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

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.

Middle of a BH weekend
5.30 pm KO
No trains from Swindon
Rip off Wembley prices
3rd time at Wembley in 5 years

Take your pick
Only me going so not a problem but if was taking family would be a no go  No

Even 22k would be a massive improvement on our home attendances so not bothered

Have people not looked at the attendances from our last three seasons in the second tier? They're hardly glowing.

Same stadium, similar turmoil, same fan base.

We averaged 7980 or very similar this season, we'd average over 10 in the league up, probably more.

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.

Similar situation. I said the the Mrs that for the three of us it will be £200 all in. She said that's four meals out in the summer holidays. I can't argue with her, hell £200 will buy a Greek Island!

Maybe you should change your name to Fed and proud.

At the end of the day 99.99% of people who actually go to games, I mean the mundane, everyday games in League 1, will be going to Wembley. The fact that there looks to be a decline in casual day trippers shouldn't really bother anyone. If (and it's a fucking big if) we do get promotion, the hoped for increase in attendance will come from the 20,000+ that will be there, not the 10,000 odd that won't.

Wembley used to be a once in a lifetime for many clubs but the play offs mean it comes around more regularly and for most teams. Even if you go out of the league you've got a chance like Grimsby. As a lifetime experience it has been devalued by the prices haven't. Play offs at Wembley were a cynical fan exploitation tool that is running out of steam. Looking at the semi final attendance's show fans are getting fucked off with it.
