FA Cup Final - 18/05 1700hrs

[City & Blue Brazil]

OK as someone who only attends a handful of games per season (most seasons since 1975) I've had to suck up the £250 (for my son too who normally works on Saturdays*). No complaints there as the regulars should get first dibs at what passes for 'cheaper' prices. I didn't see anything about Club Wembley. What will I get for that other than a good view?

The bars and food outlets are much better than the rest of the ground as well. The bars are more like pub's and easy to get served.

344 tickets remain at £250 - not much fluctuation (unsurprisingly).

No doubt the cameras will pan onto this area and ignore the 31,262 of us in the occupied seats!

There will be a lot more than 31k Blues in the ground. I’ve just bought 4 from the FA.

Those seats are always empty anyway, when it's club Wembley they were hardly in their seats.

I think hundreds of £250 seats were sold this morning but City immediately added more so it looks like they've not sold that many at £250. They have though although I have little idea how many. You could go in the blocks and check, but we don't know if all the taken seats are City. Some might be original CW members?

Is it possible that our allocation of CW is 29206 - 28000?

Update at 1600 hrs...
291 tickets remain @ £250

Does anybody have any pub recommendations on the east side of Wembley? I’ve been to the east side once before; ended up in a restraunt which opened to city fans and there was a decent bbq going on. Good craic too.

There'll be loads heading out to Wealdstone. Tube to Ruislip and a 5-10 walk from there. Nice people there.

Dead right I'm pleased to say our coach is going there again. The last 2 trips I've gone solo to my lads and into London from his pad & tried the pubs west/east.

Went in the Torch & the Crock at the semi...fucking dire both of them. Can't see why the Greenman which is by far the best of the close to the ground pubs isn't kicking up a stink at getting Watford. I mean come on pints per person we'd (not literally) piss all over them. Just think of the money they're losing.

I’ve been thinking exactly the same about Boxpark, it’ll probably be full before the match but unlikely afterwards even if, god forbid, Watford win. The owners must be really pissed off.

I suspect you'll find the Police have been involved in the decision making - trying to keep fans as separated as possible.

You know - because of the history of trouble between the two clubs, and Wembley Central only EVER being used by 1 set of fans.

Seriously though, I kind of understand this as we do have more choice when it comes to getting to the stadium - Watford fans will almost certainly arrive Greenman side
