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

In 2011 it turned the football league upside down Utd knew they were done and the game was up, Liverpool seem to have some momentum just now beating them twice in a week could bring it crashing down around their ears.

Hope so. We must rise to the challenge on and off the pitch.

No trains will be a nightmare.Up to 60,000 people heading in the same direction by road along with thousands getting away for Easter. Flying would be a better option.

Well 4 of us went in 2016 and we will be going to this game as well, be as negative as you want regarding ticket sales crack on, it’s the same every year before Wembley.

It’s because we didn’t sell out against Brighton the last time we were in a semi in front of fans. Think we were about 5000 short. Liverpool is a bigger appeal than Brighton though although the travel and Easter factor will put some off. Schools are off and a lot of people go away that week/weekend. It would be a good idea for the club to put transport on again given the issues with trains.

It's not being negative it's being realistic times are hard for quite a few, somebody posted a question of whether the game will go to general sale I think it will you think it'll sell out on first day of sale.I hope you're right.

300000. The rest fly in from Norway and Ireland.

Those going somewhere for Easter will have gone Thursday/Friday.

would like to see stats on how many actually get the train to fa cup semi finals. I bet it’s not as many to cause such a stink

Most people travel Thursday or Friday so Saturday should be a bit easier. The roads were very heavy for the league cup final against them though, particularly on the way back.

I was there and it was full from memory.

If any team wins both games it would be a massive blow to the other, effectively leaving them with one trophy to play for. Let's hope the winning team is us.

True, but I’d trade both to smash them in Paris.
