FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

[Tim of the Oak]

We would have got less for Millwall. Plenty with kids wouldn't want their day ruined by the inevitable "antics" 'Wall would endeavour to engage in. I wouldn't take my lad.

That’s my thoughts too. We’d get a few more wannabe gangsters but a lot less families going.

 

[scousemanc]

Loads of really good reasons there for not going, although "I can't be arsed" should have been included.

Yes that may be a reason but there are plenty of reasons for not going that go beyond that

Most fans can't afford it, all games should £25 maximum for every club. The money they get from match day tickets is a drop in the ocean compared to TV money and sponsorship.

I was sat in the car with my lad listening to their QF penalties. Told him he wouldn't be going if we got Millwall in the semi. Can't be arsed with any more worry than necessary when taking him to any match, especially to Wembley and playing them would have been a fucking nightmare off the pitch.

The ticket price is only a small part of it. Travel/hotel/drink/food etc. All been covered in the thread.Lots of Blues can’t afford it.

Villa Park and Hillsborough are not fit for purpose nowadays. What stadia would be suitable for the semi-finals?

Very few.

Plenty in London including the Emirates, London Stadium, New White Hart Lane. Maybe even Stamford Bridge? Not many elsewhere apart from the Etihad, Old Trafford, Anfield, Elland Road (at a pinch), and St James's Park?

Millennium Stadium, Cardiff ? Twickenham ?

 

[Thomas Hearns]

Tickets bought, can’t wait.

 

[paulchapo]

Any idea why they have changed us to the East side instead of the West side of the stadium? As we seem to be there quite often these days why can't they let us stay with the end we are familiar with to help with pubs, booking hotels etcetera?

Villa Park - still a good stadium and was a great venue for the 2012 Community Shield

Works gonna drag like a seals arse this week. Looking forward to Spoons breakfast at Parrs Wood and then getting on the road to Watford, few pints down there and train over to Wembley.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

2 More, me driving down to Abingdon early Saturday morning probably about 6am start then to Wembley with my lad.

 

[M18CTID]

On the 7.15am train from Piccadilly. ETA Euston 9.21am. Going to be a long arse day and was happy to stay off the alcohol until I got down there but a mate has other ideas and is bringing a bottle of Grey Goose for the train journey. I'll be fucked by 11 at this rate!

 

[Silva's Magic Boot]

4 of us driving down from Manchester Saturday morning, staying over in Edgeware after.
3rd trip to Wembley this season for 2 of us, 1 has only been before for 2017 semi and the others first visit to Wembley since 2011.
Great opportunity for those who've missed out on Wembley tickets previously this.
Can't wait for Saturday and being on the piss with 20k other blues.
