Can we really be fed up of cup finals already??

[ifiwasarichfan]

I would give my eye teeth just to have a season ticket, never mind watch us in a final at Wembley. I cannot believe we have fans that now think it's "old hat" to see us in a final. After all the years of dross, every single occasion should be cherished!

I had a ST up to the final game at Maine Road and haven't been able to afford one since. Some people don't know how fucking lucky they are.

This. Well said Flash.

And I do know it's generally frowned upon on here not to add to the debate. And I know that the grammar police will be after me for starting both sentences with "And".

This is the stuff I've been waiting all my life for. As long as I can afford to feed the kids once a week, bring them on every year. Having said that, my mate's little lad doesn't want to come this year as a result of two pissed up old numpties falling on top of us whilst they were fighting with each other after the Wigan game last year.

The only aspect of this I agree with is the FAC semi-final. This should NOT be held at Wembley, and I for one wont be going to that. Play it anywhere else and I would go, even Old Toilet, but I disagree strongly with it being at Wembley.

Other than that I believe it is my duty as a Manchester City fan to attend any final we are fortunate enough to get to.

I agree with this, I will never go to wembley for a FA cup semi-final, it's just wrong that they are there.

Whilst I agree in principle, my favourite Wembley moment came in a semi-final so I'd be a hypocrite to complain really.

I'd love to be able to go this sunday. However, only being a blue member, I'll never qualify for a ticket. I can't understand anyone who can get a ticket not going for any reason other than possibly financial.

Im not going saving pennies for Barca, United and Arsenal. 3 bigger games in my opinion.

Good post. I almost feel guilty for having one, although I assure you that I still love every minute of going to Wembley!

Do you know what I don't get. People selling tickets on the ticket forum to posters with less than 20 posts in some cases. Spare tickets for the final are sparse but if you have one, why not look on the ticket forum and think who would you rather have it, a poster who registered today or someone with a couple of thousand posts who is on here regularly. I bet half the ones with less than 10 posts are sunderland fans trying to buy tickets in our end. I can't believe people just randomly offer their spare to anyone when some people have been on this board for years and miss out because they don't happen to be on the ticket forum at the right time.

You can't judge support based on a forum. I am, to some, a 'rag ****'. I have over 28 k posts and have been going since 1988.
Someone could have just 10 posts because they see this as a way of getting ticket and have supported the club for decades.

Maybe he just embarrassed not being able to afford it and didn't want to admit it to some guy he barely knows who'd probably post about it online.

I'm not going, first one of our recent Wembley trips I'll miss which I'm gutted about, it was simple choice of Wembley final or Barca away due to the money. Considering I've never been to the Nou Camp and the fact I get three nights away with the lads it was a no brainer really.
