I don't think it's something they can promise really. There's an order to selling tickets,
ST holders, members, JSB, match package holders. Suppose they can't garuntee how many we will get or how many these groups will sell. If they make promises to Morecambe stub holders and run out before it gets that far. Or worse still they jump the que for tickets ahead of members or match package holders there would rightly so be uproar.

I was thinking that they sell the tickets in the normal order - season ticket holders first etc, but then add an extra stage, so that immediately before general sale they give one or two days priority to those with Morecambe tickets. The final isn't until Bank Holiday Monday so there should be time.

No promises, no guarantees, but an increased chance of a ticket - and with us likely to get 40,000+ tickets for Wembley (still going to keep saying, IF we get there - not tempting fate!), a pretty good chance.

If it put an extra 5k on the gate, that'd be £100k extra revenue.

Yeah, but that would be a new F-type Jag for Joy and Tim.

12,000 to 13,000

Usual 8k plus 500 from Morecambe plus a bonus 4K City fans

Hope I’m wrong and it’s 32,000!

I think you may be close to the mark 'matesx' - Morecambe have been getting crowds of 900 lately (including small away following) so can't see more than 500 of them (if that).

Top bloke - he's even forgiven me for persuading him to buy a season ticket last season (weighed heavily on my conscience did that!)

None of your ticket money goes to wasps. Just don’t buy anything in the ground and they gain nothing.

It just feels dirty somehow.
I loathe Timmy, Joy and Sisu so much that I wouldn't spit on them if they were up to their necks in the fires of hell.
But I really don't like W*sps.

Everyone who wants a ticket for Wembley will get one. We won't sell 40k in 10 days.

Have to remember last year we had 7 weeks between semi and final.

Whole different ball game.

I can't stand the cuckoos in the nest but I don't really know how you can claim to be a city fan if you're skipping this game because of who owns our stadium.

It would be more sensible of the club to incentivise the Morecambe game than give too many tickets to ST holders again. That really does often mean tickets getting into the hands of people who aren't even normally fans.

As someone has already pointed out we implode everytime we play in front of a big crowd at the Ricoh, so if there is a big demand for tickets could the club consider moving it to Wembley where we have a very good 66.33% win rate, or if that's not possible please could every floating fan try not to attend and just let the mainstays attend as we can play perfectly well in front of 8-10,000 crowds

Wonder if it's worth shifting the Morecambe fans into the corner by the main stand so we can have some home fans behind the goal for this one and for any consequent play-off game. Just as a one-off (or two off in this case).

Or just shift them over and have behind the goal empty. Just don't give them any encouragement.

I actually had a Lee Burge nightmare dream last night, totally honest, it was last minute at Wembley against Notts of County and he came for a ball only an insane lunatic would come for, missing it by 5 metres letting in their striker to calmly tap it in for the winner.
My dream could have gone on for another half hour and into extra time which would have included a wonderful late winner from McNulty but Burge's blunder fucked that up.

it's 66.66% not 66.33% - and I feel cheap and dirty for pointing it out ! Claim a pint from me at any home game of your choosing (I still owe Otis one!)

I genuinely think that some people will be blaming Burge for that mistake

thats good if Morecambe on laying on free travel, the more of them there the better for me, get a bit of atmosphere and banter going. That said, I'm still in the camp that says if we can't beat them we don't deserve to go up, perhaps a tad harsh but there you go. I reckon circa 12,500 but would love a really big crowd. I would expect at least 20k for our home play off game.

The more the better IMO, but if I’m honest I can’t see it topping 13.000.
Would love to be wrong though.

Think it might be if it's hyped enough and the weather is set to be nice too.
