Plenty of suitable grounds in the Midlands, central for travel.

Quoted from KingstonMariner
90% of the time they don’t need anywhere as big as Wembley anyway.


100% of the time. Our game against Bristol Rovers in 2015 remains the highest non-league attendance of all time with Wembley a fraction over 50% capacity. I still think it’s the best venue for it though - it’s not what it used to be but there’s still something special about walking up Wembley Way.

Don’t like semi-finals being played there though - finals and internationals only for me.

As a fan, do you care where it is? The result is everything!

Possibly so, and getting promoted at ploggers would’ve been as mega as Wembley but I know which is the better day out...

I would’ve sooner played our PO finals somewhere like Villa Park, Anfield or Hillsborough than Wembley. Even with 15-20k of us in there, it felt like we were rattling about the place.

Incorrect.

The 2007 FA Trophy Final between Kidderminster Harriers & Stevenage Borough had an attendance of 53,262. Seems a lot, but it was the first club match played at the new Wembley.

Right you are sir. The Bristol Rovers game was the highest Conference attendance, and I had assumed that was the biggest in non-league.

We’d expect nothing else...like when the football have umpteen free Tuesday nights but choose to put a programme of fixtures on a champions league night.

Cheers for the info Regarding the final, I figured it was Becauee Wembley was being built but wasn’t sure...you’re never quite sure with the conference...


Isn't the Tuesday night thing to do with uefa,absolutely bloody ridiculous they want all levels of matches played by the same calendar. Must cost league 1 and 2 level clubs a significant amount of lost revenue having to compete against televised champions league matches instead of being able to play on different nights.

WTF...

The second Play-off SF (3rd v 4th/7th) is on Sunday 13th June at 12PM.

England’s first game at Euro 2020 is on the same day at 2PM. What a ridiculous time for the NL & BT Sport to choose.


That is shocking even for the NL! Why would you do that?
