FA Cup Final - 18/05 1700hrs

[blue b4 the moon]

Had a bit of bother finding somewhere to stay but we've booked the London Edgeware Premier Inn. We'll definitely be at Wealdstone before the game

Our coach is there too, always a good session

I’m sacking it off simply as I won’t pay £90+ to take each of my 9 and 7 year olds, that’s £300 for us all to go. We’re in the cup schemes and did the semi but had to hang on until my dad was eligible yesterday afternoon so the cheaper tickets had gone. The wait until yesterday is my problem but the FA thinking it’s acceptable for a 7 year old to be charged £90 or more to watch any game of football, cup final or not, is appalling

This is my 4th trip to FA HQ this season, I'll not be doing as many next season if we're in the same position I'll be doing the finals only. Robbing fuckers the FA.

I pray we go there as Champions and in the hunt for the Treble.

I just looked at our record in the FA Cup. It's not great. According to wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FA_Cup_Finals#Results_by_team we have won it 5 times and have 10 Final appearances. I assume they have not included this one in those 10 appearances. In contrast Arsenal have won it 13 times from 20 final appearances. Utd also have 20 final appearances but have won it 12 times.

Slightly surprising for me was that Villa have won it 7 times but they haven't won it in my lifetime.

So utd it is 60% win rate and us 50%. Not really much of a difference

If we win this one ours will be 54%

Coventry I believe have been and won it once, a 100% record.

Just in case you're hanging on for others to qualify, very roughly (because it looks like a child has drawn it) the plan shows the following available:
Lower 2350, Club Wembley 300, Upper 1550. I assume the restricted view will come after these have gone.

Give the banner to those in the £45 seats, we'll happily unfurl it.

No one will be able to read it there, the seats should be free they are that bad in that section.

Still 6 more levels to go. Even with the prices it's not looking good for members.

Touts will have a field day. I've often wondered what the cops would do if 15 handy lads rushed one, nicked his tickets etc.

I got a £70 ticket but not bothered about the cost.

The way I look at it is there is still a chance that we could win a domestic treble and to be honest I would have paid a lot more to be there if and when we do it.
