To be fair I don;t think distance matters too much with these occasions. If the final was at Old Trafford i'd travel up there to watch us in a final and i'm sure many others would too. Loads of fans want to see their team on the big stage. Distance isn't really factored in.

Yes it is....if it was up North Chesterfield would probably sell 5000 more....and maybe us 5000 less. |

Chesterfield -> Wembley Stadium Distance: 119.1 miles Time: 2 hr 17 mins
Swindon -> Wembley Stadium: 79.2 miles Time: 1 hr 48 min
Not a massive difference, 1/2 hour.
Chesterfield -> Old Trafford 80.2 miles Time: 1 hr 35 min
Whereas:
Swindon -> Old Trafford 160.6 miles Time: 3 hr 10 min
All give and take, based on AA Route planner.

What's Chesterfields average attendance? Wanking over the fact we've got loads of people who can't be bothered going to a home game, but are up for a trip to wembly is pretty fucking stupid.

I think hertha only grumbles at our "extras" but probably doesn't consider every single other club would be just the same on a Wembley visit. Bigger clubs have more extras/armchair fans.

Of course every club has got extras who will turn up for a Wembley appearance, that's pretty much my point. The OP having a dig at Chesterfield because they've got less "Extras" than us is pretty pathetic, in fact the whole "Our club's bigger because it's got more fans" argument is cringeworthy.
That would make Bradford the biggest team in League 2.

Sorry misunderstood you herthab. Yeah agree, the op got shouted down pretty quickly.
I am happy that we have more going though in the hope it makes the chesterfield team more intimidated. Probably not.

I like traditionally small clubs (except Oxford) where fans support their local side, all credit to them.
