I'd guess the majority wont bother going despite it being a stones throw away.

IF and judging by recent comments I wouldnt guarantee it, what the Official Conference Twitter account says the £10 goes straight to the selling club (in this case Barnet) they then exchange the voucher for a seat at the game. This implies the ticket itself is 'free' but you've made a £10 donation to your club???


If that is the case then maybe Town missed a trick because had we not got to the final then anyone who had a voucher and didn't exchange it for a Wembley ticket could for example just as easily have been told they could put it towards say next season's new kit or other merchandise

I might have gone for this back in February instead of thinking / hoping that we wouldn't be going to Wembley on Sunday

Certainly the Conference twitter bloke implied this saying it was poorly advertised at many clubs as it was 'free money' for them??

Not the most reliable source i know

How many did we take to Old Trafford in 1939? Must have been quite a few as there were nearly 77000 there. Nobody had a car then either!

Hardly a surprise considering the idiots at the conference allocated neutrals the best seats in the stadium. Colin Peake (the abrasive moron running the @conferencefooty twitter account) is an absolute joke - how someone as incompetent as him continues to be employed in a PR capacity I have no idea.

Have a read of this. FootieMan is Mr Peake (aka the Conference PR man):

A load of Rovers fans bought tickets in the neutral zone.

They have just been told in no uncertain terms they are not allowed in, and will be ejected.

One Gashead only wanted to take his 5 year old lad to Wembley and sit in the best seat in the house but has been told he can't.

The Conference really is a joke, and fair play to you guy's for sticking with it for 5 years. God help us if we have to do the same

The voucher system is a good idea but it was not well explained. We sold just 18 tickets, we could have sold far more than that had it been properly marketed as the potential saving is huge for the supporter and the club gain too. Fans can and do mix at lots of grounds in this division, we've shown we can do it. I have been to the Challenge Cup final before and it works well at Wembley.
