Not looking busy on Tuesday night - buy your tickets !!

Many people will buy on the day just like they did against Forest and Bolton. Given the weekends result I can see a few more picking up tickets

I hope the north is as full as normal and hoggy is banging the drum. Plenty of Dembele/ Wembley song and que sera sera song as we beat borough again.
I hope if we do win that many thousands make the trip and roar us on to another famous Wembley victory.
And if anyone has 3 spare seats in a car I’ll pay for the petrol and food.

Can’t see more than 20k if we win - but would love to be proven wrong
 
The Bolton match was the best atmosphere for a long time.
Proving you don't need numbers, just like minded supporters prepared to back their team for 90 mins plus.

I won't be there for the match or final if we get there.
I'm away for both matches, won't even be able to watch the posh game on telly I'll be 35000 in the air.🤷
 
I’m sure as many as possible will try to go and any reticence will only be fueled by money being tight and not trusting Critchley. People have seen enough of players being played out of position, long balls to players smaller than the defenders and a formation that doesn’t suit us . Senior pros should have talked to Critchley.

I’d be surprised and happy to get 20k there tbh. I only expect about 12-15k. But let’s just get there first and then promote it properly.

Honestly, it doesn't matter one iota how it's promoted.
They could offer free transport down to Wembley, half price ticket and a free burger under the Bobby Moore statue and some wouldn't take up the offer.
Supporters who want to go will go.
Supporters who don't won't.
And there'll be a few that are last minute.
EXACTLY the same as matches at Bloomfield Rd 😉👍🏻

Anyone not going because they don’t like Critchley needs to look at themselves in the mirror.

We’ve been consistently solid in this tournament, and with a chance of Wembley and a decent wad of cash, everyone who can should be there to back the team.
 
Will buy tickets either tomorrow or Tuesday. If it had been a 7.00 pm ko wouldn't have bothered as wouldn't get there for kick-off.

The day before the Bolton game , we had barely sold 1000 tickets and we ended up with 3k there

Maybe not quite a tripling I dont think, but you're on the right track.

Probably closer to 3.5k this time gone so far, at a guess, so many can and probably will buy over the next day or turn up on the night.
 
North stand is looking quite full also few blocks in the west busy too. A lot more will buy today and tomorrow. I know of 7 still to buy x

The problem is a lot of people (especially on social media) have really drawn their line in the sand with Crichley. Hopefully they don’t remain stubborn with it.

If they want him out then fair enough, you’re allowed that view. But it’s not like we’re getting battered every week and it’s a hard watch.

Most home games (especially this competition) have been solid performances, so I don’t get why people wouldn’t turn up just because of him. Childish

I actually think it's a lot more to do with the devaluing of the overall competition with the U23's.

It's all a bit weird.

However, we've a chance to play at Wembley and although we've been spoilt over the last 20 years or so in terms of only being 3 or 4 years between appearances, we should never take it for granted.

So there'll be two travelling over from Hartlepool to get behind the team and hopefully see us back there.

Yeah, probably a bit of that as well.


I felt the apathy at the start of the tournament, didn’t go until the Bolton game, but when we started playing rivals and Wembley felt close, then I saw it as more valuable than before.
 
I've seen a good deal for Tangerine face paint at Home Bargains so going to take a punt and go there tomorrow evening.
Hopefully you all see a Blackpool victory and I'll be with you at Wembley in full oompah loompah mode👍

There will be plenty that are not too bothered but mithering kids may just sway them. Players in schools pre Wembley IF we get there might help. Free scarf for all under 16s with an adult would be a good move n maybe they then become lifelong fans? It’s better to try than not.
 
Some people mock the competition but it's clear as you progress further it becomes more and more interesting to people.

Also it's a chance to go to Wembley and that helps build fanbases.

OK it's not quite the same as a promotion game there, but a chance to see Blackpool try and win a cup isn't something you see every day.

Look how much it means to the players too, our players.

The penalty victory was celebrated like any big cup win.

Let's hope we can win as this would still be a great occasion for the club and even if it won't be a 30k like a promotion final, those who do go and take family and friends who don't always, usually or ever go, will be possibly wanting to come again in the future and will be on the clubs system for our big previous purchase games and marketing.
 
Ticket sales for tomorrow are looking good and still all day tomorrow up to kick off to sell more. North will be all sold is my guess
 
I hope it’s a decent turn out tomorrow and a cracking atmosphere for the sake of the players, it’s been a good watch from a far and would have had no hesitation in attending these games if I were still in Blackpool.

UTMP 💪⚽️

Can you put me down for another category -
Supporter who would like to go but can’t.

I will be listening in when able and checking AVFTT.

I know the date of the final but it’s not in my diary yet!
 
Said I wasn't going to go to another game all season whilst Critchley was manager but failed already. Got tickets for the Bolton match. Tonight is a step too far though. Happily watch this on the telly.

Yeah because f*ck all the fans who've been supporting the club for 40, 50 or 60+ years, long before just about all the Johnny come latelies in the North! 🤦

Modern society summed up in one flippant comment; once you get older you are of no use. The North has never been how the South Paddock (or any stand or ground) was back in the day!!!

Does that mean you are not going at all next season with Critchley at the helm
