FA Cup SF Draw | Sheffield United | Sat 22 Apr 16:45

[If I die in the Kippax St]

Don’t get me wrong mate I’d sooner travel down in a private copter, the megabus isn’t much fun but we’ve probably all travelled on worse. This isn’t aimed at you but I find all the bleating from those who want to travel by train really disingenuous as they always add the “they don’t care about the fans” line. What they mean is “ they don’t care about me”

The fact is that there are far more fans who travel down by coach and minibus and car who would rather have a 1730 kick off as it gives them more time to get on the ale properly than there are fans who travel by train and who are fretting about the last train home. So on that basis late kick off times are considerate to the majority of fans.

Fair point and personally I would walk there to see city if I had too

Do that at Wembley and the only thing that will change is the size of the fines the club will get.

Combined Fan actions prevented the ESL from proceeding.

If many clubs fans had agreed and coordinated days of action against kick off times, semi final times etc etc the adverse global publicity for sponsors, tv companies, authorities etc would be a catalyst for change.

Fans have been moaning for years about being treated like shit but do fuck all about it. If the FA offices in central London were targeted,occupied etc matters may begin to change

What is so hard about agreeing that games will kick off at 3pm.

DO NOWT & NOTHING WILL CHANGE !!

Detest the semi Final being at Wembley....but as the saying goes over land and Sea...

Not much of a grapevine that lad.
Stretford play Thu in Europe - so it was always going to be that.
Disappointed with all parties that ticket details aren't out yet - piss poor as usual.

The additional info is in the kick off time I’ve given you there pal. The world and his dog knew of the Sat date the moment the Rags got through.

Problem is, until officially announced the rag game details and consequently our match are just presumptions.

The authorities can do whatever they want to suit,

Still no kick off time confirmed SIX DAYS after the draw.

Travel arrangements on hold,price increases,hotels full,return rail journeys uncertain etc etc.

Incompetent, unprofessional and a complete lack of awareness and care for their customers by the FA.

Until fans start to take direct, militant & disruptive action (tennis ball stoppages during the game) nothing will change.

ONLY FAN ACTIONS WILL CHANGE MATTERS !!

Someone needs to stick it on a flag and post across mainstream media!

FA might take notice and deal with it

Agreed - total bollocks that teams from Manchester and Sheffield are trekking down there (but it's been done to death and won't change).
The cherry on the turd would be for them to make the k.o. time 12:30 out of spite though!!

The media don't care, it doesn't affect them & they are part of the problem by not highlighting & campaigning these issues on behalf of fans in a cost of living crisis !!

Disruptive action across fan bases will be the only way to highlight the FAs ineptitude & incompetence.

Sponsors hate bad publicity particularly if it originates from their own consumers.

Disrupt the start of second halves, fuck up the TV schedules,storm the FA offices,blockade the BBC sports centre.

Direct action is the only way to change things !!
