Bet you didnt say that when we took 7k in 99
We took more than 7k, that’s a rugby fed myth. Millwall had 45k behind them.[/quote]
Ok then. 8k.
And regardless how many millwall ‘fans’ were there I bet you still didn’t say it should be at somewhere like Maine Rd that held 30k.[/quote]
Bare in mind it was the old Wembley and the crowd was 56k. It didn’t look bad at all. The atmosphere was decent.
But 41k in the new Wembley yesterday was ridiculous. Even Shrewsbury fans have said the atmosphere was rubbish with 60k empty seats.Lincoln took 30,000 fans yesterday. We couldn’t fill our end for the FA Cup final
Wigan people are pathetic when it comes to supporting our sports teams :sick:Lincoln took 30,000 fans yesterday. We couldn’t fill our end for the FA Cup final
Wigan people are pathetic when it comes to supporting our sports teams :sick:It was Lincolns first ever visit to Wembley, how many times have Wigan folk made the trip to the capital?. Why would fans of either team want to follow the other and expand the crowd just because it is Wembley. Fook me I’m sick of seeing the place because my brilliant club has been on many occasion. I actually preferred the Millennium Stadium tbh coz of the whole weekend shindig. Cardiff is a fabulous place pre match and so close to the ground itself. COYL
Also Lincolns neighbours are Grimsby Scunny Posh and Gainsborough not Utd City Liverpool and Everton. COYL

Wigan people are pathetic when it comes to supporting our sports teams :sick:That’s a load of rubbish. We took great support to Wembley and I don’t recall there being any big gaps. I thought our support was fantastic.
I’ve watched Watsons goal probably a thousand times, and I’ve never noticed empty seats. Just a mass of support.

There were some empty seats near us (top tier right above where the cup was lifted) – not loads but quite a few
If I remember rightly as well, the initial allocation of tickets was 25k to each club. A week or so before the final it was announced that Latics allocation was now 21k or 19k (I forget which) and the balance went to City – that was one of the reasons why the Latics support did not go round the part of the stadium where Maloney took “THE” corner but stopped before it.That said, what was to be expected? – Latics had a home crowd average (not stadium average) that season of somewhere approaching 14k & needed plenty of day trippers to sell our allocation. You’re not going to get that many part timers or one off “supporters” going when the ticket prices are as extortionate as they were. Why would anyone with just a passing interest in Latics be prepared to pay over 100 quid for a ticket like I had to???

Allocation was 32k to each club and we pretty much sold it.
I know loads of non regulars who went…half of Old Skem went, just to support their local club, or with family and friends who go watching Wigan. I bumped into people that day who had gone as a one off. Some relatives too

The maximum allocation for the Final was 25,000 per club – but we went for 21,000 and didn’t sell that out.https://wigan.vitalfootball.co.uk/fa-cup-final-ticket-details-announced/
