Quoted from Limerick Mariner
Circa 14-15k from us circa 6k from Solihull so it should break 20k. How can we make sure the messaging that this is despite the decisions of National League? Not sure how critical the club will want to be but the Trust don’t need to hold back…


The club can be as critical as they like...if we win  

Talking of winning I have just had a look at some of Solihull's matches, including their semi-final triumph. They are very good I must say and it will be a great effort to win the final. Obviously, we can do it; even in the home match against them we were on top for long periods, and we did not have the players and/or form we have now.

It seems funny to say such a small club could have such good players but it will be evenly matched. I am hoping there is a Solihull fan somewhere typing - "God Grimsby are a good side - we will have to be at our best..."

Probably just nerves on my part.

I see Jeff Stelling is getting on the bandwagon slagging off the NL for prices - good man! If I had an ounce of IT acumen I would share his twitter post my son sent me - but I am a Tech dinosaur!

That's an astonishing engagement Jeff has received there with his potential reach. I suspect that's been put in front of Vanarama marketing and a collective head in hands ensued.

The best thing about that Jeff Stelling tweet is that it quickly led me to this outstanding thread of Allan Saint-Maximin as a vibrator. This is what the internet was made for.

Quoted from jamesgtfc
The National League have admitted that they planned for a possible Notts County v Wrexham final and needing a stadium that could hold 50k.

Best bit of that statement is: "It was pointed out that no team from south of Birmingham would be involved but we thought intercourse it, we like the prawn sandwiches you get at the London Stadium and we couldn't be arsed to ring Villa Park, Hillsborough, Old Trafford, Anfield, Etihad...."

Quoted from Poojah


I think 18k is unlikely. The first and to a slightly lesser extent second day of sales will always be disproportionately higher than anything which comes after, and we've sold roughly 9,000 on day one and 2,500 on day two (so far). If it doesn't fall between 15k and 16.5k, including those donated / subsidised tickets, I'd be surprised. Probably closer the lower end I would imagine.

Still a great effort for an unpopular stadium, with expensive seats (everywhere but behind the goal where there aren't any at all), in an unpopular location which is expensive to get to. I'm not suggesting it would have been a viable venue, but purely for conjecture I reckon we'd have broken the 20k barrier had the final been somewhere more easily accessible like the Etihad.


If we can get to 15K, we'll be doing pretty well. Of my friends (mostly exiles) who would normally go to a play-off Final, only a couple (plus myself) are able to attend this weekend due to stuff going on, whether holidays booked or family responsibilities. Timing seems off this year, for some reason, or perhaps there's just a lot of stuff going on with folk.

In what way?  Geographically closer to every single team in the play-offs.  City not on total lockdown due to Jubilee celebrations, no public transport strikes/travel constraints and a capacity that exceeds 50,000.  

Also an actual football stadium.
