Fill it easy, if there's 27k prepared to come to the Hartlepool celebration game , then 35k for Wembley will be a given, no problem.
I was there and to the side of me were 8 drunk Chelsea fans, getting up and down all game to buy more beer and behind was a West Ham dad and two sons asking how big their ground was compared to ours. It was sad how little atmosphere there was as we scored. Most around left before final whistle. So whilst we might sell a lot of tickets, I doubt all will be our own fans.
The most unpleasant atmosphere at away games is always when we take a large following - It does seem to drag some characters out of the woodwork.
Shall we start the 'Thank you Charlton Fan's for making me stand for 90 mins' thread now?
I just find it a bit tedious watching people doing bad Danny Dyer impersonations. I realise we don't take a big away following very often so it's not a massive problem.
Fair few who would normally have gone to Pompey are flying to Benidorm early Sunday morning, so are giving it a swerve to keep their powder dry and their wallets intact (and it’s a high risk category game, lead us not into temptation and all that)
Last time there wasn’t Di Casio scoring... it was Traore or whoever he was. 1-0 win in prem relegation season.
Amdy Faye, one of the greats.
Our only say win that season.
I was right behind the goal for that one. Amdy scuffed his shot against the defender and it ricocheted back off his shin and looped over the keeper! Superb! A great away day in a terrible season. A good few beers in the red, white and blue afterwards. Classic awayday
If the team finally show up at a big away folllwing away day we might actually be spared the.. “Thanks for making me stand” “Someone was in my alloted seat” “The smoke bomb made me cough” “Too much swearing” “Too many pissed youths” ..threads come Monday morning, who knows eh!

"Never see them up at "insert any grim northern outpost" midweek"
Some of my best mates are northern (through England games) so i'm used to winding them up, but love them all really.
You'll be pleased to know my daughter regularly abuses Northerners when we play any team North of Watford.
Undercrackers optional.
Just hope those that go get a good day out and a good result.
Will be watching iFollow from Yorkshire.
Every game is a cup final now..
Handing my dissertation in tomorrow so if we win or lose I'm sure I'll be able to release all the stress!
Can’t leave work until 1 and there’s bus replacements for most of the journey. I would end up missing first 25 mins of kick off.
