There won't be 60,000 fans going from Manchester mate..we will get about 30,000 and the rags might scrape together a following of 5000 from North West area..Can Avanti West Coast/M6 cope with 60k Mancs travelling to London at once? I'm on the same page as you - between the size of the allocation, the fact a lot of folk already have plans for June 3, and the logistical challenge, I think there might be more availability than we'd expect. The cheaper tickets will go quick though. For Mancs based in London - students, younger workers etc - it's a dream.
Because they can injure one of ours and then have the shit kicked out of them, it doesn’t stop that player being Crocked.Why does this nonsense keep cropping up?
We have a team of lads,at least half a dozen,who would kick fuck out of most if things turn physical/nasty.
I know because I get them from a friend whenever City a final. They go to all the FA member clubs but to buy one you have to state which club you are supporting. So for an FA Cup final there are maybe 5000 tickets in each end which are sold via those routes. If they aren't taken up they go to the club to sell in addition to their inital allocation
My point is that the vast majority of these tickets don't go to neutrals, they go to fans of the clubs playing. There are neutrals/corporate people on level 2 abnd in that block around the halfway line but very few in tiers one and three.
Allocations for Liverpool and Chelsea last year were 30,500. Liverpool were going for the quad so huge demand. I cannot see why we won't get that figure.The football family will take their tickets so we won't get anything like we got for Watford, and for Stoke we had less season ticket holders and they missed out.
For everyone put off there will be double wanting to go. All sponsors and partners, and hospitality, staff and ex staff will want as many as they can get. I think closers to 28k allocated and 5k will be top sliced.
They are a bunch of wrong'uns. If we batter them it will not be pleasant after
Because they can injure one of ours and then have the shit kicked out of them, it doesn’t stop that player being Crocked.
Good move. Lincs FA and the Army FA both came up trumps for that 2011 final for me.I've already emailed my local FA stating asking if they can help with obtaining tickets in the City end.
Police won't sanction 5-30 and are proposing no later than 3pm.Has the kick-off time been announced yet?
Apologies if it's been asked already.
I’m no shrinking violet but I walked out down WW after that game relatively early post match (as my Dad wanted to get back to out hotel in central London and he was about 68 god rest him) and it was the least comfortable I’ve ever felt at a football game. Saw more than a couple sky punches thrown at blues minding their own business by feral scum in packs that afternoon.It was awful on Wembley way after the semi in 2011. I know I won’t be going back that way this time. Once you are on WW , it’s impossible to get out with the crowd all around you if it kicks off.
I understand why people are concerned.
