FA Cup Semi Final | Southampton | Sat 25th, 17:15

Just had a look. Direct and cheapest are trains to Waterloo; for double cost and with a change at Reading they could come into Paddington. Not sure which provides better connection to Wembley, but those look this the two London stations that’ll be busiest for their supporters.

Yes I was wrong with that Blue, deffo Southampton train station to London is Waterloo. Still the same side of the ground though.

Alcohol free beers have thankfully improved massively since Barbican and Kaliber were the available options.

They have. And they’re still absolutely shite!

And even if they weren't shite,they'd still be shite.

Where are they?

Social media Full of it, people moaning, you know whats coming if you get to SF/final

 

[spacecadet]

Could City not put the free coaches on again for this? They need us in numbers and most people I know are fucking skint.

They’re a god send for people with alcohol issues who don’t want to drink a child’s drink though.

£140 cheapest trains from Newcastle there and back on the day most nearer £200.
Be full of healthy looking people in bright Hoka trainers drinking power drinks and eating fruit.
We will be on the piss thank you.

Liverpool Semi in 2022 was a 15:30 Saturday Kick Off, they're definitely not afraid of breaking the black out rule when it suits them.

I don’t think there were any 3pm league fixtures on the day of the Liverpool semi though. It was Easter Saturday so most EFL teams played on Good Friday IIRC. So it could’ve actually been a 3pm kick-off. I know a lot of City and Liverpool fans campaigned for a decent kick-off time.

 

[asahartford1]

Happens every year and people still get shocked by kick off times

Someone's lad will be going to legoland that day.

 

[Alfie Budd]

Did we have east side last year vs Palace ?

Yes.

Milton Keynes is a decent option for anyone wanting to break the journey up with a hotel.

£19 off peak return from MK to London and trains run til midnight.

Hotels from £55.

Ah yes Toon at Arsenal also on train home.
Might be a bit interesting that

But, this is a semi final and, unlike the final, unless someone is 4-0 after an hour, everyone leaves at virtually the same time.

True. I’m not defending the KO time - just pointing out that if you’re quick then you can make the last train home
