Just in case we win the quarter final...

And not wanting to put a jinx on it, but would the semi-final be likely to be all-ticket? And what would the arrangements be? I was just thinking it would be a pity if any season ticket holders or regular supporters missed out.

Lovely problem to have.

If, and we're some way off, we face this then season ticket holders generally get a few days to get a ticket before they go on general sale.

Putting this here now. If we have a home QF or indeed SF. Cap the away fans on the away end. No club left is big enough to bring more than 1000

If we were at home to Halifax or York in a semi, they're both capable of topping 1000 if they're scenting Wembley.

That's true but the home support would increase proportionately too.
If any fans are to miss out because demand exceeds supply it has to be the away contingent surely.

We'd have a months prep for the game, home fans should only have access to tickets with previous history (lets be honest if you didnt go Wrexham, or have never been to a home game in the last 3 years, I'd be very shocked)

I don't think it's a case of that. It's more about giving our fans the best chance to support our team. The capacity in the away end is supposed to be 1400+ and that should have to be it.

I presume semi finals with one legs were brought in if not last season the season before due to Covid. Really should be two legged in my opinion also straight to penalties  without extra time is a touch extreme with a fair bit at stake for  the winners  ie a wembley  final.

For comparison, Bromley v York drew a semi-final crowd of 4,423 last season. At a guess, I would say we'd sell out against York in the semis with our current capacity.
