Is that strictly true thought, the reallity is it will generally be the same 3000 at spurs, at fulham at palace, and 35000+ season ticket holders with just the semi final, and spurs at home to add, and loads of season ticket holders dont bother with the champions league and there were thousands of season ticket holders who swerved the league cup final. I accept the expense is too much, but i do feel we have a real apathetic fan base compared to some. The truth is there will be thousands of tickets priced at 30 quid at wembley, so its no more expensive than a normal away day if you really wanted to go, truth is there are 1000''s who just cannot be arsed.

We just don’t have as big a fan base. United and Liverpool could sell out their Wembley allocations twice over with different fans coming from all over the country/world. Wembley finals for Chelsea and Arsenal are like home games. This is our 13th trip to Wembley (taking away the Spurs games) in 8 seasons. No other club has come close in recent years to that other than those mentioned. I think generally it’s season ticket holders who take up the slack for most of these games. The extended fan base who don’t go regularly have gotten out of the habit so are harder to entice back.

It might sell out yet anyway. Time will tell.

you could be right, but looking on facebook etc and social media, its more a cannot be arsed attitude. Its not about Wembley for me, its about City being on the brink of history, everything in place, we should be bouncing for it, to get the team over the line. Win 4 trophies, we can dine out on it forever.

The club should have helped the fans on this one though, that would be a great gesture, but doesnt look forthcoming.

Well I’m happy to add my name to the can’t be arsed list. No interest whatsoever in traipsing to Wembley for a semi, if we’d got the scum then I’d be there but not a prayer for Brighton.

Demand is better than i thought.
we've got a 48 seater coach almost sold for this one, whereas the charity shield we hardly had enough for mini bus!
it will be a fairly good turnout!
 
“Tell me grandad about the famous Man City team that won the quadruple for the only time in history. My Dad tells me you were alive then!!”. “Yes jimmy I was”. “Wow, Grandad youwere a fan and you were so lucky to be able to go to all those games like at Wembley or Madrid!!” “No Jimmy - I could have gone but I watched it on the TV instead”. “Oh..... Nana.. - will you take me to the park please?”

I’ve got better things to spend my money on, feeding and clothing my kids etc, and I also don’t agree with FA Cup semis being at Wembley.
 
I'm really undecided. I really felt the officials in the Arsenal semi a couple of years ago had the outcome decided before the game and swore I'd never go there again for a semi.

I'm also looking at the games (and possible games) coming up/ going on sale in the next few weeks and out of all of them if I have to miss one, this could be it.

Doesn't feel right though after all the years of never thinking we'd get near the place.
