Doesn't matter, surely? You claim that 32k isn't enough, so even if no ST holders go, there'd be plenty to fill their places, cos they don't get a chance to normally!
Your massive waiting list is about as real as our 250k database!
So why was Cardiffs attendance 7000 against Huddersfield but needed more tickets for the final?

We didn't need any more tickets than our allocation though, We only just sold out, tickets were on general sale the week before, my mate got one on the Thursday before the game, in fact there was worry that when the club put them on general sale Liverpool fans were going to travel down and buy them.
We never needed more than our allocation, anyone who says otherwise is bullshiting where as you on the other hand are saying your allocation is not enough but your attendances dont back that up.

The last Swansea wembley following was 43k and that was when they were averaging 15k crowds, now the average is 20k.....

For example we went there 4 times in 4 years, when it came to the Carling Cup final some people fucked it off
and prefered to put their money towards their season ticket.
Plus the day trippers drop off one by one cos the novelty had worn off.

You only have to look at Chelsea, they have been there so many times they are struggling to shift the tickets and its on their doorstep.

If they sell out instantly I think it will give a fair indication of the demand.

But that's your exact point isn't it? Looking at the attendances of early rounds of the cup and then questioning the support base if it didnt sell out.
I just gave you a link to the world most well supported club with 30,000 empty seats for their cup match and are notorious for their season ticket waiting list.

Not at all. My point was about Swansea City and their waiting list.
I'm quite happy to believe there is one, just not as big as you'd like us to think.

But that is now based on nothing other than a pure guess as I've proved that attendances in early rounds of the cup have no baring on support - hence man united having 30,000 empty seats.

You'll be amazed how many freebies, sponsorship and promotion tickets are given out. Same with the FA Cup final a few years ago with us. Almost as many neutrals there as club supporters..

That's ridiculous, a third of the stadium is unavailable to either set of supporters.
