Wembley

Congratulations on a great achievement in getting to the play off final. I hope you go all the way because you deserve it and also it'll mean that I can see Swindon at the Pirelli next season.

I've been lucky enough to see my heroes twice at the new Wembley, in the League 1 play offs v Millwall and the JPT final against Chesterfield, lost both. I was in Level 2, around Block 228, excellent view and worth paying a bit extra rather than being in Level 1. Bear in mind that the facilities are specific to each Level, I had some mates in Level 1 and although I could wave to them I couldn't have a beer with them which was a bit of a blow.

If you're able to go it will be an unforgettable experience, especially if you win.

The very best of luck to you all.

Thanks Don.

As you would expect I am new to this Wembley experience and would be grateful if you or anyone can shed any light on my questions;

- Why do we only get 21,000 tickets in a 90,000 capacity stadium? We probably won't sell 21,000 (and the population of Burton could fit in Wembley with 30,000 seats to spare anyway) but I am just curious.

- We are in the West End and presumably Fleetwood are on the East Side (behind each goal). Who sits on the sides? Why aren't the smaller clubs allocated the seats on the side of the pitch?

Otep if you google wembley stadium you will get to see the lay out and what sort of view you get for your money ,then when you go in to buy online it will tell you what seats are still available .You dont have to go behind the goal ,but it comes at a cost , personally i would go with level 2 as our swindon friend has suggested , hope that helps m8 .

Another thought...if you're driving consider alternatives to the official Stadium parking. There was gridlock there after the JPT final in 2012 which resulted in a 2 hour wait for some of my mates. There are plenty of options close by with parkatmyhouse, probably cheaper too.
