My birthday!

 

[Axel Freed]

Not for the first time we have Blues dismissing the semifinal, strange times.

It’s just a tiny but very vociferous handful of old timers who thanks to the triple lock pension are fortunate enough to be able to afford rip off train prices and don’t like to slum it on coaches and won’t countenance any kick off time that inconveniences them

They like to be in bed by 10pm and getting back from London makes this tricky so they bleat on about the long forgotten concept of provincial semis at Villa Park etc, as though they’re permanently stuck in a 70s / 80s time warp, unbothered by the fact that tens of thousands of blues who can get tickets for Wembley wouldn’t be able to get tickets for a much smaller provincial ground. As long as they’re happy and everything is convenient for them then that’s all they’re bothered about.

So they’ll spam this thread bemoaning the inconvenient train times and criticising the FA and Wembley and wishing out loud it was 1981 again but come April 27th our end of Wembley will as always be full with 30 odd thousand happy blues having a great day out

Wealdstone FC will be hosting City fans for the semi final. Been many times and always made welcome with bbq and cheap (for London!) drinks.

Are the any contact details for this, i want to give this a go this time. I have tried an old link from the charity shield thread earlier this year and it just shows the page for Newcastle in the league cup

 

[BringBackSwales]

Do we know if we’ve got the green man end or tother one?

 

[Pezzer2]

Trains booked. I'm knackered if it goes to extra time though.
Half 4 not ideal but I can't wait for it, still never get bored of a Wembley trip

I'm not having it that the Rags are on tv again in another meaningless pointless fucking wank of a game. They must have broke their own record of most televised games in a season. Its got to be counted in one hand the number of games they've not been shown. What the fuck is the obsession with showing these c***s.

SKy Sports United for you

Do we know if we’ve got the green man end or tother one?

Probably depends on which ‘end’ causes us most inconvenience…

 

[KearsleyBlue]

What criteria do the semis normally go to?

[Penworthamblue]

Just booked 10am train from Preston and the 8.30pm back for £90 for me and my lad, will be a late one for him with school the next day.

 

[MrCheeseGrater]

Fucking shit kick off time on a Sunday but I'll be there

 

[asahartford1]

Knew whoever was getting Sunday would be getting shafted. You've got the Manchester and London Marathon causing chaos of both ends of the travel.

It's wank, so there better be affordable transport options offered and cheaper tickets.

There won't be. I wouldnt bother mate. Better on TV.
And you could run the manc marathon first -:)

Last train back looks like 9:49, which is doable but not ideal

 

[Ray bloody Purchase]

Cheers @bluesteve1964

 

[Scareye]

I’m waiting for the thanks - you bought travel and a room at the cheaper rate. ;)

I didn’t. It was a double April fools thing. Although I am sorted .

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Just booked 10am train from Preston and the 8.30pm back for £90 for me and my lad, will be a late one for him with school the next day.

Just be aware those last 2 trains 20.30 and 20.53 are notorious for being cancelled. I am 50 50 if to chance it back to bank quay on the rattler but may consider the usual drive to watford then into wembly.
As for the FA, those cunts can fuck off. Zero disregarfor any of us ever. Getting sick to the back teeth. 3pm would have been ok
