FA Cup Final - 18/05 1700hrs

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.

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.

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.
 
Is there any plans for 1894 to have a singing section for this? As I’m sure the club have learnt nothing from previous visits, on actively trying to create an atmosphere! I’m guessing we will have the usual sporadic and fragmented groups trying to get it going, along with the stand up/sit down arguments that happen with every visit.
 
Am i correct in saying that the club will run some travel coaches from the Etihad on the day? Can you buy these with match tickets too?

For the semi final you had to buy a match ticket then Thomas Cook would ask the club who then confirmed you had bought a ticket. They would then allocate a coach seat to you.

Although it pains me to defend the BBC, BT are also showing the final, and they do depend on advertising (as they don't have a compulsory regressive tax to support them).
 
I know that the final is a month away, but are City ever going to announce ticket details & then actually start selling them? The game was 10 days ago. Everybody announced on the 9th April brief details of allocation, prices and end etc. Watford announced full details 4 days ago & start selling them tomorrow. Even if we start selling them soon, it's going to a good week or 2 before some people qualify for or find out if they can get a ticket. It just makes organising travel and/or hotels harder and probably more expensive. The hotels are already expensive or full before anyone has a ticket and that can only get worse.
