Last year we sold about 20,000 of our 31,000 allocation. That’s not a bad turnout for the time and place.
Millwall sold all their tickets – their fans could get there by Tube and be home in time for tea.
The club & FA never revealed how many tickets they’d sold for the semi-final but if you think how full the same areas were for the final when Latics took an initial allocation of 21,000 (allegedly took some of the other 4,0000 they had an option on) as opposed to how empty they were for the semi-final, I don’t think that there was anywhere near 20k Latics fans there for the Millwall game.
Not that it matters coz I was there & no doubt virtually everyone on here was there but looking at last year’s semi-final & how many were shifted for the final I think we’ll take somewhere between 15k-20k to the Arsenal game[/quote]
Hopefully 20k minimum.
Last year quite a few people were put off going by it being Millwall and confidence that we would get to the final.
20k is pretty respectable though, given the KO time and travelling distance. How many will not travel because it’s on ITV this year :ohmy:
Quite a few Millwall fans last year admitted they wouldn’t have sold 31k had it been at Old Trafford…we might well have done!
