Monk Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 Southampton currently hold the record for the number of fans at the new Wembley Stadium by one club, taking 44,000 to their Football League Trophy final victory over Carlisle in 2010. Millwall hold the record at the old Wembley when they brought 47,000 fans against Wigan Athletic in the Football League Trophy final in 1999. Also trying to find out if any other club has scored more than four goals in a final at the (newish) Wembo? Skates and Cardiff hold the highest attendance but the best fans in the world didnt take 44'000.
Saint Garrett Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 44k official. Think it was more like 55k unofficially
Saint Garrett Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 What a great day that was! I didn't go. ?
simo Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 Too many fans too large a queues for beer and the trains were too packed it got on my my tits ! Apart from that twas a great day
Smirking_Saint Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 44k official. Think it was more like 55k unofficially Something like this as we had the majority of the club wembley tickets
alehouseboys Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 Saints fans bought up a big chunk of 'Club Wembley' on top of the official 44,000, I would imagine you could add another 10k or so.
stockbridge_saint Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 I was in the Club Wembley seats. From what I can remember around where I was sitting it was 1/4 passionate Saints fans, 1/2 quiet Saints fans and 1/4 neutral
BadgerBadger Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 Would have been more if Wembley let us have tickets to the spare seats Carlisle didn't use
Ziggy Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 What a great day that was! Indeed it was! Loved it.
BadgerBadger Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 Just watched some of it on You Tube - it was a cracking day and to see Markus there with his camera, top man, I'm glad he had a taste of victory
ottery st mary Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 54,000 and counted everyone twice to make sure..... GREAT DAY...
sandwichsaint Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 Hard to see that stat being beaten, whether it is 44k or 54k, Would have to be a massive club v a tiny one in a JPT final, the massive club to get a massive allocation and the tiny one not to want more than a tiny allocation .... not going to happen is it?

Skates and Cardiff hold the highest attendance but the best fans in the world didnt take 44'000. Millwall fans often quote this on their mongboard when discussing why they need a 50,000 stadium.
Monk Posted 27 January, 2013 Author Posted 27 January, 2013 They forget 20% of that figure probably are doing some time, have a banning order or are on tag.
Turkish Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 They forget 20% of that figure probably are doing some time, have a banning order or are on tag. Makes it even more impressive they took 50k to Wembley then. Probably need 60k in that case.
PercyR Posted 27 January, 2013 Posted 27 January, 2013 Don't forget, here were fair few "quiet" saints fans, like myself, amongst the Carlisle fans that day too...
hutch Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 They forget 20% of that figure probably are doing some time, have a banning order or are on tag. Don't they have a penchant for buying the same seat twice at Millwall?
Turkish Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Don't they have a penchant for buying the same seat twice at Millwall? Now that was comedy gold wasn't it!! "Stuwall" trying to buy his own season ticket. Tried to find the link but you have have to be a member of the Milwalll House of Fun site.

Turkish Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Is that where you pick up tips for your Danny Dyer persona? Danny Dyer is West Ham you ignorant f*ck.
pap Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Is that where you pick up tips for your Danny Dyer persona? If Turks is even half the man Danny Dyer is, I am scared, and would suggest that some kind of Boys From Brazil scheme to populate the world with cheeky cockneys is happening.
dubai_phil Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 The Official number & the Club Wembley numbers don't include a significant number of Northern based Saints who could not get tickets via SMS but because of their postcodes were able to register and buy from Carlisle. There was a thread on here at the time about it IIRC
John Boy Saint Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 NC tried to get the tickets for the sections opposite the Royal Box as he didn't want to look out onto empty seats when there was still a big demand for tickets. In the big Radio Solent interview around that time, he mentioned that he approached the FA for the extra tickets with the offer of supplying our own Stewards from SMS, but was very disappointed when the FA turned him down especially as he had done some consultancy work as a favour for the FA. If I recall correctly his words were more or less that he would think twice about offering his advice so eagerly in the future. If the FA had played ball it would have been very interesting to have seen just how many folks we would have taken............ Little Southampton taking 65,000 fans to Wembley for a 3rd/4th Division cup final!! That would have made folks sit up.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 I thought we had more than that? Those are official not including the ones who got Carlisle tickets!
Saint Luke Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Was a fun day and I didn't have to queue for a beer at all! I remember 53,000 being the figure as well.
Barry Sanchez Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 I got a club Wembley or some ****e like that, about 55,000 I think, a record that will never be broken.
Scudamore Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Danny Dyer is West Ham you ignorant f*ck. You mugging me off you cardboard cutout c::nt?
JackanorySFC Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 I managed to blag our company box for this game. Funnily enough there weren't many Saints or Carlisle fans at my company at the time so the take up for the paint pot final was pretty slow, however one of the company's (who I dealt with) biggest clients was a big Saints fan living in London. Did a fag packet business case to get him there and ended up hosting him, his son, another sound as f*** client whose mate is a Saints fan, my brother, couple of mates, the missus' dad and his Dad on a absolutely top day! Our box next to Lawrie Mac, really nice fella that signed a couple of complimentary programme for my nephews. Brilliant day, was jealous of my mates in the Saints end as it looked a right laugh there, then I consoled myself with some more smoked salmon washed down by my 10th free beer of the day before meeting our Bet Fred girl who delivered me by winnings for 3+ goals and Lambert 1st goalscorer and having a chat with Jose Fonte who popped into our box 45 minutes after the game by mistake whereby we essentially held him hostage. Carlsberg don't do Cup Finals.....
Saint J 77 Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 54,000 and counted everyone twice to make sure..... GREAT DAY... Whatever the actual number was, it sure did look like a lot of Saints fans! What a great day it was too

Plastic fans indeed!
Tomobz Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Does anyone have a decent photo of our support that day?
Saint Fan CaM Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 Whatever the actual number was, it sure did look like a lot of Saints fans! What a great day it was too Thanks for posting that vid - really nice to see again. (:
Micky Posted 28 January, 2013 Posted 28 January, 2013 (edited) Does anyone have a decent photo of our support that day? There were a lorra lorra people there: Great day...! Edited 28 January, 2013 by Micky
Saint Garrett Posted 29 January, 2013 Posted 29 January, 2013 Theyre some fantastic photos ! Cheers for sharing.
