Quoted from SamTheMariner
I think the final should be held at Villa Park or Bramall Lane. You'd get a better atmosphere in a smaller ground and its easier to get to.


Neither of those two grounds would be big enough if we play Bristol.

And the easier to get to bit obviously depends on who's in it!

I am not so sure Rovers will take that many to Wembley, I mean they have a huge base of support but a lot of that will go to City and I doubt there are many people who would go to both so would they really take that many more?

They took 40k to the League 2 playoff final 8 years ago so I wouldn't be surprised to see something similar.

Fair enough, that is a hell of a crowd to go, thought City would rob them of more fans that would that.

I would think about 30,000 Rovers,

20,000 Mariners

8,000 neutrals ( according to the Conference )

So could be over 60,000,

Just one thing,

We both have to get there first.

Good to see the Conference actually doing something sensible. The away goals rule is one of the shittest rules in this world we call, er, earth.


Dunno about that. With our away record......


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Wasn't the away goals rule brought in to try to encourage the Italian teams to come out of there own half in away games. Footy has moved on even it Italy, redundant rule now I feel.
