'Only' 23000 tickets sold - Page 5 - RedPassion.co.uk

If we get to the playoff final, I wonder if we will suffer a lower attendance than that of the Wembley cup game?
It would be a real shame if people choose to go to Wembley rather than the play off final. A similar thing happened when we played Newport as some fans only went to the trophy game against Grimsby. If we reach the final we need to outnumber the opposition fans and sing louder than ever to back the boys.

I would think that we would get min 20k for the play-off final. The chance to see our team in a winner takes all at a Premier League ground is perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Indeed, it's not every day you get to see Wrexham play at the Olympic stadium in London for a place back in the EFL

If we get to PO final we'd be lucky to take 10k.

Bank holiday weekend, expensive, just after Wembley, annoying location, Wales game.

I went to both games back in 2013 - a very different feel to them.

The FA Trophy day was our first ever trip to Wembley and the club did a good job piggy-backing on that. Many people took generations of their family as a result to get the family photo under the arch. The Grimsby fans were ace. A grand day out for all concerned.

The game against Newport was a high pressure game with a lot at stake. Many left their families at home. I saw several Newport fans attacked around the ground before and after the game.

I went to both games too and was disappointed with the low number of Wrexham fans in attendance in the play off final. I think we could potentially be outnumbered in the final if we come up against Chesterfield or Halifax. If we weren't in the FA Trophy final, I think it would be a different matter and we would out number any fans of the opposition

Only 23k? Good grief.

Remember when selling 18k was amazing having not played at Wembley before. It’s an amazing effort.

Yes - just shows how expectations have sky-rocketed under our new ownership!

Of course it is. And nobody in their wildest dreams could have predicted our average league attendance.

Once again, mischief making from 3pm.
