Tonight’s attendance?

[Jimmydee]

Has the demand of pre booked tickets forced the opening of other stands for tonight’s game?
What’s the expected attendance?

[Nudga]

Still loads of tickets left in East and South stand

[Fal]

Not a clue how many Stockport have sold

Read somewhere they'd sold 600

  Not a great crowd Expected, TV has killed the competition especially at this time of the year it is too easy to watch in the warm comfort of your own home.
  Even those who hate the competition and have stayed away since u21s teams entered will be watching.
  And the Stockport fans can avoid a poor M62  journey at tea time, and the usual road closures on the way back

[VivaRovers]

...TV has killed the competition...

It's not TV that has killed the competition... last time we reached this stage it was televised.

...even those who hate the competition and have stayed away since u21s teams entered will be watching...

Some might... myself and many others won't be.

Same, I’m more interested in the 3 League 1 games happening tonight

[Chris Black come back]

Guessing but I think around 4k.

  Viva, it might have been, but every game for every club has been televised and it is just another TV programme now, there is no need to put yourself out now.

I won't be going and I wouldn't be watching either even if I had the means to do so.

[Bentley Bullet]

I'll be watching it on my laptop, nice and warm, sprawled out on the sofa, clad in just my Rovers thong and a pint in my hand.

[bpoolrover]

After seeing the line up it’s probably a good job it’s a low attendance, hope I am wrong thou

[goalkick]

What is the line up please?

[drfcsteve]

Seems the club was 100% correct in only opening two stands despite the moans on here about it.

[Padge_DRFC]

Someone laughed when I dismissed 9000+ home fans. 9000 won't even got to Wembley for this trophy

Why? WE took twice that  last time

There was 12,000 home fans in v Crewe last time. Looks to be 3000 home fans tonight.

When we won against Bristol Rovers it was a record attendance for the trophy

The record attendance for the final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff was 59,024, set in the 2007 final between Bristol Rovers and Doncaster Rovers

[TonySoprano]

Let's be honest, its a joke of a competition now ever since the u21 teams entered.

I didnt laugh at you but I thought we'd get 10k in.  How wrong could I be haha

[Usher wide.]

That’s what this club needs, proper supporters.

I hope the dog nips your bollox & knocks your beer over.

I'll agree as long as you keep the words at The Millennium Stadium in it .... Because the highest attendance before that was ....

Wolverhampton Wanderers won the 1988 Sherpa Van Trophy final 2-0 against Burnley on May 29, 1988, at Wembley Stadium. Goals from Andy Mutch and Robbie Dennison in front of 80,841 fans sealed the win for Wolves, capping a successful season where they were also Fourth Division champions.


There can't be many who attended both , but I'm pleased to say I did

*** I think even the Wolves Burnley attendance was beaten a few years back as well
