Whats the capacity of Old trafford versus Wembley?

Elthamaddick

Old trafford about 76k, Wembley 90k ?

nichorob

Old trafford is 77,000, Wembley 90,000.

kinveachyaddick

would mean a few less day-trippers if we did end up there - only proper CAFC would go

wonder how many of their 40,000 Millwall would have taken if their game with Swindon had been at O/T

Rothko

Wembley for a play off final is 77,000 public sale tickets

Elthamaddick

I'd expect teams to get around 25,000-28,000 tkts for Old Trafford

Rothko

Football league saying they'll be 66,000 tickets available to the clubs involved

CharltonKerry

Could someone confirm the playoff final dates, i thought it was weekend 20th May, but from that the artical it appears to be around the 28th May?

LSEBarnes

....so 33,000 tickets for us if we get there?

I would've preferred Cardiff, the stadium is right in the centre of town and surrounded by loads of bars. Old Trafford is in Manchester.

Ollywozere

The whole things blooming ridiculous as far as I'm concerned. Should've told UEFA to shove it. 2 weeks to put up some advertising boards around Wembley? Yeah right

WSS

I'd play it at the Racecourse ground if it meant us going up!

razil

more likely to do with Wembleys dodgey pitch being overused, and lower tier 'cloggers' matches can be sacrificed...?

leftbehind

Not great for us with limited spare cash, presuming we get there

a big fat double Booooooooooooo from me.

Rothko

Wembley's pitch is fine now.

UEFA rules innit, when we bid for the final it was going to be on the Wednesday, so it wasn't an issue

The Prince-e-Paul

Booorrrring. been to old trafford and it's not all that, lol. Spotland next week is a first however! Bring on the Dale!!

pilchard

Would have prefered Arsenal.(though the capacity is less so it probably would never have happened)

you're right cos we were supposed to host it last year anyway but the tax shambles dragged on

tangoflash

Who cares? we're gonna get one of the automatic places anyway, aren't we?..........Lads?.................Just me left in the believers club then.....:-(

What date is the league one final .... i'm booked into a poxy wedding in italy from 27th-30th may

Miserableoldgit

We'll only take our usual away following anyway (unless there is a C.L.I.T. coach going to improve our numbers......)
