37000 sales for a game in London is phenomenal. I don’t care who gets em.

Strange today . Wealdstone normally packed but only 2 coaches and a few minibuses.(bloke said we about 250 booked in) I’m sure we normally have about 1000 blues. To say we sold 37000 it didn’t seem very visible around the ground , obviously a huge percentage are going to outside sources

Atmosphere was alright today at Wembley, I thought we were on Par with the Chelsea fans, although we were obviously really loud after we scored.

It's a really awkward ground to try and create an atmosphere at imo, we absolutely tried our best.

6/10

I thought behind the goal was excellent, pretty consistent, although I noted many many times that there were 2 or 3 different songs going at the same time.
 
Consistent singing behind the goal in block 111 safe standing. Didn't really seen to spread too well across our end in the first hald, though no worse than Chelsea, but picked up in the second and was of course brilliant after the goal. Similar issues to the Etihad where songs struggle to travel across tiers but very loud on the occasions they do.

Not a game to complain about the tourists in my opinion, without them it would have been half empty. If anything, this is exactly the sort of game the club should be encouraging new fans and tourists to come to when it's clear it won't sell out to ST holders and Members on criteria.

Overall a typical Wembley semi final atmosphere and a good day out.

Seemed very quiet everywhere, we’re in the Premier Inn next to the stadium and bar was half empty before the game, normally it’s packed. In Block 120 only half a dozen of us singing, most didn’t know any of the songs. But we won, so still a decent day out

Shame although I wasn't in London yesterday that we didn't do Wealdstone justice.

I've noticed they have had Coventry there before and I assume will today.

Hopefully we'll as a regular Wembley attenders get the final gig there if they beat the rags later.
 
Pretty good atmosphere where we were in 505. Passions running high. Looked like it was going to kick off over something at one point.
 
I was in 116.
Loads of Americans, Eastern Europeans etc... just treating it like a visit to a show.
The girl and mum in front of me started to film when we scored and were taking selfies when we won trying to get the crowd in the pic!

Funniest part was at the tube station, after the game, when a Chelsea 'tourist' sang 'Let's go Chelsea, let's go!!!'
Thought he was going to get a slap off the real Chavs!
He was lucky; he got a STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I see that daft slag was in attendance again. Putt your phone away, shut up and watch the game.
 
It wasn’t our best atmosphere for an FA Cup semi-final but it wasn’t our worst either.
Not too bad in block 111 but I think songs tend to travel better from the upper tier at Wembley. There was one touristy bloke - wearing City colours - on our row who had the biggest camera I think I’ve ever seen. Fuck knows how much it cost him. Anyway, he was complaining that we were too bunched up on our row. I told him “Mate, if we score you’re getting squashed”. I didn’t mean it but that’s exactly what did happen when we scored. The young pup next to me went flying into me, I sent my mate flying, who in turn went flying into touristy camera bloke and we all ended up in a heap on the floor. My right side is fucking painful today!
 
I was in 519 and it was full of tourists and a few Chelsea fans also it was really strange. Most of them didn’t even look interested in the match and just sat on the their phones it was a strange atmosphere in that block.

That's what it's all about. Hugging complete strangers and thinking you only have about three seconds to live when a goal like that goes in. I remember being squashed at Old Trafford and ending up with someone's Vick's Vapour spray in my eye when Rosler scored there in the FA Cup. Wouldn't change those moments for anything.
 
We were in 516 and not a bad atmosphere. We're only 5-6 games a season citizens from the Midlands so not hardcore fans, but it seemed to me that most people were proper fans. Lots of family groups, mom and 2 teen lads next to us, family of 6 across 3 generations below us. Lots of singing led by a few proper FOC's around us. My wife was amazed by one of them about 70 who never stopped, turning round to egg people on, leading the choir -as it were. Made a big difference, so my cap is doffed fella. 2 yampy young oriental girls constantly taking pics and pouting near the end of a row, at half time and after the game (my lad said that's for Instagram. Er OK then!!)
