spyinthesky Posted 25 March, 2015 Share Posted 25 March, 2015 Talking to a Bristol City supporter today who was rightly proud of taking 40,000 fans to Wembley for this years JPT final Walsall also did well to drum up 30,000 fans in a 72,000 crowd However it appears that our game v Carlisle still holds the record of 73,476 The JPT website say that we took a record 44,000 that year but, according to info from Wembley Stadium, there were 52,000 in the Saints and corporate sections plus just under 19,000 from Carlisle (and hats off to them for a long journey at difficult time of the day) and the rest were Johnstone Paint corporate tickets etc We also hold the second highest qualifying attendance (29,900 SF v MK Dons) after Coventry, who sold their tickets at £5 a pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 26 March, 2015 Share Posted 26 March, 2015 Reckon we could of sold another 15k as it was hard enough getting a ticket for that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been in the football league trophy (insert appropriate sponsor) since 1992.... before that it was the associate members cup back until 1983/84. I'm not passing comment on how long its been called the JPT, but the competition existed long before that. That or I am horribly wrong and the carling cup is a very recent competition only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being specific to the JPT which has been awarded for nine seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stud mark of doom Posted 26 March, 2015 Share Posted 26 March, 2015 What is the highest attendance in the fa cup sponsored by Budweiser final I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Balls Posted 27 March, 2015 Share Posted 27 March, 2015 We could have sold so many more that day. Knew loads of people (part timers obviously) who couldn't get tickets. Also many older fans who don't go anymore who'd have liked to go. Great competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being specific to the JPT which has been awarded for nine seasons I'm going to start only counting Premier League records since Barclays began sponsoring it. That'll confuse a load of people and create a ridiculous history break where there is none... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also many older fans who don't go anymore who'd have liked to go. Great competition. When you look at the stadium config it's bonkers. Carlisle fans in the top tier behind the goal with 2 or 3 empty blocks either side for segregation, yet Saints fans taking up 2/3rds of the middle tier including areas in between Carlisle fans down the side, and Saints fans on the whole of the bottom 2 tiers on the opposite side. There were at least 4 completely empty blocks they could have used if they'd sorted the allocations out a bit sooner. Though I guess they have to have a range of prices and had to sell halfway line tickets to Carlisle, they could have limited it to one tier along the side at first... probably wouldn't resolve the gaps behind the goal though.

Dr Who? Posted 28 March, 2015 Share Posted 28 March, 2015 Do we not have the record, for the most of one set of fans, in a cup final, at Wembley (or the new Wembley)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
