Wembley desire

The old Wembley was even worse behind the scenes, but it had a genuine feeling of history and glory about it. The walk along Wembley Way towards the towers was special, with the stadium looming larger as you approached it.

Now, it's just another road to another football ground surrounded by high rise buildings, in an otherwise near-derelict run down part of London.

Yes every game, semi-finals, Charity Shield, and FM Final, it's a big day, big game for all of us. I would prefer the semi-finals to be played at a neutral ground, but it's not going to happen any time soon. Everyone is different but I dreamed of going to Wembley as a kid and still do, it's a great day out regardless, and I go to support City as they need our backing, the semi final last year was a let down not only on the pitch but off it, so many lads I know who couldn't be bothered to turn up, that disappointed me more than the result. This thread is about our desire, LET'S start showing it again.

Meh.

Wembley is the FA's cash cow. We're all being taken for mugs. Some of us are sick of it and don't go, some aren't sick of it, and do.

When City get to Wembley, tickets sell out. It doesn't matter whether or not you know those who go as long as they're supporting City.

I don't see people getting fed up of Wembley as a problem to be honest.
 
My old lodger was Juventus and managed to get to the CL Final at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium v Real Madrid. He was gushing when he got back saying how great it was.

For anyone who doesn’t know the Welsh capital, the stadium is slap bang in the city centre with everything going on around it. Semis there for a London club v Northern club is an option.

i went to the old wembley v spurs that time , cant remember much except the towers and how far away from the pitch we were

i stayed in a hotel just down from the new wembley and it was a right dump on that road in the morning when the streets were empty ,the hotel was ok but the street itself was depressing , i dont get city folk unless you are rich and live in nice parts

It’ll happen one day but a cup final v the rags will be an absolute nightmare.

The novelty wore off for me when we began to dominate the League Cup. Attending became an expensive chore.

I got over it but the Wigan FA Cup loss haunted me. To the day, I’ve never seen the highlights.

Me neither.

Does that include SEMI-FINALS?

You have a point about finals.

But semi-finals! The FA are taking the piss and have done ever since they moved the semi-finals to Wembley to rinse the fans even more. I won’t mention the Community Shield.

Wether you like it or not, call me what you want, I won’t give the FA my money for semi-finals at Wembley. They’re just ripping me and other City fans off. There’s nothing wrong with Old Trafford, a 60,000+ Anfield next season, or good old Villa Park for a semi-final.

I'm sure most of us agree that having FA cup semi finals there is a joke, but we're stuck with it, and it's no fault of the club.
How demoralising it must be for our great team to come out at wembley only to see our end half full and our opponents end jam packed.
I know we've been there more times than anyone in the last 12 years which means some of our fans have become a bit spoilt. These good times won't last forever so we should make the most of every visit. I don't like lining the FA pockets either, but supporting City outweighs it.

It's a rundown, rather depressing part of London. Take the walk down from the Green Man to the stadium (Dagmar Ave, is it?). You'll pass plenty houses that have seen better days. Or High Road, a lot of old shops on there. Take away the hotels and the stadium, and there's not much going for Brent.
 
The new Wembley might not have the nostalgia of the old Wembley, but the old Wembley was old and the facilities were outdated, the new Wembley is good I don't see a huge problem as stadia go, yes its a rip off agree, but when we talk about the surrounding area its not good, but other Towns and Cities are no different, I don't know what any of this has got to do with going, If City get to a semi-final everyone should want to go, last seasons semi-final was poorly supported, we couldn't sell our tickets, and it affected our support that day, the lads who went hats off, but those who didn't, because of this that and the other ?????????????.
You don't have to get ripped off if you are careful, and watch where you drink and eat, and travel buy coach with local supporters clubs etc. Again this is about Desire, going to wembley means we are successful, I want to go as many times as possible, being proud to wear my colours with lots of other blues, and shout like fuck and hope we win, Wembley Desire, am in.
