Agreed i posted earlier that the game at Wembley might be a pain for a lot of our fans. It's not all about us, it will probably be a big deal for Blades fans.

Oh yeah, they'll be as giddy as fuck and rightly so. I can see there being less City fans attending this than last seasons semi against the scouse filth. Wembley just holds no appeal anymore unless it's a final

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Me and my FOC will be there.

Will you REALLY be there?

 

[simmo]

I’ve just been looking and last train back is 9…pushing it if it’s a 5.30ko and goes to ET and pens . R u on the 9 back?

I’ve assumed it’s a 4.30 ko as last season. It’s worked previously to get back to Euston in time and train back with so many fans.

For the SF? £40 adult rings a bell?

I've just dug out my ticket from last year's semi-final vs Liverpool and I was in
Green Zone
Block 109 (entrance F)
Row 35
Seat 214
The price printed on the ticket is £65 ,but I got £10 discount for an over 65 concession.
And just for clarification the KO time was 15.30 hrs.

A final should be at Wembley not a semi final.

FA cup Semi finals were always (mainly) neutral grounds half way ish
1993 steel city derby semi was at Wembley as fans complained about the Elland Rd venue.

League cup semis were always two legged affairs (loads recently plus Middlesborough home and away 1976 ?) same as today

 

[Fordyboy46]

Are we all assuming we'll be the Saturday game then?

Yep, because Red cunts play in the Thursday papa johns europa losers league

 

[Maccblue]

Is it up to City if they are allowed to play?

If it was. City would agree
Then we’d get another fine as they’d change the rules so another breach against us to add to the list !!

 

[WillT]

Anyone remember the cheapest ticket price from last season?

30 quid

They can play. They are on a season long loan.

FA CUP RULE 15

(j) Temporary (loan) Transfers

• (i) A player on a temporary (loan) transfer is ineligible to compete in the Challenge Cup Competition unless permission to do so is given by the lending Club in writing and a copy is received by The Association by 12 noon on the Friday prior to the date fixed for playing the Round. Any permissions must clearly state that the player has approval to play in The FA Challenge Cup Competition. A registered Trainee or a player who is registered on a Scholarship for work experience may play for another Club, subject to written permission being given by the Club that he is registered to and provided that such permission is received by The Association by 12 noon on the Friday prior to the date fixed for playing the Round. The Association will not give permission for players on loan or work experience to play against the lending Club.

• (ii) A player recalled, at any time prior to the date of the Round, to his original Club from temporary (loan) transfer, in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, may represent his original Club. Such player may only play in postponed and replayed matches if he had been recalled in time for the first match in accordance with subparagraph (i) above and (iii) below as applicable.

• (iii) A player on temporary (loan) transfer is eligible to compete if transferred by the lending Club to the loaning Club after the date and time for player qualification for a round but must have been eligible to play in the original tie.

• (iv) Players on season “long term loan agreements”, are not considered “loan” players for the purposes of the Rule, and are therefore eligible to play in the Competition.

This is not from the current rules.

They cannot play.

It’s really not difficult to go to the FA website and find the current rules.
