[BringBackSwales]

No new players,no KdB,no Bernardo or some others first team key players who just come to training, after Euro...

Really looking forward to it. First live match since Porto, some great players, some great youngsters, lots to see, really looking forward to it

Not sure I can justify probably £400+ on a glorified friendly these days.

£400 plus? You going down in a taxi?

And where’s the fun in that, my mates are still doing it, I prefer competitive games

Seems they have started opening the other half of the bottom tier, 1 block at a time.

 

[City & Blue Brazil]

Whats happened to the seat counters. One of the highlights of every wembley build up.

Hard to tell as not all blocks open, would guess we sold 12,000,Leicester have all blocks available for sale and have around 9,000 left so presumably sold 17,000.

The allocation is 26000 each but it’s full capacity so there may be more people in the ground than ticket sales suggest. They must be doing something with the other 36000.

When the ticket details were first announced I’m sure it said over 11’s have to show a negative LFT.. now it says over 18’s

which is it?

 

[citytill1die84]

Anybody heard when we're going to be able to print tickets off?

Edit :- Found that they're to be sent Wednesday for supporters to print off, happy days.

Come on City

I was wondering that too, I'd like to take my two but am restricted to maximum two tickets anyway, so either I don't go at all, or one of them has sad face for the entire weekend!

I e-mailed Wembley Stadium customer services last night and I got a reply first thing this morning

Under 18's do not need to provide a negative LFT

 

[paulchapo]

For those travelling down on a Friday there is a tube strike planned that day.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I presume a really shit attendance for this one. I don't know anyone who's even considered going.

These games are glorified friendlies really. Abroad they carry more kudos. Considering the games are between the two main trophy winners of the domestic season it's strange the trophy is not considered a real trophy, unless the rags or dippers win it of course.

The late kick off killed it for many I think. If you go by train you'd be sweating on the last one back meaning to avoid that stress you'd need to stay overnight, adding to the cost. We're also in the shit end of the stadium for pubs. There might be a late flurry bulks our end out s bit, I reckon we've probably sold 12-15,000 at present.
