Given this is our 4th time of asking and 5th play-off nightmare, that's really pretty good.

Actually it is pretty shite for a club from the UK's 4th city

I'm impressed given the vast numbers of people who said "never again" last time, plus those who can't afford it this time around.

This could get an extra 1000 or so Huddersfield bums on seats that otherwise wouldn't be there. And makes a great connection with the community. Pity, but I can't see SUFC doing something like this. Or am I wrong?

...in the third division, for too many asks...

We'll have to beg to differ, though I'll always be suprised ay how many have chosen not to go either way.

Strange that a team from Sheffield needing one win for promotion can't sell 38000 tickets for the game ............................ oh hang on

I remember a team from Sheffield who couldn't shift 20,000 for an FA cup final, when it was REALLY worth winning. It's all about circumstances.

i don't give two fucks how many tickets we've sold so long as we win.

Well, have a word with the FA and ask them to move it to the Sty then.

It was 1993! I don't look that young. 18, maybe?

Enjoy bigging up the pigs? Slightly different traveling 340 miles round trip (plus the expense) as opposed to turning up at your own ground. And that would be the same pigs that couldn't average 30,000 even when they qualified for Europe - something we managed under Warnock despite being relegated. Given the number of play off finals we've been to & the massive disappointment each time - plus the way we faltered at the end of the season - 30,000 is decent. UTB FTO

We have to win this time ay???????????????

 

[Blade58]

30,000 Blades, average 170 miles each way round Trip = over 10 Million Football Miles, Green as Fuck.

Who has the Shortest Journey ?

Who has the Longest Journey ? - and I bet that fucker from LA is on here Saturday wanting a Stream

 

[chesterblade]

Have heard of people travelling from Toronto and Adelaide.

 

[BusheyBlade]

As the crow flies I live 6.5 miles from Wembley. My total journey time from home to Wembley Way will be 20 minutes.

What's the parking like at your place Bushers?

The Servants Car Park will be Full, so no go there, I think there is an NCP somewhere in London

Alright Worky, I have a cunning plan and, unlike Kevin Blackwell, a back up plan.
Last time, as an M40 meister, we parked at Ickenham and tubed it in but that was too long a journey and the queue for the tube back after the game was a 'mare. This time I plan to drive in further and see if I can get some street parking and walk the rest of the way.

Have a look at Alperton-ish, Hanger Lane, there is a Bus Service to Wembley, but you can Walk it. Hanger Lane is one or two Junctions past Wembley on the North Circular, Look for a Pub called the Fox and Goose.

Plan C - cheers Worky
It's a fair walk from there though - I have customers in Park Royal

Yep at least 40mins, very Cultural though, did it Vs Burnley, the Walk got it out of my System before Landing in the Pub, the rest is just a blur .....

I'm driving down to Cannons Park (5 minutes) and parking up there.

I never know where this fact comes from. Are we talking in terms of population, postal area, or actual land mass covered.
According to Wiki, its the 3rd largest district in terms of poulation but that is slightly deceptive given that Manchester is smaller but maybe thats because of Salford?
I dont think many would have put Bradford above Liverpool Bristol or Manchester either. London comes in with a population of 11700.
