As if…ffs….you lot are insane
In the FA Cup final both get around 20,000 each the other 40,000 plus are sold to neutrals and County FAs also get a large allocation.
The number of tickets allocated to each club for League Cup final are far more than for the FA Cup. There were more Swansea fans at Wembley for the Bradford City final than Cardiff had for the Portsmouth final.

Sure, well we sold out v Blackpool and Liverpool, they took there full allocation also. Laughable in Blackpool’s case as I spoke to fans of almost every northern outpost that day. You telling me reading, 20 miles from the shithole, couldn’t sell 38,000 for a playoff final? We never had the opportunity to have unsold tickets from other clubs as they always sold out. Obv we sold out v Barnsley for our first visit, I went to that one.

When Toshack side went to Old Trafford in the first couple of weeks after promotion. We had one end and it was packed out. Everyone sang the Welsh national anthem before kick off and the rest of OT applauded fair play,
No tickets in those days, you just turned up and paid, (cash, no plastic either!)
We lost 1 0 to a Gary Birtles goal, the only bloody goal he scored for them I think !

I remember that game well, got locked outside and ended up in hospital with 20 stitches in my head... beaten up by Maggies Boot Boys who thought it would be fun to ride through us on horse back hitting us with truncheons!!!

Mansfield away circa 2002 one of those weird followings when we turned up in big numbers the game got called off and we all got miscombobulated in Mansfield as the Police tried breaking us all up and wanted us to feck off to Nottingham out of Mansfield with the majority of us 90-100 Jacks going to Nottingham on the lash and getting held back as Forest were playing Barnsley at home as the 30 boys in 2 mini buses slipped through the net and decided going home via Canton as we all the know the story there. It would have been a load different if we are left together
Gary Jack would give a better account of this day I was on his coach

Another game I recall well. Mate of mine had his studded leather belt taken off him before the game by the police. The copper ran after him with it in his hand after the game saying he had been looking for him for ages to get it back to him. I remember the Birtles goal, right in front of us top corner. Def his first goal for them or first for ages.
Should have won that day.

Right behind the goal that day Birtles scored and Gary Bailey saved an identical Robbie James effort 2nd half
Very unpleasant chanting that day - Utd fans Aberfan and some Swans responding with Munich - not nice

Liverpool - the Shankly game, literally couldn't move and loads locked out
Yes, that was a huge following, what a mob out that day too. I was locked out and couldn't get in as it was pay on the day then. Not sure how many we took, I heard 12k, but I doubt that.

Bury away was a corker. Went with a mate of mine who is a Bristol City fan and was doing all 92 league grounds. We were in the home end. I said to him I can’t be having this, plus it will be much more fun in our end. So we asked a steward that we were in the wrong end……how did you get these was the question then took us out the ground - we thought we were being kicked out before a ball was kicked. Fortunately he took us in to our end!

Were you there by the Shankly gates, when Thatchers bouncers charged on horseback with truncheons swinging? I guess i moved quicker than you that day.
My mistake, I thought you were referring to the Liverpool game.

Spot on, I was with my now lovely wife and a couple of her brothers after the game, we had to high tail it back to the bus as they were chasing us, they caught up with some of my fellow passengers outside the bus, I managed to force myself back off the bus to help and we all got back on safely and away we went.

How? We sold out Wembley every time, the final v Pompey is still the record attendance I believe. I was at the Carlisle game here, hardly everywhere were you, the south end of st Mary street you mean yeah? It always amazed me back in the day how we would take twice what you brought to us.
Swans at Onion Park 1980 or 81 6000 Jack's Also swans fans all around your ground .. I'm sure someone can accommodate me and post a video of that game ... Jack's jumping up and down all over the place

I've been to most massive away support with us ,but the one that stands out was Liverpool we could have filled the anfield Rd end on our own which was thousands . We were everywhere that day
