Agree with everything you say, the only thing about that Spurs game was a few thousand Spurs fans in our end intent on trouble which they got and they thinned out a bit towards the end, you won't get that at the new Wembley as they can easily be identified1. Random searches inside and outside the stadium.
2. Banner size markers painted on the walls inside Wembley. Banner too big, can't take it in. Rule randomly applied.
3. Stewards next to escalators, advising fans.
4. Overpriced beer and food. Both are shit.
5 £10 matchday programme.
6. Warning announcements of when the match is starting, with advice to take your seat.(Airport style) 15min, 10min, 5 minutes before the match.
7. Pathetic plastic mini flags in each seat to wave for the fans. H&S bullshit. Gone are the days of.....
8. High wire acts and video screen entertainment pre-match.
9. Abide with me drowned out by an Opera singer.
10. Players disappearing into the stand, and then reappearing again before picking up the trophy.(Foster's bullshit Wembley stadium design)
11.Contrived fireworks, music, and podium display.
12. Anything other reason why you think the FA have absolutely killed the FA Cup final day.(London, traffic, rip-off parking costs, groups of stewards walking around the concourse, journey times, the FA using us to pay of their folly of a national stadium, the list is f***ing endless!)

Good stuff where you seen that Marvin
I would say at between 30 and 45 minutes. Its quite well organised and moves quicker than you would imagine from the hordes in front of you.

Living in Ramsbottom I try and get down to see Bury sometimes when City arent playing. Bury put the attendance up on the screen during the match including how may away fans travelled and there was about 200 Coventry CITY fans who made up the attendance... fuck me there was more FC Utd fans at the Ramsbottom Utd game. The fuckers should change their name to Coventry Village fc

Once you're inside it's easy. The problem is getting along Olympic Way into the station. Can take around 30 minutes.

All this slagging off of us not selling out our allocation has probably given the club free publicity to shift the remaining tickets by looks of it, the raggy media is actually unintentionally helping the club.bet they won't be reporting when it's sold out.
Don't know if the link below works as I'm not very techno, but it's basically a link to an article from 2007 FA Cup Semis played at Villa Park and the Swamp. Out of the four semi finalists (Rags, Chelsea, Watford and Blackburn), only the Rags sold out with Chelsea failing to sell 8,000 of their 31,000 allocation. And this was before semis were moved to Wembley!! Oh and guess what the Chelsea excuse was.. Yes, a Sunday afternoon KO up North!

Restricted view tickets have now gone on sale so this is close to selling out.

You have to laugh,the media have beat us with the empty seats stick now for a few seasons and lazy fans of other clubs just accept it as true,without looking at their own clubs,can you imagine a few years down the line the commentator,"city unbelievably going for the final part of the quadruple here in the champions league final,but just over there is that about 5 or 6 empty seats I see"..
No seats together available in any blocks now so must have sifted a load today, looks like it will sell out as single seats only left.
Rags haven't sold out tonight, do you think it will get a mention, obviously can't expect fans to travel from London to Manchester ona Thursday night.

FFS. Went for a curry tonight, talking about us not selling out on the radio. Few left and still selling, so what's the big deal. Then rag on table behind us taking the piss out of us, and he was watching their bigThursday night game tonight on the box! Hypocritical C.nt. Probably never goes. Said in a loud voice to my girlfriend that I believe that tonight's game isn't sold out as the vermin have trouble getting up from London during the week. What is it with us that gets this sh.t.

Not a fucking chance will it get mentioned and when it has it's the old chestnut "there's been a multiple vehicle pile up a few miles from old Trafford so a huge number of fans can't get here at the moment"..
