wokingsaints Posted 24 May, 2011 Share Posted 24 May, 2011 Ladies/gents, roughly how many fans did we take to the JPT final last year? thanks matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 24 May, 2011 Share Posted 24 May, 2011 Roughly 44,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 24 May, 2011 Share Posted 24 May, 2011 (edited) Official attendance was 73,476 - Carlisle failed to sell out their allocation of 24,506 and I doubt there where many neutrals at the game like with the FA Cup or League Cup final. - Saints probably had over 50,000 of the 73,476 (even though it was officially 44,000 Saints fans). There would have been many more Saints fans there if Wembley had listened to Saints' ticketing plan and allowed Saints to bring their own stewards.

Smirking_Saint Posted 24 May, 2011 Share Posted 24 May, 2011 Heard it was around the 50k mark, probably a little under though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwsaint Posted 24 May, 2011 Share Posted 24 May, 2011 I seem to remember a thread on this at the time. Around 51,000 according to a source at Wembley. There were Saints fans in the club wembley seats, and some in the Carlisle end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfc4prem Posted 24 May, 2011 Share Posted 24 May, 2011 I heard 52,500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchards Posted 24 May, 2011 Share Posted 24 May, 2011 I counted 53,456 but I'm not sure above the guy in block 51 seat 346 as he had a Chelsea shirt on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockbridge_saint Posted 24 May, 2011 Share Posted 24 May, 2011 I like to think of being as the most fans of any club that will ever get to be in Wembly at one time i don't think i'm wrong either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 24 May, 2011 Share Posted 24 May, 2011 (edited) Wembley personnel said that there were 55,000 Saints fans. I had tapped up a mate with Club Wembley membership and thought that we would be sat on our own as our seats were not in a general release section, amazingly we were surrounded by Saints fans who had no doubt used the same initiative. If the FL had accepted Nicola's proposal to supply and fund additional stewards in return for selling as many tickets as possible to fill the gaps it would have been fascinating to know just how many fans we would have taken!

stockbridge_saint Posted 24 May, 2011 Share Posted 24 May, 2011 Yeah I did exactly the same, got tickets off a mate who has Club Wembly membership. Apart from a few neutrals dragged along by their saints supporting friends it was all Southampton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 24 May, 2011 Share Posted 24 May, 2011 I counted 53,456 but I'm not sure above the guy in block 51 seat 346 as he had a Chelsea shirt on. That was Pride of the South, it's ok, he's a Saints fan. No reason to disbelieve the 55k figure, we had most of the Club Wembley seats in addition to selling out the allocation.
