FA Cup Final | Crystal Palace (N) | Sat 17 May 4:30pm

[remember arthur mann]

Always thought it was the last game of the season.

 

[fitzy blue]

I think we should recreate the Blues Brothers away day at Palace in 1990 for the final.

Imagine hundreds of suited up Blues walking down Wembley Way.

The media would be in meltdown.

If that could be organised back then (in fact how was it fcking organised?) I'm sure it can be done now.

All together now..."Everybody needs some body"

Maybe skip the suits.
Fedora and sunglasses to go with our City shirts.
Great memories of that day with the Palace fans.

No, the FA’s “football community” get about 20,000 cup final tickets, clubs no more than 30,000 at best

Ok fair enough, that’s still be your calculations 80 thousand mate, still 10 thousand short of full capacity btw.

seems to be plenty available here.... there was for the semi-final (which was evident on Sunday).

How the fuck do they get them so early?

 

[citymad]

Does anyone think we might get more tickets for this, like pushing towards 36 or even 37 thousand.

Unlikely based on Sundays turn out.

 

[Originals]

Surely this game has to be played Saturday 3pm as all the other games have been moved to suit the FA cup

 

[Fordyboy46]

31,500 allocation I think

And it's Eurovision later, the beeb are pushing for a 3pm start

It's no problem getting a ticket if you have deep pockets. Live football tickets already selling them behind the goals for £300 each. Could do with our friends at the BBC reporting why genuine fans can't get tickets but this lot can sell them even before they are on sale to fans. Empty seats is easier to report on though.

Pity that I don’t have any scouse friends, they’d easily get me in, probably for free

They don’t. They take orders then see if they can access the tickets to honour the bookings

Always thought it was 25k?

We actually wanted Palace to win the cup that year!

I see the Wembley hotels are bumping up prices to eye watering levels. I thought us playing a London based team would free up space so drop the prices, sadly not.

We booked our usual Travelodge (Kings Cross Royal Scot), with cancellation option and a midday check in for £147.

 

[Etihad]

Tbf even if it kicked off at 5 you would get back for the one of the many encores he will be playing :)

I once saw the Boss, in Crystal Palace park funnily enough. It went on for HOURS.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

Many thanks. Our fan base, in general, are great but obviously have a few dickheads. We do create a good atmosphere so should be a good day. I agree about 1990 but when you are playing Utd with a ref from Brighton you don’t stand much chance! Big Mal still loved, by most, at Palace. He changed the whole culture of the club including nickname and colours. I must say we have got ourselves a very good manager and may struggle to hold on to him unfortunately.

Should be a good day mate

My sister and her husband have season tickets just behind the dugouts at Selhurst Park and they were both at Wembley on Saturday

Funny because she's actually a City fan and was there supporting City for all our previous Finals at the new Wembley

Naturally her husband's been trying to convert her but as our dad attended the 1956 Final he's fighting a losing battle.

Palace have been our bogey team (especially at the Etihad) in recent years so we won't be taking anything for granted.

I’ve seen him twice, his show is at least three hours. I don’t know how he does it.

 

[WestGorton]

Really looking forward to the match. I lived in Thornton Heath for a few weeks so have a soft spot for Palace. Tesco had great reduced cooked chicken. However not enough to hope they beat us.....

 

[uwerosler28]

530 would be perfect

Watch City win the cup then make your way out into the summer evening in one of the world’s great cities, endless possibilities

530 is bad news of course if you wanna be tucked up in bed with your horlicks by half nine moaning about people swearing on the concourse but most people don’t

Football has a wide variety of fans as do our great club, not everyone falls into your definition of a great day. Families taking young children would like to be able to get them home at a reasonable time and couldn't give a fuck about you going on the piss in London afterwards.

 

[blue by birth]

Where are you hearing this? Would be a controversial decision by the club. But can see it happening…

It was all over the Southportctid fanzine...

Always thought it was the last game of the season.

It used to be. Until the Fa, in their infinite wisdom(!) slapped it right in a week before the end of the PL campaign.

Note had we still been in CL this year we would have been pksying the semi after our FA Cup Semi, it's always been the other way round.

BTW I have not a scooby doo why the FA Cup final date changed....!!
