Hypothetical Question Play Off Final Saints v Pompey 20:20 - Oct 1 with 1156 views | Southamptonfan | Bearing in mind there is a bubble when we play each other - Let's say we play Pompey in the play off final at Wembley, 38000 fans each. How would they manage it? Both sets of fans would be everywhere. Could they make 38 000 fans all take coaches? There wouldn't be enough parking bays. Has there ever been huge rivals playing in a final at Wembley. |  |

Everton v Liverpool as you say, there are fans of both in the same street, in the same family. And they speak the same. Although they don't like each other. |  |

The Drongo 130 probably does. Got it on ‘ignore member’ so won’t be able to see if it replies 🙂 |  |

So what do you think they would do, if 90000 Saints and Pompey fans were travelling to London? Let everyone make their own way? [Post edited 2 Oct 0:46]

It was completely different back then, that final was post Hillsbrough and there was a sense of one big togetherness. It really isnt the same now. Anfield derbies are fairly sterile with most Liverpool fans having no recognisable rivalry with Everton fans. Everton fans are kept in afterwards as well which is a bit odd, presumably to let the tourists get home easier. At the same time, the Goodison derbies, the same police force allow Liverpool fans to leave at the same time as blues (as they should). If there was now a Cup final with the two teams, I wouldnt know what the atmosphere would be like. As fan bases, we are very different. |  | |  |

I went to the Checkatrade final for Pompey v Sunderland a few years ago. At Waterloo on the way home, Pompey fans were really struggling to work out how the trains home worked. One group asked me would the Basingstoke train be going via Fareham. It made my day! |  | |  |
