I have been to all of Towns visits to Wembley and Cardiff,
Yet I have not spent a penny on food or drink there,
We take rolls and a drink with us from home,
AND
Consume them in the car park,
I suppose with the modern availability of fast foods,
Younger people do not do that.
I dont spend the money in the stadia or on barrow boy products it is just the principle of the matter that annoys me so much especially when it comes to the FA doing it, they market themselves as looking after grass roots, their new "whole game" system and the respect campaigns etc but at the first opportunity they will commit daylight robbery on their customers/family.

PS I can't believe some fans say they wouldn't go to watch their team as they don't like the stadium/food
Its the whole package Chris, cant believe i would even consider it myself but yet i will should we make it, transport costs, ticket handling fee, ticket cost, soulless stadium (to me) , inevitable food and drink bill at some point of the day and to what added benefit over watching it on my TV? Just to say i was there? I have been to the proverbial "there" plenty of times with GTFC so it wouldnt bother me if i won't on this occassion , if having considered all other factors i decide not to. Seeing GTFC stroll out at old Wembley for the first time in their history wont be matched in my eyes or emotions regardless of the occassion/prize.

We don't want any fanny talk like that, if we get to the play-off final get yourself there and when we have hopefully smashed whoever we play you can watch it all again when you get home..

If we get to Wembley I will definitely be there despite the rip off. This club has had over a decade of disappointments, false dawns and general shiteness. We've all stuck with them through all that, why deny yourself the first potential opportunity to see something good happen to the club in years?

i wouldnt, i would be watching on the telly wouldnt i? , being the pessimistic GTFC fan i am i can already feel the hurt, anger and overwhelming disappointment while contemplating seeing Barrow and Bromley next season as i trundle along on the long journey home back north... FFS please prove me wrong Town.

Wow. Just wow. I cannot believe people are actually saying they won't go to the playoff final should we get there. How about we go support our team on what could be one of the biggest games in our history? And, if money is tight, how about we agree to go 2 and maybe a bit hours without having some junk food or a pint?
intercourse it, if all you nay-sayers go I'll start a petition to stop Ticket Master having a monopoly on play off finals.

I agree, yes it will be an expensive rip-off ( and I hate being ripped -off ), yes I cant stand the FA and everybody involved in it, and don't particularly like Wembley, but will I be there for the play-off final should we get there.....absolutely YES, I will go and support MY team hopefully getting promoted back to were we belong, and every Town fan worth his salt should be there if they possibly can IMHO

Plus the fact that they'll only be sold via Ticketmaster with a £3.50 PER TICKET booking fee and postage charge on top.
So won't we be able to buy them from the ticket office at BP?
