I think it’s cos I am an FOC in safe standing, no concessions thereI' agree the FA are real cunts, but I got an FOC concession.

And what's different this year is that it's only three weeks between semis and final, with both potentially falling within the same pay cycle for many people.I can't tell you how easy I find it, as someone who has always gone to games more regularly than almost anyone I know, to let jibes about attendance not get to me.
Any season card holder at any club who has done even an away or two knows how expensive being a fan is these days. I wouldn't be giving any rival stick for not forking out £200 for a semi-final when they might be back again in a month.
I'm sure Forest fans - like Brighton, Villa, Watford, Sheffield United, Wigan and so on - will enjoy their big days. Me and my old man have been down so often we know which local pubs do the best pints.
i'm amazed blues still listen to this anti city radio stationHeard it ! They moved on to another subject straight away. When the facts are stated clearly they know they won’t get some cartel fan coming on saying we can’t sell out cause we are plastic.
yepIt’s being taken off sale permanently ?
that Leicester one was a great day out. first game back after covid with full capacity, felt like every man an his dog went for a piss upNothing can be as awful as the turn out against leicester - charity shield.
Well. Im going and 27k is a decent turnout .
Its nottingham forest big day out with loads of one game a decade supporters in their end.
We should have gave them our empty blocks . lets be honest, they wont be going to wembley 28 times in the next 14 years.
Let everyone crow on about empty seats,blah blah,
33k in the old 2nd divison...... fukin end of.
Enjoy the game eveyone
But it's not a fucking final is it FFS. Its another trip to Etihad South for the 30th time since 2011. Its their first trip for a non-playoff match since 1991. I posted the figures yesterday, nearly 1,000,000 Blues will have made the trip to Wembley since 2011, if we make the final.Sorry, many would have gone or will go if it's a final, which would cost more, so it can't be money for many. I accept many can't afford this or most PL matches hence why home FA Cup matches sell out with concessionary pricing, but many can afford it, but as I say, can't be bothered. Same price tickets for Forest fans ! It is what it is
Is there still availability at wealdstone? Im doing the same.Right, just wondering what filling to put in my sandwiches for the drive be back from Wembley?!
Booked on Wealdstone FC car park for £7.50. 1 X £45 ticket in the Gods as my son is working so can’t go, couple of beers and a burger at Wealdstone, jump on the tube, not sure of the cost, £5 or £6, might get a pint on the concourse at £8? and, my mates driving his company car, so no petrol costs.
So, will cost me £80 at the most.
Come on City….
Shocking attitude..I will follow City always to Wembley and sorry it's always a big day out,you sound and I fear our fanbase too is becoming like the arrogant united or dipper fans,myself never C.T I.D.But it's not a fucking final is it FFS.

For my sins I live in Leicester. East Midlands news has wall to wall coverage of "Wembley Fever" gripping Nottm. Their owner has given away 1,000 Forest shirts, with players handing them out at schools. There's Wembley cakes, towns decked in Forest colours, street parties and special ales being brewed. There's football specials laid on, convoys of coaches, special screenings on big screens. Face painting. Garden parties.
You simply cannot compare our turn out compared to theirs. It's fucking ridiculous. This is a big deal for their city and its only the Semi-Final.
It's not such a big deal for us, it's as simple as that.
Get over it.
It's also that many want to go but cannot afford to go twice in a couple of weeks. If they go to semi they miss the final if we get there. Banking on a win for many. If we lose then they have missed the semi which is on live tv anyway. If we win Hunky dory!But it's not a fucking final is it FFS. Its another trip to Etihad South for the 30th time since 2011.

you are lucky that you can prioritise city over anything else in your life a lot of people can't and i'm certainly one of thoseShocking attitude..I will follow City always to Wembley and sorry it's always a big day out,you sound and I fear our fanbase too is becoming like the arrogant united or dipper fans,myself never C.T I.D.
So were you there on Tuesday ..will you be there on Sunday...are you a season ticket holder..Do you attend home games on a regular basis..So about 27500 sold.
Makes you wonder what is the point, totally demoralising, We have to be the worst fan base in English football. City Till I Die, subject to contract.
I'd say you're more likely to find arrogance in your neck of the woods.Shocking attitude..I will follow City always to Wembley and sorry it's always a big day out,you sound and I fear our fanbase too is becoming like the arrogant united or dipper fans,myself never C.T I.D.
Get to fuck with that shit.Shocking attitude..I will follow City always to Wembley and sorry it's always a big day out,you sound and I fear our fanbase too is becoming like the arrogant united or dipper fans,myself never C.T I.D.
