THE latest sales figures for Oxford United's Johnstone's Paint Trophy final at Wembley continue to show strong growth.

More than 27,000 had been purchased by this morning, with more than five weeks still remaining before they face Barnsley on Sunday, April 3.

It is closing in on the 33,000-mark, which was the U's turnout for their previous two Wembley visits - the 1986 Milk Cup final and Conference play-off final in 2010.

United have been given an allocation of 40,313.
