Torquay United Fans Forum

Anyone know how many tickets were sold today?

I would like to concentrate on some (hopefully) positive news rather than some of the negative comments being thrown around so far.

Then prepare to be embarrassed - we didn't get too many more for the BSP playoff final and Wembley is easier to get to and the match was only screened on Setanta.

Anything less than 10k is embarrassing IMO.

Anyone know if drums are allowed into old trafford?

its a completely different climate to when we got to wembley for the sherpa van in 89, everything was loads cheaper, there was less football on the tv, the premiership and champions league were just a vision on a marketing mans flip chart somewhere and wembley was a sacred place. no one ever thought little torquay united would ever get to wembley, plus we were the first devon club to play so a few from our rivals piled up to watch us get battered.

we'll never see the likes of that following in the 21st century i'm afraid! shame, even tho we lost it was a magical day out!

Villa Park or even somewhere like the Madejski.

Perfectly big enough

Short notice, cost and not being Wembley means we'll take less than to previous finals.

Villa Park would have been a better choice for League Two play off. More central and better atmosphere with ground more full.[/quote]

Agree totally. Gonna be like 2 peas rattling round in a saucepan in an 75k seater ground. Bit like wembley really :-|

[quote="Smithys"]quite a few people who ive spoken to are gonna give a miss cos they wanna watch the CL final![/quote]

On the basis that they'd be travelling back durinmg the match if they went up for the play off final?? What's wrong with setting the timer on the video recorder and watching it when they get back??

If it's any kind of gauge ... for our first Wembley game I went with 4 other people ... for the play off final it was just me and the wife ... and this time around none of us can make it. I'm working (trying to swap shifts) and can't afford the travel up and back, plus the ticket, at the moment. I think we'll be lucky to have anything over 7.5k. Either way I'm sure it'll be a great day out for those that can make it. I'm gutted I can't.

I can't go :(
I will be in a pub in Guildford watching on telly, as Dave will tell you I am a little gutted.

6-7k at best for me, if we cant sell out play off home leg then why should be suddenly find 10k more people just cos its at old trafford?? long way from home, tickets expensive, £80 return on train and its on sky, plus means they'll all miss their beloved man u losing to barcelona in the champions league final later that night!!

18,195 the official attendance, must say I'd be disappointed if there weren't at least 20k for the final. Realistically, we should sell about 10k.

Off topic slightly, this BSP play-off final has been a very good game. Come on the Dons!
