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

[East Level 2]

I've excluded Community Shield games, hence the word 'competitive'. It's just League Cup finals, plus FA Cup semis and finals.

It's an incredible record really.

We're you including the two PL games v Spurs?

Think he's a troll mate.

I’ve just clicked on his name. He’s not a blue.

Can’t be arsed reading but this false hysteria about not selling out is a loud of guff. Yeah the kick off isn’t the best and what it’s also not the worst. I know plenty already asking for spares who can’t normally be arsed so please stop pandering this idea we won’t sell out believing to much social media about our support.

A cup final just another game.

I can sort of see some people thinking a semi-final is just another game, but not a final.

A cup final just another game.

If that was the only time we went there, you'd have a point, but...

No. They're in London anyway so stop being pedantic!

Everyone I know is going!

But nothing.A cup final is not just another game. Especially if it is our only chance of a trophy this season.

You cheapskate, you!
Interesting that, though. I started going same time as you. I didn't know — never realised — that it was half-a-crown for the scoreboard end too. It was through the schoolboys entrance to the Kippax, that's for sure. (Some bloody big “schoolboys” with bushy sideburns going through that entrance, I can tell you). On a few very rare occasions, I sat in the Platt Lane end on the benches, and one of my very first matches must have been in the Main stand. Otherwise, I don't think I sat with the posh folks in the Main stand more than about three or four times. Once, on the one time I took my former wife with me (1982, must have been). She cared nothing about football, and I felt it was a bit rough to take her on the Kippax.
I don't think I ever once stood on the scoreboard end, either before or after it was covered. It was the away supporters end, wasn't it?

I'm not sure if it was an end for the away fans back then. I don't remember there being designated ends for away fans though when we played the rags they might have been given the Platt lane.

It will sell out.

There is double demand for tickets.

Unfortunately the Red Shirt Cartel fans and City haters on social media will be disappointed when they read and see all the seats are sold and full off City fans.

 

[paulchapo]

No more jumping for you Paul.

I can still jump with the best of them I'll have you know.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Personally, it's the occasion rather than the venue for me tbh.

Interesting the 1st time out but after that, who cares?

It's not like modern stadiums are the knackered wooden sheds of old. Wembley is not that special or superior to other, modern stadia.

Capacity is the only real differentiator that I can see.

You’re definitely on the wum. One minute saying how bad it’d look if we don’t sell out, now saying interesting 1st time but then who cares.

Can go on ignore for me.

1600 posts in less than 4 months when not a blue, strange life.

 

[M18CTID]

There won’t be any empty seats. Are you even a blue?

Been a strong whiff about him for a while

We could sell out both ends if we had the allocation. Anyone who doesn’t know this is a clown.

Not noticed him before but having gone through a few dozen posts nobody is that big of a berk.

The travel side is as tedious as the travel to the Etihad now.

Above all, what in God's name is the point in worrying about it not selling out before it even happens!? (Not aimed at you, but at the other poster). Some people just love to have something to be nervous about.

Everything ok at home mate ?

How about we just stay on topic and you leave the brigading and baiting to your other forums eh?
