FA Cup Final - 18/05 1700hrs

[Marvin]

Watford selling their allocation from Wednesday April 17 so we should expect similar?

They also say that they might get an additional allocation of Club Wembley seats in addition to the 28k.

Can never understand how the F.A. totally ignore the circumstances of supporters of northern based teams and with their ridiculous kick off times , are you telling me a 3pm kick off would inconvenience the global audience that much , the F.A.live in a bubble in London and do not give a toss about working class supporters and never have ,its a pity they dont have an anthem like the Champs league ......boooooooooooooo.

Am confused. I thought the east side was the Green man end.

They don’t give a fuck mate. They’re only bothered about maximising tv coverage hence advertising

They know the travelling fan will have a moan and then fall into place and travel anyway.. and will be back next time too

And if god forbid that travelling fan makes a stand and refuses to go on principle, it’s him that gets ridiculed and criticised, not the fa

The BBC greed for ratings is a big part too. They don’t have to sell advertising yet still dictate inconvenient kick off times. Could have been 3pm if they wanted.

Is the boxpark Wembley dependent on what end of Wembley we are in ?

Yes , Watford will be allocated that

I suppose the answer would be for all City fans to boycott any Wembley game that isn't at a good time - then the FA would have to do something; there'd be such pressure from the club & other people.

But that would take enormous organisation and resolve.

In the meantime, they know we'll have a little moan, but still buy the tickets and attend.

Seems strange that Watford's southern softies will be gifted all the best official drinking holes. I'd imagine the pints per person ratio would be much higher with me/our pissheads, wonder if the venues are happy?
