CarpyCov84 · Jan 17, 2013

Any ideas what we would get if we get there just looked up when Southampton were there 45,000 they took ??

covcity4life · Jan 17, 2013

if they got 45 we should get similar?

say 40k ball park

CarpyCov84 · Jan 17, 2013

Shouldn't be too hard to get tickets i think if so

covcity4life · Jan 17, 2013

yeh hopefully

would be great if we could take 45k..out sing opposition on a sunny day and win comfortably!

RoboCCFC90 · Jan 17, 2013

I would like to think that we can take that many fans to Wembley but not sure : /

sky_blue_up_north · Jan 17, 2013

If we get to the final, I don't think there will be any problems with getting tickets. You get far more for the JPT than any othe competition.

CarpyCov84 · Jan 17, 2013

Ill be there for sure was 4 when we got there in 87 would be a great day out.Im pretty sure we would vertically take all allocation even at 40k

Last year initial allocations were 36000 Swindon and 21000 Chesterfield so if we make it we would probably get at least 45000 that Southampton got seeing as the other two clubs in the southern section have much smaller fan bases.

elephanttears · Jan 17, 2013

Does anyone know what hotels are good to stay in near wembley, cant be arsed with the crewe game saving my money for wembley.

ampthill_sba · Jan 17, 2013

Do you think that they'll allow each ST holder to buy 2 per ST given the numbers available?

derbyskyblue · Jan 17, 2013

Lets not talk our selves down lads, we could shift 60k easily.
Anyone one go to the charity shield match against everton? The highest gate ever for one of those......70% city.
Going back now and i'm sure you younger fans will find this hard to believe but at one time we was the 5th best supported club, average gate 38000 ! PUSB

60k is a little too far, it's only the JPT!

I take it your one of the younger ones then, and your right it is only the paint pot......but........

SunZoomSpark · Jan 18, 2013

Haven't even seen Coventry City play a Premier League game yet!

It is only the JPT, great opportunity to go to Wembley following 'your team', but I doubt we have 60k fans (at all), especially those who are willing to pay mega prices and to watch a mediocre game of football (for premier league prices!) 40k is my prediction. 35k absolute minimum.

SunZoomSpark · Jan 18, 2013

anyone who has the thought process....shall i go and see City at Wembley, could be a mediocre game of football?...should probably get advice from their carer

Cv3cov · Jan 18, 2013

A few years ago a Birmingham City fan wrote to the Daily Telegraph asking if their support at Wembley in I think a play off final, of 50,000 was the largest support any team had taken to there. The reply came back: No it may surprise you to hear that those 'perenial strugglers' Coventry City took 55,000 out of a crowd of 80,000 to the Charity Shield game! In 87 so without counting our chickens IF we get there could we break OUR own record!

Baginton · Jan 18, 2013

44k max due to health and saftey reasons.

Macca · Jan 18, 2013

Absolute dreamers, 1987 was a different era. Really can t see thousands of people wanting to go and watch us play southend or orient. There's more going on in life these days

hmmmm......... what ever it is, I'll have one of them to drink too

Dan Griffin · Jan 18, 2013

I thought we only had about 10,000 fans?? Where are these 30/40,000 coming from in all seriousness I just hope we sell out initial allocation

LastGarrison · Jan 18, 2013

Think we'd shift 35/40k quite comfortably.

Every man and his dog would be out for this one. A few of my lot who ain't been up in 10 years have already said they would be there.

Astute · Jan 18, 2013

It doesn't matter if it the playoffs or tinpot. A lot of our fans have never seen us play at Wembley. Most of them will want to go. Most STH's will want to go. The glory supporters will be there People like myself that live a long way away will want to be there. Fans that live abroad will want to be there.

The last time I saw us at wembley was 25 years ago. If we make it this year it could easily be another 25 years or more for the next visit. Not something that happens frequently for us. If we do well in the league as well as the tinpot I can see us selling whatever we get.

yep there's always one with a different view rather than a sheep.

I'll be there but will there be as many interested as a showpiece FA Cup Final in 1987.

Times have moved on in a quarter of a century

skybluelee · Jan 18, 2013

Macca - as times have moved on and nobody cares - how many will be at the crewe game? 10,000-15,000?

The thing is Macca in those 25 years we have gone from being a top flight club playing the top teams year in year out, to a 3rd division side who have had little or nothing to shout about.

Personally, I never got to see us play at Wembley (Damn you Old Man!!!) and it really is a dream to see us play there. For me, and many others, to see Cov at Wembley really would be the pinnacle regardless of what cup it is and who it is against.

I think you are underestimating slightly just how many people would go to this game. If you think 11.5k went to Old Trafford in midweek to watch us in the Carling Cup I can certainly see triple that going to Wembley on a Saturday to see us in with a chance of actually winning something!!

Macca · Jan 18, 2013

I ve not said that no one cares. I just think that the amount of hangers on CCFC wise has decreased over the years. If it was a big showpiece cup final it might be different. Don t get me wrong we will take plenty but I reckon it would be closer to 25K
