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

Who do you want in the Semi Final?


  • Total voters
    320
  • Poll closed .
A lot of people will miss out on a ticket if it is the rags in the final.
About 30k allocation. I think anyone that goes to the etihad on a regular basis and wants one will get one. If you're an armchair fan who only wants to go to the big games with no previous history, you might struggle
 
There is no room for sentiment in football. There's no sentiment or thought to the fact the tie falls between Munich(a) and Arsenal(h) like there wasn't any for our schedule last year when Liverpool had an easy CL QF and we had Atletico who kicked the shit out of us.

We have the best draw, the competition rule states they can't play. We would be foolish in our position to explore any possibility of them playing.

ST holders missed out on the 2011 final, it went down to about 3k points.
 
Wembley seat counting needs an experienced head because there are loads of obstacles to accuracy including sales restrictions, pricing and closed blocks.

we normally start with 1/2 the top tier unavailable, so i would recommend access to a good plan of the seating layout at wembley, i have also noticed someone calling seat counters sad bastards on here, a slur on the good name of experienced counters. This season has not provided any real opportunities for the counters to flex their muscles, this game will be a real test of their skills after being redundant for most of the season
 
Official allocation for FA Cup finals is around 25k-27k I think. That compares to 33k-35k for the semis.

I read Chelsea got 30k last year.

That was our first cup final since '81. Our first trophy since '76. Think there's a bit of a difference. It's not the same feeling now that we're there every year, 2/3 times a year. A lot of people are bored. The added spice will be united but I don't think that's enough to sell out to season ticket holders.
 
I'm not sure what all the hand wringing and self flagellation is for on this one. The rules are they don't play against their parent club. Rightly or wrongly those are the rules and were known before the loan. Obviously nobody could have foreseen what would happen but it has. A shame for the two lads but if they beat us they can play in the final.
They call it the romance of the cup & this could be their only shot at Wembley & maybe the pinnacle of their careers (whose to say their careers aren’t cut short) we’re talking about two young lads playing for a championship team, I’m not sure what all the hard nosed rules is rules attitudes are about for this one either, if that was my lad I’d want him to play and so would every City fan who was lucky enough to be in such a position, the club could gain a lot of kudos out of this (if it had a choice) instead it’ll be used as a stick to beat us with some what predictably

Yep I was a season ticket holder, I got one for the semi but not the final. Ended up paying 250 to some ex squaddie on here for a final ticket.

Best £250 I ever spent :-)

United in a final for the first time ever will be a big draw, and we have far more ST holders now as well as corporates, sponsors, and the FA's football familiy won't be passing them over either.
