Will we sell out?

[GymClassHero]

Our home leg of play off semi's?

Should we get there, our allocation at Wembley?

You'd think most clubs of our size would, and previously we always have but I feel the recent history in play offs, the poor last season and the disappointment of missing out on autos might keep some away.

I'll 100% be going to Wembley if we get there. Can't miss that.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Couldn't give a flying fuck.

I just want us to win and go up

 

[Tezza1889]

Years ago lots sid they were never going to Wembley ever again..

They all went back for more punishment..

I've already sounded about 10 out to get to Wembley should we get there ...

It's about 4 out of 10 right now. But that will change if we are in the final, to answer, we'll sell out..

One day will be our day...when, well that's another question.

 

[mikeheath]

I said I’d never go to Wembley unless we were there, thinking only of the Cup Final and then we were allowed to play Wednesday and I went. Maybe a few records to be shattered this season

 

[Dkc]

I've seen us lose there three times, and am resigned to not going this time. Not sure I would do another PO final, but 100% if we ever get to FA or League Cup final.

 

[S40BLADE]

I will not be attending any playoff match including any final much better uses of the funds nowadays. If we finally break the curse this year then I was the bad luck charm

 

[metalblade]

No we won't sell out between SAG ans SUFC ticket office they will make it too hard to get tickets. Then if we do manage to get there to see the usual Wembley no show you would probably find yourself next to a load of piss heads who have been on the marching powder and think they are ten men and want to fight everyone. Not my idea of a fun day out. That said I have a sneaking feeling we are going to win em this time.

 

[Grizzly blade]

I said after Burnley PO I’d never do another. And I meant it.
Was there for Palace, Wolves, Burnley.

Palace final I was full of belief being young and naive, never seen my team at Wembley having been forced to miss the cup semi against the pigs.
Was heavily invested in the Wolves one, 2 cup semis, the PO semi v Forest and the comeback…it killed me when we didn’t turn up.
Burnley PO was a last minute decision to go, I regretted it the minute I walked in the stadium and felt the nervousness of the United lot compared to what seemed very much more confident Burnley end. Knew that moment we were screwed and the performance matched the stands.

I have a horrible feeling it’s history about to repeat itself, we’ve been unconvincing almost all season, and even though we are so far clear of 4th and likely to break 90 points I fear the curse is real and about to strike again.
And I’m just not prepared to chuck £100’s at experiencing that again.

Pessimist- absolutely. When I see it as it is I call it. Was confident we’d go up with Wilder first time as we were clearly very good…this time…far too many frailties and issues for me to handle big one off games (Leeds/Burnley for example)

Much as it hurts, as whoever does go up from the rest are so badly prepared and average it really is sickening. But that’s the way it goes. We just need to plan for going again next season and make clear decisions regarding manager and if we stick or twist.

Whatever is decided it needs to be done now if it hasn’t already.
Then all decisions after that need to be decisive and with a clear intent of promotion.

That’s my record watching United at a neutral venue. Played 9, lost 9, scored 4, conceded 17.

So, yeah, I think I might be watching us lose if we get there.

Level of bedwetting at the prices not being five quid cheaper than what they actually are will cause localised flooding and crash SUFC's web servers. Only people who queued up in person will get one, 6k attendance

Went to 7 of those games and saw 1 goal. Was also at Stamford Bridge when we were relegated. It's difficult to get excited.

ISZA at all of those bar Hull City when we were on holiday.

And in answer to the original question i have a nasty feeling that the home play off crowd will be if not the lowest crowd of the season then close to it

 

[bladesmanluke]

We've nigh on sold out a friendly on Saturday. Get behind them these boys have done plenty for us, given us a Sheffield double, finished 3rd after starting the season with about 6 players after last seasons representatives conceded 104 goals and finished on 16 points.

Sure, they lost 3 games on the trot they should've won and blew a good chance of autos, but they've earned your attendance for the playoffs imo.

I’d sooner go to sleep and wake up in the Premier league…Play offs are no fun whatsoever.

Was at all of these ....
Unfortunately we are on holiday for the po final this year

 

[S64 Blade]

Like most, I was at the previous finals/Wembley heartbreak moments. You can’t let past events determine your outlook on a current one, especially when the factors for winning and losing are all totally different.

I don’t feel excited about going either, but, I’ll be there. If we do lose it won’t be because we lost there in 1997.

 

[Montymagic]

Nope.

But down to finances
With a sprinkle of Wembley being shite all around

 

[Champagneblade]

I think we will sell out but only if they don’t have a ridiculous policy as if they think they will be inundated.

Season ticket holders first. Allow them to buy as many as they want.

General sale a couple of days later.

 

[Bell4]

Absolutely percent

Why the hell wouldn’t you go to see Utd at Wembley ? How many times in our lifetime will we get the chance to? And to be there if we actually win , and lift a trophy ….did you see the Newcastle supporters? Oh to not be in the tubestation at 5pm …

Wembley all the way

Same here . Would I consider giving it a miss should they make it this season - not a cat in hell's chance !!

 

[Carlton Blade]

Got my season ticket renewed, will buy the ticket for the home leg, going on holiday 4 days after the final. Not sure I can really afford it if we do get there

 

[Wards]

Imagine missing us going up 'cos you'd seen us lose there before'

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

Should hope we sell out, poor if not, if we’re to be a big club need to act like one.

 

[Rusty view]

Imagine missing us going up 'cos you'd seen us lose there before'

That's why I'll be there.

Done everyone. I've been through too much pain to miss us actually win.

My record in this mirrors yours exactly - 9 times watching United in 'big games' at neutral venues, and 9 times being kicked ferociously in the balls!

And, yep, I'll be there, again, if we make it. How could I resist?!

 

[finlaytheblade]

Yes

Yes I will 2nd that! I can add the semi finals against Leicester in the early sixties ( when we were robbed of a winner at Elland Road Doc Pace scored a good goal which was ruled out for hand ball even though doc had a mark on his shirt where the ball hit him ) 1936 was the last time we reached the final and lost that to Arsenal.
Could we mark the centenary of our last win at Wembley with a win ?
I will be there like any true blade !
Not many of us around who saw the Leicester trilogy ! Any 1936 fans around! I feel sure there will be some?

 

[Harry's Game]

We would shift about 25k tickets for Wembley I would imagine,

Went to all those but my abiding playoff memory is Swindon away in the L1 semi 2nd leg.
