FA Cup SF | Liverpool | Sat 16 Apr 15:30 | Travel, Ticket & Pub Discussion

[Blue Mist]

I’m one of the usual supporters, over fifty years since my first game , lost count of how many years I’ve had a season ticket or the number of games and away grounds I’ve done , but basically I can’t justify the cost , I’m sick of being taken for granted by the powers that be . £50 for the champions league game , monthly direct debit for my season ticket , fuel prices sky high, utilities direct debit doubled , supermarket shop through the roof . Then they decide to play it at Easter weekend, don’t they realise people have other commitments??
Hopefully we beat Liverpool so then that becomes another trip , same with the Champions league .
Then from a playing point of view at the business end of the seat , two weeks wasted on meaningless international friendlies, catering for face painted pricks to bang fucking drums while singing rule Britannia.
The FA have known for over a year about the planned maintenance work , did they care or give a fuck ???
Good luck to all travelling but this latest fiasco has made me think , from now on it’s personal circumstances and finance first for me .

Great rant, I could not have done it any better. Easter weekend ffs, the wankers in blazers don't give a toss.

[Tim of the Oak]

they better do it quick then ,it opens at 9am tomoz

They won’t do it but it’s a good idea.

i was surprised when my question was asked and Danny didn’t fully understand how the old points system worked. Never mind.

I could probably have just about squeezed the costs somewhere, though given I'm going to Madrid it would have been a push, but it's on a weekend I've had planned to see family since Christmas. It really is a fucking stupid weekend to play it, I don't get it at all.

I would have thought 50 years support countless away games he'd be first on tickets so every chance of free coach.
