Mentioned below under "Would R's take more than Luton to Wembley", but worth repeating -
Lootown have sold 37,800 and FA are only giving them a further 850. How come so many ? For a team bottom of Div 2, on the verge of going out the league. With 5-6k ave crowds.
Here's why.....
They've given hundreds if not thousands to local Schools / Youth Teams. Probably a good idea until regular fans started missing out.
Many who have tickets are friends of fans. Most are just going for the day out / drink up. 53 from my local alone, only a dozen or so are regular fans.
Some previously regular fans now lapsed are attending for their swansong etc.
S****horpe have sold 12,000. FA say the £800M Wembley cannot cater for segregation between 38k and 12k fans ! So Around 30k/35k of seats will be empty. Brilliant eh ? Both team will lose out on much needed gate reciepts.
Also the FA/FL have refused Luton permission to make their Under 11 kids team mascots for the day. Their Under 11 team recently beat Bayen Munich in the Final of a prestigous tournament (Man Utd lost in earlier round).
How good would it have been for a team of 10 year olds to walk out at Wembley with their heroes in front of 38k fans (& their families) applauding them for their achievement ? Even the Scunny fans would have joined in.
Incredible, sometimes the authorities amaze me.
Still hate them (and living in the town doesn't help), but I do sympathise, especially for the kids and their families.
And I still hope we NEVER have to play in that competition again.
Shame Gallen can't play (cup tied).
