maybe as to why Tottenham can, and we can't

well the club can’t answer that - they didn’t make the stupid rules. But it’s totally unfair & the club has been shafted again.

The only lateral test site in manchester on the Saturday is at the town hall but appointments finish at 1310 do you think that will be acceptable or is 1330 deffo cut off time.

640 seats left on sale.

I'm not surprised, even on open sale they'll struggle to shift them. A joyless mask wearing, possibly alcohol free day, after stressing trying to arrange tests, in a near empty stadium, with a gruelling coach trip there and back and a weakened side that has put in two horrible back to back performances. It's going to be a tough sell.

I bought one this morning. Might have thought differently after today’s performance but it’s a day out. The last one I went to was the same game last year!

Fucking let them.

Fucking let them.

I know.

I almost did the same but I was getting caught up in the memory of what a cup final usually means. Travel up the day before, meet friends, have a laugh and a piss up and see our first eleven make a decent fist of it. Enjoy the atmosphere afterwards and travel home the next day. Then I realised what this one would be like and thought for £100+ minimum, no.

I’ve not spent more than 2 grand on season tickets, away trips, a Europe trip etc in the last year so £130 for a ticket and a train doesn’t seem too bad even if it’s not the usual day out. There’s been no information about the train or stadium being dry so hopefully will manage a few drinks but it’s not the end of the world if I don’t.

The coach was the nail in the coffin for me, I just can't face it.

Another way of looking at it is that the only way we get back to that normality is if people take part in trials like this and they're a success.

What's more, I haven't watched City live in over a year. I don't go just for a drink, had enough of that at home in front of the telly. And it's a cup final.

Each to their own though.

Neither could I which is why I went for the train option for an extra £30 although it now looks like the train’s full and only coaches are left.

The league cup final last year was my last game too. I'll put this to bed now as I appear to have given the impression drink is a massive part of the occasion for me, it's not. It's more the meeting friends and socialising pre/post game. I'm not a big drinker.

It's the stress of getting the tests. It's not having the freedom to choose how and when I travel down. It's having to go on a coach which I hate. It's wearing a mask all the time, during both journeys and during the game. It's being spanked £50 for the privelage of being a test dummy by the fa and government. It's paying ,£50 to go on a slow coach when with my Priv pass I could get a return train ticket for about £23 if allowed. It's the knowledge the majority of the side that was abysmal against both Leeds and Chelsea will play so as good as handing Spurs the cup, as poor as they've been.

To everyone going have a great day and I hope I'm wrong.

Yep, train was sold out before I qualified to buy a ticket.

 

[Ctidpaul]

That’s no good for Wembley. It has to be a lateral flow test and it needs to be at a test site (can’t be done at home)

I know,I’m booked at Stockport on Saturday

 

[Whether or not]

It takes at least 30 mins for your LFT result, so a 13.10 appointment will give you a result timed after 13.30. To be sure walk around at the pace of Sergio when he is getting substituted and waste a bit of time. I am due there at 13.50 so if the staff are moaning about a time wasting customer I will know it is you :)

 

[DTKOAG]

Still over 600 tickets left

 

[John Wayne]

Yep, train was sold out before I qualified to buy a ticket.

This is the crux of the matter. The fact that people are mandated to travel by a designated mode of transport is more off-putting than having to get a lateral flow test. If people could choose to drive then this would have sold out long ago. Coach travel is just so unappealing for many people.

 

[urban genie]

Just had the email of me being able.to buy, counted just over 500 seats left and travel was only offered coach not train

Not going anyway but just putting info out
