Your right about Fulham supporters being like yank spectator types. Their wankers no identity, midddle class commi scum.
Fulham are a good club and their supporters are decent human beings. You of course wouldn’t know what that is.

I'm curious if he/she has ever been to a sports match in the US, Aftab.

I went to see the Raiders play many years ago in the NFL. They were as far removed from the 'no identity, yank spectator type'(whatever that means) as you could possibly get.

I'd imagine Fulham supporters have a common identify; Fulham supporters.

Spoke to Wembley about some hospitality tickets this morning, and they're being deluged by requests from Villa fans.  Fulham fans, not nearly as much apparently.

Pretty sure at previous play off finals Club Wembley (the middle tier) has been half empty for many games.

What was the attendance last year?

Can see Villa overspill in that area easily.
Huddersfield v Reading
76,682

Previous two, Sheff Weds-Hull only got to 70k which surprised me.

Boro Norwich was 85k which also surprised me.

I'd imagine given they're selling blocks that Wembley will leave the Fulham ones right next to the Villa section to the end. If Fulham can't sell them they'll give them to us.

Can see us taking 40k + in the end with also a decent chunk in the posh middle tier. Fulham 30k ish.#

So don't really see the panic for tickets, if you really want one you'll get one (might have to pay stupid amount but that's what happens for Cup finals) as likely to be close to 50k Villa in all parts of the ground on the day.
Hull only sold around 25k, Wednesday had about 40k.
The highest ever for a Championship play off final was Derby v QPR, 87k+

Some blocks haven't been released yet or have only been partly released. I reckon we've sold around 23,000.

Exactly. It's on the villa website that they will be released block by block so while the numbers left appear to be low, tickets haven't been released for a good chunk of the ground yet. Not sure why they do it like this though and just not open the whole of the allocation to those who can buy seats.   

I would guess it's because if there's any shortfall in ticket sales better to have a full block and an empty one that two that are half-full. This will help segregation and also mean that if one club sells more than another, extra tickets can be made available for the one who's sold out.

No - It's because they are trying to ensure that there is always availability across the spectrum, rather than there being limited options on priced/categories.

I'm very supportive of the ticket office but I don't think they've covered themselves in glory this time around. Blocks are popping up all over the place for purchase at random times. It should have been made available across the board on a first come, first serve basis. I can half live with perhaps the last blocks on one side being kept back for segregation but in doing so, you would be holding back prime seats.

I may be wrong

It's taken a long time coming Clumpy but at last.....Spot on me old pal.

My pleasure Boreneck.

They are?

I’ve always found Fulham supporters to be pretty decent folk on my trips there but I didn’t know that.

Utter scum. Apart from The Archers.
