Argyle finish 6th and Exeter finish 7th. Both win the play off semi's and meet at Wembley!

Exeter fans are already considering this scenario. One mentioned it to me today. He was quite concerned about how the police would cope with both sets of fans using the same trains. I didn't think there would be a problem considering there would be 4 of us for every one of them.

He thought it would be an 80,000 sell out. I wasn't convinced we could sell 70,000 tickets. lol!

laugh Not bad Mr Blight. Didn't I read somewhere that the KO time means real snags with train times back to West Country IF we get to Wembury. Coaches? Even 15K by coach = 250 charabancs all going past Excretia. Handbags

I can imagine Exeter winning the play offs and us finishing in 10th place.
We've been using up all our get out of jail free cards. Another loss we can be 4 points adrift, then it's all over.

Let's try to imagine Argyle playing well enough to finish in the playoffs first.

I think that has exhausted all the credible imagination I have in me for one day. Sleep

nope you would take your normal 6.5K, we would take our normal 3.5-4K and then there would be 35K dry weather/woodwork fans

or people supporting the football in the west country

4-1 dont make me laugh, same league doing well (in janner terms) and still not getting twice the number through the gates as we get, yet we seem to be there or there abouts :p

It was great, we were (at the time) the biggest club down there, at some grounds we out numbered home fans 4-1 (FGR) some of the grounds were really old school instead of the soul less shite horse shoes used nowadays

Best away game i went to was either St albans 2-1 win in the wettest ever day in my life or Oxford away PO semi, making it to the brand new wembley was a perfect night, Stanno scored and the away end went mental

6K in for a game against Grays, life was good and everything God (tissa) touched turned to gold......

Problem is due to so many years of great football and results its normal for the fan base to expect it to continue, thats why some are so pissed that we are in the basement having to play (and lose) to some of the worst teams on the planet, if we go up this season then we will be back were we should be and can press on :p

A sell out is 90,000 at the New Wemberley, but you wouldn't know that never having been there.

It would certainly be a fun day out were it to come to pass though I doubt the record crowd for the fixture would be threatened, the FA have gone bat shit with the prices which discourages the day trippers.

I was in the same boat last year. I had a long-standing work commitment in Stockholm on the weekend of the playoff final. I remember flying into Heathrow and going over Wembley while the game was in progress.

Luckily Argyle are shit so there were no worries there.

Been down to Plympton over the weekend and great news I hope - been told the stag weekend is actually 8th to 11th so Wembrey would be in the sights if we get there, you know what happens now!!

I'd imagine if we made the Final we'd sell in the region of 30,000 all up. What was the estimate of Argyle fans at the previous final in the 90's ?

Rubbish. Oxford United's average attendances never dropped much below 5,000 and they attracted five-figure crowds on a regular basis. When did City last do that? The likes of Shrewsbury, Hereford, York and Carlisle would all object to being described as smaller clubs than Exeter, too.
