FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

Of course we will. It will fall to simple membership though. There will be plenty of uptake from parents of young kids who support City in the south east who've been to the Etihad once or twice.

They key is the club getting the selling criteria right. Not this over the top day by day shite that they do they do during the first week or two.

This is sufficient

Day 1 - cup scheme
Day 2 - ST holders
Day 3 - citizens members on a sliding scale for a couple of days
Day 5/6 - ST holders who want extras
Day 7 - open sale

Be interesting this one as we have never had a semi final just after a league cup final.
 
When will da FA confirm semi final time ? I’m aware we will be Saturday 6th April,it’s grand national day also should be a great day all round. 2-3pm kick off makes most sense. Long way to travel for us and Brighton.
 
Great draw, best could have hoped for.

Hopefully Watford smash Wolves as I am no fan of Wolves fans. They would be a pain at Wembley.


Clearly we need to get past BHA first.

Not sure the systems could cope with 20k plus applying over first couple of days but don’t disagree with your thinking

You’d almost think it was random.
 
Pep will be so fired up for this after what happened against Arsenal in his first season.

I think he is desperate to win the FA Cup in general.

Be interesting this one as we have never had a semi final just after a league cup final.
And just before two more trips to London for CL quarters and Palace.
 
Was hoping for one of the other two.
We're away at Brighton last game.
Knowing they could be in final May have allowed them to field a weakened side.
Got a feeling the league will go to the last day .
 
Too fucking expensive, being good. Going to have to give this one a miss unfortunately.
