Around 90,000 possibly more for league 1

[1879]

I'm not normally one to start threads about how great our fanbase is but it really annoys me that it doesn't get the national recognition it deserves

There's only a handful of clubs who would get the support we do. Could you imagine if Leeds, wolves Newcastle, Everton averaged 32000 after 4 seasons in league 1 and got 45000 for a league 1 play off and then took 45000 to London.

It would be all over the media

Well Leeds and Man City didn’t manage to continue pulling in what we have since being down here.

The mags wouldn’t do it either, they folded like a pack of cards under Ashley despite being a lower half PL / top of the championship side.

Will our ticket sales be the largest attendance by a single team for a competitive match (other than International games)? Presumably more often than not the split will be close to 50/50?

When did we play at the very highest level? I must have missed the champions league nights at the SoL

Me too, bastard.

 

[KM92]

Did we not exceed this with Charlton, or did they not sell out?

76,155 for Charlton game.
85, 021 for Pompey game.

 

[Watmore can I say]

When have we been challenging for the league title on a regular basis or Europe? Must have completely missed that.

The SoL was correctly extended to meet the demand under Reid’s 7th place finishes. Unfortunately it fell to shit on the pitch.

Let's not forget we were regularly handing out 5000 free tickets, an inconsiderate truth. I'd say our support now is on a much higher level which is bizarre after the shite we've endured. The support is actually becoming more ardent in adversity, true support not glory seekers.

Any spare Wycombe tickets should come to us ffs

Thus isn't about spare tickets it's about our unconditional incredible fanbase

Despite being around in those years i never ever had a free ticket come my way, don’t know anybody that did either. Good luck to those that got them though.

During what period? And anything substantial to back that up??

Funny thing is, all the years of attending and paying for season cards I’ve never had tickets just handed to me for nothing.

If 5k have been floating about must have been unlucky?!

Loads given out to the schools when Murray was trying to compete with the Mags, more so after the 7th placed finishes.

 

[gipetto]

I think even our own fans underestimate how big our support is. If we had a team like Man City's it would be mental.

 

[woodlebert]

The record attendance for a League One Play-off final at Wembley was the 1999 final, when Manchester City played Gillingham and the attendance stood at 76,935.

Not sure we’ll get there. Capping our tickets means we won’t, Shirley?

I think you are massive over stating the amount. But also every single club with a big ground gives free tickets to schools and shit.

Absolute cracking match too. Back when City were a lot more like us.

Didn’t sell out. South East Upper was pretty empty iirc

So in 00-01 season we averaged just under 47k are you saying 5k of that was free tickets for school?

Having just left school in South Tyneside, me and my mates all had season cards. In fact can’t name one person I knew who got a free ticket??

 

[SAFCOldie]

The very positive thing for me is the vast majority of folk have moved on from the covids.It was only a few months back masks, covid passes and the threat of another lockdown etc, a whole group of youngsters totally missed out for a year or so. We are back on track, it's great to see.

 

[Useful_Idiot]

If us and Wednesday were in the final it would beat that City/Gills record.

Same area, same time. Neither seen these free tickets, just our luck eh?
