As we all know there's a decent probability Town will be playing at Wembley come the 28th May. Naturally anyone who considers themselves slightly a Town fan will want to be there.
I am currently on a year abroad in America as part of my degree, which presents an annoying dilemma. My year ends and my visa expires two weeks before the final, but I do get a 30 day grace period where I can stay in the country. Ordinarily I'd stay as long as I absolutely could, to squeeze in a bit more travelling into what has already been an amazing year. However Town have never played at Wembley in my lifetime, and having sat through practically every home game of the 2010s I don't think I could forgive myself if I missed a trip to Wembley.
Do I book a ticket home just in time for the final, sacrificing two more weeks here by gambling they won't go up automatically or lose in the play off semis, or do I stay for two more weeks and risk not having the chance to see something Town haven't done in 23 years?
This would be a lot less annoying if Town were just cr4p like the majority of my 13 seasons as a fan. [Post edited 9 Mar 2023 6:56]

Posters asking about what the playoff in 2000 ticket requirements were, according to this thread it was 4 ticket stubs, which is what I remembered.
If we had an allocation of close to 40k seats am sure there would be some going spare.
1999/2000 Play off final by Bluish 10 Aug 2022 9:05I remember frantically trying to gather enough ticket stubs together to go. Seem to recall that there were tables laid out in the gym for processing the tickets at the time.

"I’d do America. You may not get the chance again once you get more responsibilities."
1. He's already been 'doing' America for a year and is still there. It's not like he's missing the chance.
2. With Town in a Wembley final you really might not get the chance again, responsibilities or otherwise. |

You will have spent a year there and you can go back for 2 weeks any time.
Get yourself home for Ipswich at Wembley.
Also, if you’re visa expires 2 weeks before the final; you will catch the play off semis. | | | |

Don't even consider coming back. Enjoy the states while you're there. We will go up automatically anyway, and probably find ourselves at Wembley sooner or later. |  |

I don’t think we will that’s the problem 😂
We’ve (I’ve) already told her we can’t plan the yearly school families camping trip in May, and put her mates bday on hold too…
I’m unselfish 99.9% of the year, but I’ve had to put foot down in this instance |  |

Obviously it was all done by post then and my hazy memory is you had to send in to the club the actual stubs from matches attended as proof? That season I'd not been able to go to many matches so sent in a bundle from the previous season just hoping......still remember opening the envelope in the hallway a few days later expecting a letter "...I'm afraid...we're sorry to say....etc", as I opened it saw a small shiny metallic strip and "Wemb" on a bit of card, was like a scene from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. | | | |

"Probably find ourselves at Wembley sooner or later" - good luck with that. We've been there once in 45 years. | |
