Has to be top 5, regardless of what anyone would like. A club at the level we are operating at simply cannot be out of the CL (no matter how much some fans hate it). Being out the competition can easily start a snowball effect, for qualification the next season. I'm not saying I don't want to win the FA cup, but in terms of priority order for top teams, it can't come above being in the champions league.If you had the choice. Would you rather finish outside the top 5 and win the Fa cup or lose to forest and finish top 5
Oh I was leaving that unsaid, but the thought has been on my mind for months.Plus the horror scenario that they are in CL next season and we are not.
We will sell out I am sure, remember last season people saying it wouldnt.We sold out last year against Chelsea, even increasing our allocation from about 34000 to 37000
Wembley trips will always be ok now due to the tourists that will fill the empties. Rare occasion they come in handy as legacy fans alone would not sell the semi out. Last year was tourist town, our row apart from us was a Chinese family at their first football game. Fair play they got involved and was cheering a city win onWe sold out last year against Chelsea, even increasing our allocation from about 34000 to 37000
In 1999 we hadnt been for years, 2013 we took close on 60k I think, amazing that we cant sell out a semi without tourists but obvs its like a second home now. Maybe the fact its our only chance of a trophy might mean theres a bit more interest.Wembley trips will always be ok now due to the tourists that will fill the empties.

A big day out for most of the City fans as well.In 1999 we hadnt been for years, 2013 we took close on 60k I think, amazing that we cant sell out a semi without tourists but obvs its like a second home now. Maybe the fact its our only chance of a trophy might mean theres a bit more interest.
Forest, Palace and Villa its a big day out for them.
It is but it is true, sheff united and brighton were far from sell outs. As you say when you are there more than once every season the novelty wears thin. There will be plenty of interest for a potential final, semis we will struggle without our tourists.In 1999 we hadnt been for years, 2013 we took close on 60k I think, amazing that we cant sell out a semi without tourists but obvs its like a second home now.

I find it utterly ridiculous that the cricket season gets a mention.lol.I was at Orient and Bournemouth but I won't be attending the Semi Final
For a start it shouldn't be at Wembley as it just makes the whole day too long. Fair enough for the Final, but not twice in a short space of time.
Its also getting later and later each year and shouldn't be clashing with the cricket season.
I've been involved with cricket since the 70s and this was never a problem until recently
I also find it utterly ridiculous that fans of all clubs are moaning about ticket prices but don't seem to have a problem with an unnecessary trip to Wembley and all the expense involved
I think we have only sold out 2.When was the last time we didn’t sell out a semi? I think it was Liverpool but that was due to no trains and it being played on Easter weekend. We should piss selling this one out with all of our “new” fans.
Be very very surprised if they don’tWill the club be running coaches to the semi-final?
Traditionally both Semis and the Final were played at the Oval. Further away too.I find it utterly ridiculous that the cricket season gets a mention.lol.
They defo will £300 with a 3 course pack lunchBe very very surprised if they don’t
