average attendance this year we would take 35 - 40,000

 

They're both taking 15,000 more than we are and they're the only numbers that matter

 

It is great for the club and players to take maximum fans to wherever you are playing but in the end what does it matter to the result. We have had record number of fans but it hasn’t made any difference. Great atmosphere and spectacle but we are still playing in lg2 next season.

 

We wouldn't. We would probably have took about 25k.
1 week turnaround, early afternoon kick off on a Sunday.

 

Ive seen him on Twitter. Humiliated to support the same club at times.

 

We only took around 25k against Millwall in 2017. So 35k-40k is almost impossible.

 

There are few things more tedious in football than attendence w*nking

 

Crap that’s actually true!!!
