If we can't get fans interested in a one off game for promotion it shows the limit of support should we get to the championship
In many ways I do agree but there are a lot of things this weekend that count against us such as train travel not being available from Swindon as I am sure that for the JPT we had many thousand (5k+) day trippers travelled up on the train.
There is also a lot of apathy about "new" Wembley after our last 2 visits.
Cost of tickets/food/drink, lack ease of travel for this game.
Most of our fans genuinely thinking that we have almost zero chance of winning, especially after Mondays game (which I thought was a fantastic advert for L1 if not for defending)
The stupid kick off time (pandering to Sky).
Saying that its still no excuses, when I was a young lad/adult I could only dream about going to Wembley and reliving the 1969 LC win which was drummed in me from a young age by my Town supporting family. Then when I was 23 we got there and that made me crave going back for more.
I missed the play off with 'wall due to a family wedding but I won't miss us going there again, for all its cost and faults its still Wembley and for football fans thats the Mecca and many teams will never get to Wembley and never have been.
I am determined to enjoy the day no matter what result as for me this season has been a massive bonus culminating in a trip to Wembley....they don't get a lot better than that.
If we get promoted I think our average will rise from 7k to between 7.5k and 8k. Teams like Leeds etc attract numbers. If we stay up it can only go up. Slow and steady wins the race... I guess. Good old optimism.
The Wembley game isn't going to sell out due to the travel issues, the pricing in this economy and our form in the lead up to it.
If we go up we will comfortably get a season average to over 10k, in the main due to the much higher away followings.
