ohwhenthesaints Posted 31 March, 2010 Share Posted 31 March, 2010 Also more than the Champions League final last year (thanks to Stadio Olimpico's smaller capacity). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 not to wish to cast a damper on this...but you mean watched live...not just watched. I doubt the international Tv rights for Sunday were worth tens of millions. Still amazing to have been there though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 More than Bashley vs Farnborough too. Although, to be fair, there were 2 ponies at the Bashley game and none at Wembley (as far as I could tell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsland Codger Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 If we take the number of Saints fans at Wembley on Sunday as 51,000, then I suspect this was the largest number of fans of any UK club away from their home venue in the modern era. I doubt if it will be surpassed any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulSaint Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 According to the Telegraph we are record breakers - Come on you reds!!! An attendance of 73,476 was not only the highest at any football game across Britain this weekend but even surpassed the numbers who watched the equivalent of the FA Cup final last season in Spain, Italy and Holland. With almost a quarter of Southampton’s entire population estimated to have been at Wembley, it was also an occasion that underlined the potential turning of the tide along the Hampshire coast.

spyinthesky Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 We will surpass it in the playoff final :-) I was at the Liverpool v Bruges European Cup Final at the old Wembley Liverpool must have had 90,000 fans+ in the 100,000 attendance Same as Man Utd v Benfica in the 60's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LINK Yeah, but many of us who were at Wembley don't live in Southampton - there were plenty of Saints fans passing through Victoria heading off to their homes - but maybe as we're plastic fans they don't count us ?

And through Paddington. Our train up from Swindon had a good number of Saints on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MongoNeil Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 There was a convoy of us heading up the M40 afterwards too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 (edited) Many a tractor travelling up from Devon/Cornwall and a lot of converted Janners carrying their pitchforks with the red and white colours tied thereon......The pitchforks were for use against any stray Pompey supporters....

hasper57saint Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 As I said in an earlier post 'These journo's really do use poetic licenceto the full '. There were hundreds of us from the Midlands area (NOT PLASTICS - just supporters) and ask Yorkie how many came down from the North East? Incidentally 'How much is a quarter of the population of Southampton?' Dibden Purlieu Saint don't live there but he WAS at Wembley!As were many others.Just because we don't live in 'Swampton' for whatever reason don't mean we ain't Saints.

Hatch Posted 1 April, 2010 Share Posted 1 April, 2010 How many did Rangers take to Manchester the other year for the UEFA Cup final, OK , most didn't even have tickets, but wasn't it millions and millions or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
