Think pricing is a big factor but not the only one. The Seetickets thing is too. I can't believe they can justify £3 booking fee per ticket, even if you order in bulk. The nearly £3 postage despite a first class stamp being less than a pound. The 6p per minute phone call. Charging you postage even if picking up from Wembley. No way to buy from the club if you want too. (though some how GTFC got hold of tickets to sell to the public the last few days.)

We have been to Wembley recently and this will be our 5th trip in 17 years plus one to Cardiff. Most day trippers have been there done that. Its also on TV and finally and probably the biggest, its a non-league game nobody really cares except the regular fans, most that would turn up for a game like this or have done in the past just aren't bothered any more.

I think its disappointing we haven't managed to get near 20k, but can certainly now see why we haven't.

I've never really understood the obsession with attendances but it seems to apply from top to bottom. In our PO final, Luton outnumbered us about 2 to 1 and, being Luton, they tried to claim the neutral section as theirs ;-) We both had the same nonsense with rip-off See No Tickets, expensive travel to Manchester, etc, and there was no cheapo early purchase deal for neutrals that year. But an advantage of a "disappointing" attendance was the better atmosphere for those there. Hope tomorrow is a good game and both sets of fans should stop beating themselves up for 'only' taking x'000. Enjoy it, or try to!

A night out tonight has kept me from being far too stressed out. That will resume at 7am.

Judgement day.

For us, I can't help feel like it would be redemption for last year.

Couldn't think of a more 50:50 game.

Nervous as hell. Waiting for my hotel to open breakfast, then off to Wembley early doors.

I am going to the game today. I'm just grateful that I will be a neutral today. My ticket was only £10 because I brought the voucher in February when it looked like we might of needed it.

I'm still making my mind up as to whether I want to go to a pub and watch this, or stay at home and watch it on some shitty un-reliable stream...

Either way - will be cheering on Grimsby!

Come on!

I'm going to be on my way to Wembley, neutrally supporting both teams. I might go up to see the rest of the Hendon vs Margate play-off final afterwards.

Hoping for a decent game, like both sides but would prefer Grimsby to go up from a purely logistical point of view. Bristol is easy to get to, Grimsby is a mission and they've done their time, it's time to let them out on parole.
