Am I the only one who can't stand that Wembley 99 kit?

Am I the only one who can't stand that kit?

I never liked it, but oddly like the current version of it.

 

[gazinho]

Anyone know what kind of allocation the two sides will actually get? Usually around 30k isn’t it? But I knows loads get given to sponsors etc

30500 in 2023
33035 in 2024

Pretty sure we had the same end for both so not sure why there's a couple of thousand discrepancy

The TV blackout stops it being 3 on Saturday

12:30?

Never going to happen with people on the cup scheme.

Exactly, they advertise the cup scheme as being 'first in line' for semi and final. Maybe they will change the criteria after cup schemers have had first dibs. Incidentally, how many are on the cup scheme ?

And bizarrely just over 29000 for Watford which was increased to about 31500. Maybe they wanted less in neutrals hands for the 2 x Derby games.

I think it has something to do with the middle tier now being sold openly rather than the former 'club wembley' thing.

Hearing that the first 20,000 tickets for the final are going to be offered to fans who purchased a semi final ticket.
About time City did something to rewards fans loyality.

Reward fans loyalty?

You mean people like me who attended every FA.Cup game this season apart from the Semi Final?

Exactly, this is bullshit. First of all there must of been a large portion who weren't on the cup scheme at Wembley yesterday so no way they'll get priority over those on the scheme & also the club should have stated in the criteria for the semi that this would be the case

Surely if you had enough points for Bournemouth away in the cup you will be high enough in points to get a final ticket after the initial 20000 have been sold.

tickets up from £169 on ticketmaster

Oh I'll get a ticket no problem

I was just irritated by the use of "loyalty" in the original post.

Even v Gillingham I disliked that kit with its memories of the pissing rain, surrounded by Gillingham fans in a decaying stadium.
It's the F.A. Cup Final, City should play in sky blue.

Is this true?

 

[bennyboy]

I wonder who keeps the geeene man end.

I'd be astounded if it is. They surely wouldn't introduce something like that on a whim and would have to announce that's what they would do at the start of a season as it's totally changing the goalposts.

Bollocks for many reason. We sold nearly 30 thousand yesterday so why would only 20 get that "loyalty" gesture.
Not very loyal to the remaining 10k or so is it. We also have a cup scheme in place which has always rewarded loyalty for finals. Going to them early rounds, even slogging it to Bournemouth on Mothers Day but missing out on the semi wouldn't go down well. The club get many things wrong with ticketing, I can't see them getting it this wrong

Said it in the forest chat. Those who attended yesterday should be getting first dibs on tickets.

Maybe the other 10 were on the cup scheme

Looks like what it is. A 3rd division away kit
