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

Guy on FB who runs a supporters club says its 5.30 and we have the East end aka shit end.
He's usually reliable and knows as he'd provisionally booked the Green Man for his coach load and the landlord has got back to him to advise

Think I know who you're talking about. He said something about The Torch not picking the phone up as per usual!

The default time is 1730. Taking 8 days to confirm it is poor.

Not wanting to shoot the messenger but the landlord of the Green Man knows before the media ? Before City yes I'd agree but.......

I can believe that. He probably knows if we're signing Bellingham and what the outcome of the PL charges will be.
On the flip side he's absolutely bobbins at cooking jerk chicken

As I say only passing on info but the guy is usually reliable and I see no reason why a pub landlord wouldn't know as the police will have to liase with them in relation to the planning of the event.

Not too outrageous really. Pretty sure the pubs will have been briefed ahead of any announcement being made public

I think i might be the only one here thinking that the later they announce it the better.

But then i live in London and only go to 6 games a season. More if i can get to a cup game but midweek is obviously trickier given i finish work around 530.

The way i see it is the later it gets the more chance i'll have of getting a ticket. Very selfish I know but tbh i'm not sorry.

You'll get a ticket regardless because we won't sell out.

In fact he can have his pick of the whole end

I'm not sure we even need neutral venues for semi-finals in this day and age. If you're drawn home or away then that should be that. You get no prizes or medals for winning/losing a semi-final.

Not sure about that unless it is over two legs. For City it may not be that big a deal but for most teams e.g. Sheffield Utd I am certain they would not fancy playing a cup semi at the Etihad.

It should be Sir Kevin Parker. He was working yesterday to help Blues just like every other Sunday I’ve ever asked for help / info on.

Supporters Club Branches don’t have to confirm the numbers of Blues going until the Kick off date / time is confirmed. We get put where City decide to put us because for every benefit (ticket priority) there is also a bit of a downside.

If you get to Wembley mate, I hope you last beyond 76 minutes.

Sir Kevin do me a favor.

Wow worked on a Sunday, I would work every day if all I had to do was juggle tickets for my favs.

Why should a semi-final be any different to a quarter-final? Had it been drawn the other way, I suspect that the Blades would have liked to have played us at home rather than Wembley.
