This is the thing that annoys me regarding OSC. There’s a few who got tickets on our who haven’t been at all, all season!
I think they have to bring a criteria within the OSCs to make it fair. I got one through my OSC but I’m a season ticket holder who has also done FA cup games including the semi this season

It is a piss take, annoys me how they have the audacity to ask and probably get the cheapest tickets and have contributed nothing in terms of finance or support to the club all season. Simple case of them pooling memberships and those who are not going giving undeserving cases the chance of multiple tickets

just seen one person who has not done a home or away game in years score 3 tickets for the cup final through their branch, and numerous others who do no games whatsoever all get tickets, no stress, no worry, asking for the lowest price, this circumnavigation of getting final tickets is obscene and very unfair.

Yep, said it the other day, branches got their full allocations for people and families that have not been near the ground all season. Fucking disgrace.

It’s not even pooling memberships as it was just a pure “who wants to go” message, and every man, woman & dog just said how many they wanted regardless, as long as had a minimum of matchday membership. Pathetic.

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding so is it the case that regardless of selling criteria set by the club if you are in a osc and have nothing more than a membership you can get a ticket for the final? Surely I haven't understood that correctly?

This issue needs to be added to the demands. The issue of the supporters club circumventing loyalty goes back over 25 years. It's nothing more than a corrupt sweetheart deal which leads to them colluding with the club rather than representing rank and file supporters.

Been like that last couple of trips to Wembley. Absolute fucking joke, they can get fucked.

I've made the decision not to go to this.

The reason 4:30 has been chosen is that ITV have worked out that people who watch a game that kicks off at 3pm tend to do something else after the game finishes and fewer people watch the more valuable (for advertising revenue) evening programmes.

With a 4:30 kick-off more people tend to stay tuned in, meaning higher advertising revenue. The convenience of football fans takes second place to ITV 's advertising revenue. I'm getting more and more fucked off with football.

Match tickets from £50 and £40. Coach travel £55 and £45 with the club. Probably cheaper with supporters clubs.

Why let facts get in the way of misery?
 
The fucking state of this thread. Absolutely embarrassing. Too many just can’t be arsed; want chauffeuring to their seats, want it all to match their own agenda. It’s the FA cup final. On a Saturday. At 4:30pm. Loads of travel options- car, coach, train.
But they’d rather wallow in self-pity and make out it’s akin to being sent to the front line without a rifle at Passchendale.
You don’t deserve this success.

Can see why the club would do this, given the amount of unsold seats for the semi. But as someone who has attended most FA cup games the last couple of seasons but not been able to buy a final ticket, I'm rethinking whether I want to renew my membership because of this.

What happens when the FA get a hugely lucrative offer from the USA to show it at their prime time, and set KO at 9pm? Or at 7am in the morning to maximise the Far Eastern TV market?

Football is for fans, and the fans who fill grounds, not the convenience of the TV companies.

You stay at home then. We’ll cope just fine with the 1hr 50 minute train down and the 2 hr 50 minute train back.
And a 4:30 ko. I’ll send you a free packet of tissues to wipe your fanny if that helps.
