I will head to Manchester see the bus and then go for a beer.
There will be people in the stadium who cant afford to go to games. It doesnt mean they support us any less than I do. I am just fortunate enough to be able to afford to go.
Nothing will beat the thrill of being at wembley when we lifted our first cup since I started going 34 years ago. I dont think any future trophy will compare either.
Fully concur with this.
Some of us were fortunate to see it happen on Saturday and i don't begrudge anyone who didn't get to go and have managed to get a 'free' ticket for Monday.
I'm going all retro on Monday. My sister took me to see them bring it back in 69 when i was 4,so she's insisting on taking me again to Albert Sq this Monday.
I'll be the one on the 'space hopper'.....!

I don't think many City fans would pass a ticket on to a United fan when he must know loads of blues who'd want one. This is a red herringSkashion said:Hard as it is to believe, some rags live in Manchester and some rags have blue mates and don't hate us so much that they'll pass up on a free party.Marvin said:Not necessarily. When there are 5 people chasing every ticket then 4 will have tried and failed..
I found it really difficult because of time and lack of transport to get tickets so I doubt any Utd fans will have been that desperate to get tickets.
You can't just distribute them to seasoncard holders because on a Monday night 10s of thousands wouldn't / couldn't go.
Maybe it should have been 2 max per card, and you shouldn't be able to queue again. But how do you do that without using the Ticket Office. Not easy
My solution would have been to let seasoncard holders activate theirs on whatever day online, then Citycard holders on the next day, then Accesscard holders if any remain.

The point being that no attempt had been made to assure they get into the hands of those who deserve them the most. There's clearly big blues on here unable to get them as evidenced by the exchange thread whereas there is anecdotal evidence that people who aren't particularly bothered, even rags in the very worst cases, have got them. I cannot understand why some people on here cannot comprehend that others would think there is something wrong with that.Marvin said:I don't think many City fans would pass a ticket on to a United fan when he must know loads of blues who'd want one.

It's for all City fans who have waited 35 yearsONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN said:The club got it totally wrong IMO.
Myself was at the Cup Final and had no plans to go to the stadium but will be taking my sons to the Town Hall but season tickets should have been given priority for the showing as many didn't have the chance to get to Wembley.
I know of numerous fans who have maybe attended 2 games all season who will be attending the homecoming and also fans who have been ST who have missed out.
