What has it got to do with the National League
Quite correct. Followed up the error of previous poster.
So the FA have the ability to inform us of the number of tickets sold by each club.
But history tells us it’s a no then; they will merely tell us the total number of tickets sold. -

They took between 5000 and 6000 to the 2022 final at West Ham where there was a stink about ticket prices. I assume they’ll take more to Wembley this time, although they are also in the Trophy final a week later. Be interesting which game will attract the out and out days trippers most.
Will we be able to discern the tickets sold by each of the four clubs for the Trophy Finals Day though? -

Didn’t Brown use the money the club had accrued over the FAC semi final run and subsequent fee player sales, ie Davis, Holland, Dyche, Mercer and Williams to pay NL?
A shady practice indeed.
Edit. From David Conn’s report of the sentencing of Brown in 2005.
Lea sold the club for £1.2M to be paid in instalments. Brown paid the first £384k effectively from CFC coffers, but no more. Money was spent bringing in players such as Pollitt, Beckett and Reeves, with £399k going to Brown’s company which also owned Sheffield Sharks and Sheffield Steelers. He pleaded guilty to having taken £800k, including some of the above, out of CFC for his own purposes
CFC was found to be £2M in debt when CFSS eventually bought the shares.
The deal to sell to Brown smacked of Lea’s way of going about his business. And he suffered as a consequence. As did we fans of course.
