Quoted from Jarmo.Is.God
THE Mariners have now sold around 12,000 tickets for Sunday's Vanarama Conference Promotion Final.

Level 2 (Club Wembley tickets) have now been put online through Seetickets.

i expect just under 15k, which for a small town, is not bad at all


Small Town?? So were there only 12k available seats in the lower tier for Town Fans? 15k is slightly disappointing given that this is our biggest game for years imo

Quoted from FishOutOfWater


In any given week, don't forget to consider only 10 Premier teams are using their own grounds and given that their fixtures come out almost a year before the end of the season ( out June 2014 for games in May 2015) then it could surely be arranged so that when say Manure are on their travels (like the last day of this season at the Targers) Old Trafford would be free

Of course it might mean moving the Conf play off date about but what's new there? As I recall it, Wrexham v Newport took place on the early May Bank Holiday Monday a couple of years ago, the same weekend that we played Gateshead last season and Eastleigh this


It's not just the slot in the calendar. The pitch itself could get damaged especially if there was a massive pitch invasion like seems to have now become the norm in play-off games. Man Utd might not want their surface to be ruined by a bunch of hoofers and their supporters

Whilst on the subject of the Conference and their twitter account in particualr the guy has just tweeted that the reason they used a ticket agency is becuase for every one who would queue to buy there would be nine who wouldnt bother!!Then adds "we have done fans surveys"

Get your drift Rob

But then again they don't mind holding the Super League Grand Final there in the middle of the football season...

Demand would drop hugely it it wasn't at Wembley. 2000 tickets would be plenty if we were away. It's fairer too that the highest placed team gets to play at home. I think given the Premier League grounds are all in use at the moment it's either Wembley or the stadium of one of the clubs.


Not a chance. We took 2500 to Alfreton for a regular league game, you honestly reckon there wouldn't be at least 3,000 trying to get to the play off final? Most of the fans who turn up for home games for starters!

We took near enough 1000 to Barnet which was on tv, isn't close and we weren't even really in a promotion race then.

The home game against Barnet was live on TV, the away game wasn't.
