Wembley tickets

[It'sGrimUpNorth]

Where will we all be dropped off on the coaches?

If the NL had their way, Grimsby!

Can’t help but think that Tottenham's white hart lane would have been a perfect venue, the capacity is spot on and would look super full.
I know Wembley has the prestige and history but I think much better atmosphere would be had at Tottenham. Oh well

I do wonder how much the carrot of playing at Wembley spurred the players on in the previous games

As soon as a decision is made for it not to be Wembley, then a Stadium midway between the two clubs should be selected.

I try to go to at least one of the London NFL games per year and always prioritise the games at Spurs because it's just a much much nicer experience than Wembley is.

Liverpool street. You've got to travel the rest by train



I'd imagine the coach parking at Wembley

That's definitely the flip side.

Can you imagine the Zone if we lose. Doesn't bear thinking about.

Would be quite nice to know certain posters are still alive though.

I've missed some of the doom brigade since we made the playoffs

Can I just check that Tom Lawrence's middle name isn't Frank or Fred or similar, because if it is, we need to make it very clear that when we're slagging off TFL, it's not him we're talking about!

As soon as a decision is made for it not to be Wembley, then a Stadium midway between the two clubs should be selected.

The largest stadium anywhere near midway between Oldham and Southend would be Villa Park but that only has 42,640 capacity at present, so less than is currently being made available at Wembley. You have to go to Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Cardiff or London to find grounds that hold 50,000+.

Thought I’d throw this into the mix. Probably even picked up before. First I’ve seen of it. Second sentence.

‘Promotion to League Two has huge financial benefits for clubs as they are then able to earn basic prize money from the EFL. They also receive a solidarity payment from the Premier League which is worth approximately £1m’

Yep. I believe Tom Lawrence said promotion back to the EFL is worth over £2m overall. That's not even including increased revenue through gate receipts (Which would go through the roof) and everything else either. It's massive for us financially.

Which teams would have a decent away following though? Colchester May muster a 1000. Anyone else?

How do you get picked up on the return journey if you've already used the drop off in the long stay in the morning?

Get them to park in the shopping area, just not on the red lines or disabled areas

One organisation that is also responsible is the Met Police. I am sure they have a big say in organised event crowd numbers. It is hard to battle against them Brent Council and NL. If you don't tick their boxes they are intransigent. They all probably take ages to make a decision after going through layers of beurocrasy.

Like the organised chaos at Notting Hill every year the Met allow?

But he does think its him, Tom F****** Lawrence "TFL"

Call me picky (Dave) but I’ve always assumed Tom’s name to be Tom.

Post updated with the word "middle" and I have corrected his surname to the right spelling. Basically, as a piece of english work, my OP stank!!

So that’s it for tickets now. We’re at the apportioning blame stage
