FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

[Eds]

They key is the club getting the selling criteria right. Not this over the top day by day shite that they do they do during the first week or two.

This is sufficient

Day 1 - cup scheme
Day 2 - ST holders
Day 3 - citizens members on a sliding scale for a couple of days
Day 5/6 - ST holders who want extras
Day 7 - open sale

Be interesting this one as we have never had a semi final just after a league cup final.

Not sure the systems could cope with 20k plus applying over first couple of days but don’t disagree with your thinking

That’s 37 ties, 18 at home 19 away

You’d almost think it was random.

Pep will be so fired up for this after what happened against Arsenal in his first season.

I think he is desperate to win the FA Cup in general.

And just before two more trips to London for CL quarters and Palace.

Was hoping for one of the other two.
We're away at Brighton last game.
Knowing they could be in final May have allowed them to field a weakened side.
Got a feeling the league will go to the last day .

Yeah but those diehards will always go to a semi so won’t affect things that way. Fulham the week before too!

Happy with draw but wouldn’t have complained with any of them.

Good point.

Better than driving home at 8.00 at night but that’s just my opinion

3pm would be ok.

It is 5.30pm though

Too fucking expensive, being good. Going to have to give this one a miss unfortunately.
