It is likely that County will be watched by the biggest crowd since they played Spurs at WHL on 21st January, 1959. Let's hope for a better result.

38,948 in the end.

Spurs are clearly on the slide. It was 50,561 last time we played them away.

Cheaper tickets in 1959 though.

Think I read somewhere we had the biggest away following at Wembley since Spurs started playing there. Would be great if true.

It isn't because Wimbledon sold out.

It'll almost certainly be true, the allocations for the FA Cup are a bigger percentage than Premier League or Champions League. Though 10% of 90k is more than 15% of 51k they haven't given the away teams an allocation beyond block 117 in the Premier League because of their season ticket holders and they don't get to use the full capacity.

Unless they had a big away following for an EFL Cup game we will have had the largest allocation... just checking...

Barnsley and West Ham both played at Wembley for the EFL Cup, just checking their sites for allocation news.

23926 attendance for Barnsley, 4986 away allocation. https://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/news/2017/ ... -info-129/

West Ham got 4800 tickets: https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/201 ... -confirmed

Wimbledon sold out their 7550 allocation. Don't know how many you chaps brought in total. However, their's was on a Saturday, impressive but 7k+ mid-week for the distance you had to cover is very impressive.

7,200 in the away end. More in the home end including my son-in-law who is working in London this week.

Doh, keep forgetting they were drawn at Wembley, possibly because I didn't bother watching it as a foregone conclusion.

That's what MF said in post-match interview.

Think honestly if it was at WHL we would have brought 1500 tops think Wembley still has a big pull

Think we would have brought more than that UTP. After all we took 1600 to WBA in the League Cup. Personally I would have preferred WHL because of its history, and I'd already been to Wembley twice before.
