I reckon 15,000 Spireites and 25,000 Pies

I think around that number as well.

I doubt that, if they're making he effort to get to London that day it'd be to watch Forest at Chelsea, a win could almost seal their survival.

Yes, I forget the Premier League has to go on way longer than the other leagues.

If they win and other results go there way, they'll be a point from safety with 2 games left

Edit: Sorry, misread your reply.

Bit random!
Lol
You may not realise but most international players play in the Prem. The clubs also have European games to fit in and are invariably longer in the domestic cups.
I’m guessing that’s the reason……

I can't see us taking more than 15K, many people have been priced out because of travel costs, £60 for a kid on a coach is a rip off, they are claiming the £125 coach parking is to blame, it really isn't. I went down to Bromley on the coach with my grandson and it cost £45 for us both. On a 53 seater coach they are bringing in over £3k. Its a rip off, end of.

No trains and it being televised, I reckon 12-15K town fans.

Edit:

I think County will take around 25k - 30K

Tickets already available on level 2 for County fans. Surely the club can put some sort of statement out explaining? A community club asking for £59 per person is a rip off. I appreciate the price will have been driven by the coach company but surely we are the customer and it’s our position to bargain the best price. There is no explanation for County coaches costing £30 and ours nearly double.

With a few others about 15k us 25k Notts.

Whichever way you look at it , getting to and from Wembley is a pain, compounded by a train strike. Regardless of transport everything associated with the day the day out is expensive.

As a small club we have been a few times so Wembley is not a novelty, its not difficult to understand folk watching it on tv.

That said I am as excited as a kid on Christmas eve and cant wait to walk up Wembley way with a sea of Blue and white and a fair few Pies.

Put it into perspective, National Express is £52 best deal, you would have struggled on train to get a return for £59 at this short notice

Apparently its down to the fact our coaches are coming from manchester and York so require extra drivers, they are alos having spare coaches incase some breakdown.

Now why didn't the ever reliable 'Bagshaws Battlewagons' take the same precautions?
