We must have taken that many for the full members cup final and that was when we weren’t doing much in the 2 nd Division/championship as is now.

Expand  

We took about 27/28 thousand.

The play Off final in 1992, we took about 28,000 - 32,000.

Don’t believe a word that comes from that account all summer. It’s absolute garbage designed by wheel in interactions from desperate fans.

The only honourable thing any of them could do is crawl into the sea and never come back out.

I don't even think there was that many as there were quite a few neutrals there i remember reading something about those finals being marketed across London to family groups etc. 

Tried to make it into the 'Peoples final' or something.

This kit prediction is not one you would pull out of thin air, so if it gets that right, I might give it a bit of weight.

FWIW, I was told the same info on all 3 kits (but asked to not share it).

Not read anything else they've put, will check it out - but sounds like they have some legitimate info on the kits (which will be proven or otherwise pretty shortly).

Anything on transfers or who this new head of recruitment or technical director is?

I'm not so sure. If you read through their recent tweets, they have got it right about season ticket prices days before it was officially announced, they said 5 days again that we will replace GB with a Head of Technical which is now being reported elsewhere, and probably has it right about the kits as others have heard the same. 

Here's hoping they are right about Venkys willing to sell too. 

An account I will be following and interesting I notice Unleaded follows them too so that's good enough for me as he's probably the best ITK we have on here.

ITK silly season is sadly warming up. Venkys are unfortunately going nowhere.

I hope the away kit is stripes rather than pinstripes a La 93/94 and 00/01, they could have chucked in some real nostalgia with a yellow and black 3rd kit. 
 

We’ve always had good seasons when wearing red and black as an away kit, fingers crossed that continues!

The 95/96 season was poor in the context of being champions. That red and black kit was seen as bad luck and we went back to the previous season's shirt.
