So basically you can buy tickets for dirt cheap with no guarantee that your team will be playing in the final?
Or am I misreading?

Nope, you're spot on. Usually the attendance is somewhere around the 20,000 mark but all Conference clubs insist on a Wembley final.
So I gurss they're trying to get a few more daytrippers in the gate as, unless its us v Grimsby, there'll be empty seats.

At a tenner I'm almost tempted to buy one and go even if Rovers aren't in it, but I wouldn't be able to stomach it if we lost in the semi-final.

Get rich quick scheme.
Buy 20 and sell them to Grimsby fans for double the price.

Our average attendance this season is higher than it was in 2006-07 so I've no reason to believe we'd struggle to sell 40k again.

it is a no brainer ... surely you buy a ticket for a tenner just in case and just head to a forum of the play off finalists to flog it and get your money back if we win the league!
I intend to buy a few if possible

I'd rather pay the proper price for a ticket in the Rovers end than £10 to sit in a neutral area.

Reading it closely it looks like you purchase a voucher which you then exchange for a ticket when they become available. So there should be no reason why you don't end up with a ticket at the Rovers end if we.... .................................................................. |

Even some S**t fans went to see the ground. Don't think we will take as many this time, hard to predict though. |

Not forgetting the Conference is seen as tinpot to most people, which it probably is and it's possible the opposition could be somebody like Eastleigh or Forest Green! 25-30k tops I'd say.

I don't think Shrewsbury would have been any more of a draw for wavering supporters than Eastleigh or FG would be. If Rovers did get to the play-off final, you could argue it would be a bigger game for us than the 2007 final - in attempting to regain Football League status. We'd certainly take a healthy crowd and our friends from south of the river will set a benchmark in the JPT that we would need to compete with. Any case, I'm not going to tempt fate by buying a ticket and I'll suffer full cost if it comes to it. |
