More City fans turned up that night to watch a League One match against Luton Town than Rags did to watch an FA Cup semi final against Arsenal.
All the "can't get a ticket" Rag liars mustn't have fancied it.

Even if they had sold it it would have been the case if we only managed to get 20k home fans in.

But they didn’t sell out and there were over 26k at Maine Road that night.
It was one of the lowest semi final attendances since WW2.
My point is we get pelters if we don't sell out yet nothing is ever said if anyone else doesn't.
 
When i go to a Wembley game, due to being an old **** i book a hotel , so it costs me roughly between £300-400 every trip , i cant justify that for a semi - final , cant understand why the FA continue to play the semi-finals at Wembley apart from the obvious financial gains. Perhaps football should start thinking about the fans for once , and play the games at neutral grounds and away from that money grabbing shithole London.

We need Oasis to pretend to book all the weekends in April so they move it like the Weekend concert for the community shield!

It's not as straightforward as that mate.

Apart from the Semi Finals, and Salford last Season when I was in Australia, I've attended every FA Cup Match since COVID.
That includes away trips to Newcastle, Bristol City, Bournemouth and Leyton Orient, but more importantly all those unattractive home games.

However, I'm also a cricket umpire and old enough to remember when the seasons only overlapped for a couple of games.
The Everton Semi Final in 69 was played in March and even the Ipswich game in 81 was two weeks earlier than now.

Today I chose cricket but having only missed Bodo and Southampton this season I deserve a Cup Final Ticket and I'll get one being in the cup scheme.

Then there's no reason for you to reply to my arsey post?
 
Whats the early prediction for final sales? will it be a case of anyone who wants one will get one i.e season tickets can buy extra. Or will only a few hundred tickets reach cityzens?

There were loads of people there yesterday in our end who’ve never seen a live football game in their lives before. Tourist central up at the top.

Loads of them were wandering around trying to find their seats anything up to about 23 minutes into the game not even looking at the pitch when we attacked, loads didn’t have a clue what was going on when people tried to get songs going.

I wouldn’t want them getting priority over true Blues who just can’t justify the price of two trips to Wembley in the same pay month or who refuse to go to semis purposely make sure our end looks pathetic to try and force the FA to move the semis from Wembley.
