I can't afford a ticket, but it's someone else's fault. I haven't got enough loyalty points, but it's someone else's fault. I didn't join the cup scheme, but it's someone else's fault. I got banned for smoking, but it's someone else's fault. I can't get a job, but it's someone else's fault. Pathetic.

I don't speak for anyone else here but for me it's not about not being able to afford something, I had the money but turned it down, for me it's about value for money and if they're taking the piss charging £115 for a ticket to an FA Cup final against Wigan then sorry but I just don't see that as value for money. When you think you could buy a season ticket at Bayern Munich for less than that I think it highlights the problem.

Anyway it's each to their own, some choose to spend the money, others don't. Me I'll still enjoy watching the team lift that trophy no matter where I happen to watch it.
 
Protesting after you have paid your money?

The FA won't care, thet have already got the pockets filled.

If you don't want to pay it then don't.

But there will always be somebody else who will.

Nice idea just not realistic in this day and age, the only thing that would stop it would be an empty Wembley?

Then again, Wigan and Millwall had a half empty Wembley and nothing has changed.

£65 for front row of the FA Cup final far more tempting than £45 for a dead rubber v Swansea. £115 takes the piss though, as does every away price this season bar Wigan, and maybe Sunderland, Stoke, Everton and United.

I'm going to the Cup Final to watch and support my team. To enjoy myself and the weekend not to protest.
I think we are quickly turning into the scousers! Always looking for 'a cause' always being wronged. Always looking for the negative / critical angle so we can 'protest'.
Fucking grow up!
I'm going to watch and support my team as well but football is being stolen from us bit by bit. One day you won't be able to watch a game because it's too expensive, on at an inconvenient time or so many tickets have been given to non-football fans. Then you'll think "We should so something" but it'll be too late.

PB. I know what your saying is right, but there are so many other things that are way more important, that if we change those, football will become cheaper, domestic fuel bills and the cost of fuel at the forecourt, two areas which like a bunch of limp dicks we simply accept. In Germany and France they pay nearly 94% less per unit of electricity, because they passed legislation limiting the increases that power companies could charge per year to being 1% below inflation.

You do not talk about that Germany that stops nuclear energy, or?
