FA Cup Final | Crystal Palace (N) | Sat 17 May 4:30pm

[Stretford Born Blue]

The cost of everything is so expensive these days - in fairness to the club, if they’re not subsidising it in any way (which they’re clearly not) it’s the same as the charge from my SC branch.

It’s £30 for Palace fans to travel across London!!!!

 

[Stretford Born Blue]

For people driving, what time do you think you will set off now you know kick off?

8am to Wealdstone FC…

 

[Stretford Born Blue]

Someone will be along shortly to slap your arse with a chiffon slipper and call you a name you couldn't repeat in female company.

You’re not wrong .

 

[Gingers Dad]

Am I missing something? If we've been given the East stand why are we showing the seating plan for the West stand on the club site?

It also says that Block 110 to 113 are safe standing which are on the East side?

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

I know it’s an added cost but it’s something I’ve done before when trains are tight, you can pre book an Uber for £40 back to Euston, tenner each if you can fill it, and the larger the vehicle you choose the cheaper it gets, you can also cancel up to 60 minutes before

 

[Stretford Born Blue]

Think you have missed the point. The kick off time has been picked to suit TV/FA with a Fuk the fans approach. If your going to be a pussie and sit back and be pissed all over and say “thank you very much” your a mug.

I get the point, 1000%, what can we do about it?
People raise some valid points, others follow an agenda or two, to what end?!
Whinging changes cock all.
You either want to follow the blues, if you can, or you don’t, so why bleat, then go.
Bleat and don’t go, show them you mean business, every fucker is playing at being ‘a little bit annoyed’.
They’ll be 40k blues at Wembley, the vast majority having a great day out with family and friends.
We’re never going to make a difference, unless every bugger doesn’t go and bow down to the decision makers and authorities and, I doubt we’ll get nowhere near that point.
Meanwhile, at Wealdstone FC, pubs around Wembley and, on the concourses in two weeks time, I’ll see tanked and coked up fans, spending a fortune they probably haven’t got, not a bleat between them, KO times and cost forgotten.
Hypocrites abound.

The club should help the fans with the disgraceful concession prices, they are a disgrace, the club should also take one of the cheaper tickets only the dear ones

 

[remember arthur mann]

Who pays the piper calls the tune.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Pathetic from ITV.

So driving means a Manchester return at the very earliest of 11pm and we will have to get back to Wealdstone first for our car.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Don't know anybody that watches Dr Who or the Eurovision. Worst comes to the worst they can watch fucking Dr Who on iPlayer.

Pandering to the thickos.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

How the fuck can a seat that cost £150 in the semi final, which in itself is ridiculous, cost £285 for the final? There cannot be anymore expense to putting one game on over the other (in fact, Saturday MUST be cheaper to put on than Sunday), it’s just price gouging and it stinks.
It stinks even more because the FA actually paid off the outstanding finance on Wembley at the end of 2024, so they’re just creaming a fortune off the fans, in order to pocket a huge wedge of cash.
If this was a ticket resale site, everyone would be up in arms.

Even worse when most people will watch it on BBC, as they always do…

 

[remember arthur mann]

I think we should organise a protest at Wembley. Two weeks today still no official kick off time announced or which end we have been given, although Palace have announced they have been given the West side so we presume we have the East side. Then there are the rip off ticket prices, increased significantly from last year.

With the extra money off Kevs flag, we should make another slagging the FA off.

Don’t know if it’s possible or realistic but maybe use some of it to help pay for kids seats on the coaches?

 

[Northerndave]

It’s a Cup final, the FA Cup final.
So many fans hacked off with this that and the other.
It’s a trip to London, 190 miles, on a Saturday, not the other side if the World FFS.
My Grandfather and his 3 sons hitch hiked around the country watching City in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.
Give your fuckin heads a wobble, stop bleating, get your arse in gear, my God we’ve become a bunch of pansies!!!!!

And I bet all those games were at 3pm and planned weeks in advance with a better public transport system in place and when the fans were the game

Dead right we should complain when we are not even considered and made to wait to then find most won't be able to see the trophy lift due to the one train out of London open to them.

And how much were tickets back then? How would they have felt if the time for that game wasn’t known until 2 weeks before, world was a different place then thank fuck and fans weren’t treated like shit and asked to pay a fortune for the pleasure

Pales into insignificance when you compare it to the cost for european finals I'm afraid €650/€950 Cat2/Cat1 CL tickets this season.
Working man's sport though ;)

 

[Axel Freed]

Excellent news, grab a couple of extra hours in bed, more drinking time before the game, plenty of transport options on the way home.

 

[Axel Freed]

For people driving, what time do you think you will set off now you know kick off?

900
Maybe 930 at a push

 

[Sid C]

It is and they are , all sorted on Saturday, always take are 1 or 2 coaches to there and leave them there.
They were shut for the last final as they had a pre booked function, but they sorted us out an alternative venue for the day.

That would suit us this time. Can you just turn up and be allowed in?
