Genuinely feel we could have sold 30k+ for this game
Comfortably. I remember some people also said that about the Donny second leg. The "Sold Out" tweet went out 3 days ahead, as I recall, but still after the 1st leg when we seemed to be in a good position.

We'll do that for Wembley mate
If we get there we could well have 50k to sell - that’s 10k more than 2019 - could we do that ? Our glory boy / latent support seems to have grown in the 5 years we’ve been wollowing about in league 1 or is it the power of that ticket marketing bloke who was spouting off the other day ?

Did laugh at Godden saying on the radio earlier we’d take 45k+ to Wembley, we’d give it a good go but don’t think we’d ever get given that many!
Wasn’t it the Not The Top 20 pod that said it was the best away support they’d ever heard at a football match? We sold out, but Sunderland didn’t (although they’d played at Wembley in another final just before, from memory). Thought we sold about 45k, from not very reliable memory? I had to buy through the Wembley website, which I suppose doesn’t go down as part of our allocation?

Thought it was 39k - 40k we took in 2019. If we get there, I reckon we could take (slightly) more than that this time.
Population living within 2 miles of The Valley grew about 26% between the 2001 & 2021 census. Not sure that many of the new arrivals are attending CAFC matches but huge opportunity for growth in support.
There is no way of knowing which seats have been sold in the JS. How do you create a home area at this stage?
There is no way that sharing the stand without clear segreagation would be allowed. It should be remembered that the opposition and dates for the matches weren't know until the final matches were played.
At Norwich the away fans are seated in a stand side on to the pitch and are segregated from the home fans by a whole block of seating. I'm sure that something similar happens at other clubs with similar arrangments.

We seriously need to be considering segregating the Jimmy Seed and selling an extra ~800 or so tickets to Charlton fans.
Pretty confident this will happen if Wycombe don't win the first leg comfortably. A draw or away win and i don't envisage them shifting anywhere close to 2k tickets.
They've only sold 4650 home tickets for Sunday so far.
Nothing doing for me all week. Not one ticket. Oh well.
I'm not really in the business of encouraging anyone to go as it could result in disappointment, but.. have you checked the spares thread where there is a relatively buoyant trade?

They will sell the away tickets a block at a time, if they have any sense they will have started at one side of JS stand so that the other could be left open to home fans if possible

Now to plan the journey down from Stockport, in the car, with the return journey straight after the game.
Where is a good place to park the car about 10-15 mins walk from the valley? First time I've ever driven down to it
I've had nothing to do since 12:30!
Edit: 26 tickets left and one wheelchair space

But a good omen (i hope) is that in front of their 5 biggest home and 6 biggest away followings, they've failed to register a single win.
