Semi-final draw: City v Arsenal 3pm Sunday confirmed

[chaddblue]

Went from Ruislip last year

Just off end of M40, two or 3 boozers on high st by the tube station, including a JJ Moons and 3 or 4 stops to wembley

 

[chaddblue]

Yea. Looks like just off the motor way 25 min of train , can save money with train as got company car and got my13 year old nethpew with me

Gone from Watford a few times. Stayed in the Mercure just off the M1

Watfords a good option if we're allocated our usual end as the train stops at Wembley High Street where all our pubs would be

 

[M19 BLUE since 66]

If we get millwall we should get 42,000 like against Wigan

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Will be our 9th visit in 6 years

I get 8..... what am I missing?
2 FA cup semis, 2 finals, 2 league cup finals and 2 charity shields.
We had to play another charity Shield at Villa Park because of the Olympics.

Sounds very posh

It's Hampstead that is posh (and even closer to Wembley).

Have we ever lost an FA Cup semi final?

The semi against United was one of the most magical days watching City I can remember. This might be one rule you choose to change.

That semi vs Utd would easily get in my top ten games of the 40 odd years on being a season-ticket holder! Indeed it was a seminal game, the moment we overtook the Rags as genuinely the best team in the land.

Being a Manc in exile, Wembley is not far short of a home game; in fact, it will be the shortest journey to a match I have this season so I rather like the fact the semi's are at Wembley.

In principle, I am old fashioned and think Wembley should be reserved for the final but which grounds are suitable now to hold a semi? Ours, The Swamp, The Emirates and maybe St James' but the latter is so out out the way. This time round, we will be playing a London club as that is all that's left and Villa park, for instance, is no longer fit for purpose. The Emirates is just smaller than Wembley and in a more inconvenient location in London.

Have we ever lost an FA Cup semi final?

Not since 1932 (Arsenal) apparently. Won eight in a row. Spin that how you want.

 

[Silva's Magic Boot]

Have we ever lost an FA Cup semi final?

Not since 1932 against Arsenal, won all 8 we've played in since.

Overall record is 10 wins from 12 FA Cup semi-finals

I'm thinking of driving to Watford , staying in hotel n train to the game as hotel bit cheaper

Done that the last few times the station has a massive cheap car park and a good pub beside it ,the flag.
You can go in via train or underground if you want to get off at the top of Wembley way

Is it better to go train or tube ? Probably want the end where we are

 

[zandvoort blue]

Drive to High Wycombe.....overland train straight to Wembley station within a couple of hundred yards from the forecourt.

Give me Chelsea in the semi and let the North Landan wankers knock the shit out of each other in the other semi.

 

[citytill1die84]

Arse Vs Spurs

City Vs rags or Chelsea

Depends what you want to do the train station has a massive car park about £5 for the day .then about a 20 min walk to the stadium past a load of pubs which may or may not be city depending on which end we get.
The tube station has a smaller car park which you may struggle to get a space in.but it drops you at the top of Wembley way.
Watford station is about 10 mins off the motorway and you miss all the traffic going in and out of Wembley .think both train fares are less than £10 just borrow someone's railcard you can use that on the underground..
The flag pub by the station will be rammed with blues .

How easy is it to get a ticket if you can't get one through the club? My Wembley seems to have great gone now.

 

[willipp]
