SAINTS are set to turn Wembley into a home ground for the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy final.
But there could still be 25,000 empty seats for the game against League One rivals Carlisle due to segregation reasons.
Just over 44,000 supporters will follow Alan Pardew’s men to the home of football on March 28.
It will be the largest amount of Saints fans to ever watch a game involving the club.
It is also about 20,000 more than their opponents, Carlisle, are due to take.
Saints have taken the maximum allocation allowed at the stadium.
The Football League confirmed to the Daily Echo yesterday that, due to segregation reasons, no club can receive more than just over 44,000.
No tickets will be available on the day.
The Cumbrians have been allocated 24,506 tickets for the match by the Football League.
