FA Cup 4th Round Draw | Tottenham (A) | Fri 26th Jan, 20:00

[eyalluvitt]

Considering the club get a broadcast fee, it might have been a nice gesture to lay on free coaches for this one.

City hire bus for the entire away support to get to Tottenham

 

[Stephen230]

As compared to £184.70, with no guaranteed seat, for an on the day single from London to Manchester?

Just checked, these are the prices for tonight/tomorrow early hours, which don’t seem outrageous.

I know you’re talking generally but just so nobody pays over the odds, it is off peak all day between Manchester and London on Fridays.

Wtf are ITV thinking, 8pm on a Friday, there’s loads of neutral football watchers who won’t see the game as it clashes with Eastenders or any other shite that’s on a Friday night. The biggest pisstake is the Rags away to either Newport or Eastleigh at the prime 4.30 Sunday slot, what an absolute fucking joke.

Fulham v Newcastle at 7p is baffling on a Saturday night, why not utilise the 5:30 slot or they could have put our game on at 5:30 and Fulham at 8pm as an hour makes little difference.

Keeping the Rags relevant from all broadcasters is a damned agenda, the wankers are doing their upmost to keep them in public view.

A real kick in the balls for the FA Cup holders this one.

You’d never guess we were the current holders. It’s a sham but nothing we didn’t already know.

This was the Elmhurst's exotic beer garden last season.

For a second there I thought you said ‘erotic’

£60 to £175 - wonder if @staffsblue got a good commission. When they get expensive I turn to the Borehamwood ones, about a mile from the station via pubs and Nandos £48 now. It is a lot of messing for Spurs but good for the M1.

Borehamwood is my home town. Chippy tea at mine ;)

You can do mega bus without staying over.
23.30 back to Manchester about 5.30 on Saturday.

Sounds utterly horrendous.

 

[Impeccable One]

That doesn't seem a big subsidy ?

Just heard they may have found a cheaper coach supplier, seems they’re based in Istanbul, but have good reviews online.

We’ve never sold a charity shield out at Wembley, yet this year, we did. When no one thought we would.
Thousands of members took the tickets, and fair play to them. This is a great chance for people who don’t normally go to away games to get a ticket. The criteria tells you that.

Add to that a big campaign for a boycott

Loads of interest in this, so the initial 6k will sell out. 2 important factors...new ground for loads that miss out on the premier game.. secondly, it's the FA cup...Still a pull for blues.
a good barometer for these things is the osc demand.. its high, so easily shift the 6k.

Far more civilised than the last trains to Manchester.
The time it takes is the only negative side.
Once the seats are filled that is it,no more in.

On the Spurs website, it already says MCFC will take the full 9k and there are instructions for Spurs supporters whose seats will have to move as a result.
We'll be coming up from Somerset if I can get tickets: it'll be my boy's first big away match (the other was vs Swindon a couple of years ago, so a bit different)

booked on the 11pm megabus back to manc, its direct takes just over 4hrs which isnt too bad.

where as the half 11pm one makes multipul stops and takes over 6 hrs.

i know its going to be tight may have to leave on 85mins to make it back, past experience its ok to drink on them where as the official ones are a nightmare..

leaving at 2pm is asking for troube if you ask me... will be lucky to make ko. and i bet they will be dry which is no good for me.

 

[ftg89]

Will this go to cityzen members on the Tuesday do we think?

 

[Alfie Budd]

I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t.
The fact that Cityzens are included in the initial sales criteria means that City expect that to be the case.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Would anybody who isn't attending kindly get me a ticket when they go on sale?

 

[cleavers]

I’m driving down, fuck it, like a challenge.

Down won't be the challenge, driving home will be with numerous motorway roadworks I expect.

 

[Ric]

Was hoping to take my lad to this, but going to have to bin it now with the day/ko time. Annoying.

A couple of beers combined with the giddiness of tonight’s win has resulted in an about turn on this. Up the Blues!

Hah. Reminds me of my Dad staggering in from the pub, pulling me out of bed and saying, "Come on, we're going to Wembley". Wolves, 1974.

I can probably get you one if needed. Only 3 out of 4 us can go so I can get their ticket for you. See you live in Bolton. I'm just down the road in Chorley. PM if you want me to sort mate

Think we will make some serious noise.
