Always thought it was 25k?

Sure it was 31k last year

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Sure it was 31k last year

I think we got extra both games against the Rags finals

 

[M18CTID]

Hopefully, we'll be able to sell out our allocation.

We’ll sell out no problem.

 

[Axel Freed]

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.

You make my point for me Uwe

I’m just to an extent playing devil’s advocate and offering a counter argument, from an equally narrow perspective, to the vociferous minority who flood the semi and final threads with comments noting how outraged they are that the match doesn’t kick off at 3pm like it did in a totally different society a generation ago.

Neither argument has any more merit than the other

 

[East Level 2]

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

Isn't Club Wembley on tier 2 where the missing 10,000 are?

Well it wouldn’t if we had a transport system that wasn’t stuck in a time warp.

Right

 

[Frodsham Blue]

Apparently, supporters club members will need to purchase their tickets as for the Semi, ie, you’ll tell your OSC admin that you want a ticket, then OSC will be allocated some blocks, from which you’ll need to log in and pick your own seats from those blocks.
If you intend buying a group of tickets, you’ll need to make sure the members are in your friends and family list.

Hi
Does that mean the other people on your friends and family list also have to be SC members aswell or will you will be able to buy for them if they are not?

Dickhead here booked a trip to New York, sailing across the Atlantic from Southampton and so will miss it. I think when we booked I thought the FA Cup Final would be after the Premier League season had finished.
I'm just hoping they either show it in the onboard pub or have BBC or ITV in our cabins, otherwise I'm getting rinsed for WiFi and watching it on my phone.

 

[Northerndave]

How does that work? It was 3pm last two seasons.

Press reporting that BBC pushing for 3pm so it doesn’t clash with Eurovision ! Jesus Christ !

Eurovision ? That's put the knockers on the final then.

 

[Northerndave]

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.

Did you hear that just in your head?

you need be on bridge watching for icebergs

 

[Fourinarow]

you need be on bridge watching for icebergs

And German U-boats.

And giant octopuses.

 

[jonah62]

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

They'd push a wall over to get you in if asked nicely

 

[faulknr]

Was that in the UK or Europe wide?

UK TV audience.

There is also a direct correlation between later FA Cup Final kick-off time and larger TV audience, sadly.

 

[faulknr]

that ahead of both ITV and BBC showing it at the same time? or is it just based on teh bbc audience?

Total UK viewers for both events. Madness, I know.

You’re not allowed to mention that, it never hapoey

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Well it wouldn’t if we had a transport system that wasn’t stuck in a time warp.

Insane isn't it. England's two great cities and we are scrapping about hoping to the get the last train at 10pm on a Saturday.

 

[urban genie]

Why can't these FA cunts just say what time it is playing, so people can book return train times ffs

breaks cup scheme rules about first preference.
