Is that official Hazy? I heard they were looking at the Thursfay but Boro weren't for swapping the Saturday game with them to Sunday. Hence the Derby being on the Wednesday?


No, just told it as I heard it from a rag.


A rag who was right !

You best going to NEWSNOW.NET for results and fixtures as this site does not keep up with results or fixture changes etc.I've mentioned it on various occasions but nothing comes of it , in the end I dont bother clicking on anything other than the forum.

Why don't you take some banners? You can write on them "Why are we on Sunday FA?" Organise three of them and the media will be sure to notice.

What's the uptake on tickets for this been like. I know a lot on here initially said they weren't going if it was on Sunday.

Tickets won't be available to me until 7th of April, because of my ticket points total.

Was going to bring my older brother over if I got my hands on two tickets. He's a City fan too but hasn't been over to see us since the 70's in Maine Road.

What's the prospects of the allocation getting that far.

I reckon you will be fine with that total to get tickets. Will be on level 5 though as level 1 will be gone by then

Anywhere would do. Won't book flights until I'm sure.

Not sure how your brother will get on. Only allowed one ticket each so he may struggle if he has no points etc?

The missus has a Cityzen card also. Would it be a problem using hers?

No that won't be a problem as long as they don't sell out first. I have my ticket on level 1 but could do with another. I was just wondering if they were going to allow 2 tickets per season card. That would have helped me out.

I used to dream of days like these. No chance I am.missig out on these games ever, I have been through enough shit to know that I should cherish every possible moment. You never know when the next one will.come.

Apart from Maine road and the Etihad, Wembley is my 3rd home.

Sincerely hope you have a great day pal , the Sunday ko just doesn't work for us . Hoping the team do us proud but I and a few mates are losing the love . Will be going to the final if we get there but that is a huge IF the way we are shaping !

City at Wembley on a Sunday. I just do not get it, One of my mates is not going as he has work on a Monday. And.....Please do not have a pop I will not be replying. It's City at Wembley is all I need, Monday is looking after itself 52 x a year until we retire FFS.

There is a suspicion we won't sell out, so it may well be quite easy to get extras

Really ? Hopefully it's just the hardcore that go rather than the ' Wembley ' fans that used to live sitting down in silence even bloody row z 5th tier.

I miss the buzz of the derby semi

Yeah well, if 32,000 hardcore decide to go and the allocation doesn't reach me, so be it.
I won't moan or complain.
Thing is. The chances of me ever having enough points for a Wembley final are slim to none.
If some hardcore decide to pick and choose and I benefit, well I'll take my good fortune, thank you very much.

I'll make sure that you can hear me from the fifth tier or wherever I end up.

Hope you get tickets mate. By hardcore I mean the blues that relish every game come rain or shine, rather than who has the most points. We've all been in situations where circumstances mean you can't keep going/can't have a season ticket.

Just got mine. Tier 1 for once (usually always 5th tier, and even ask for the back Row as one time there were aload wanting to sit down). Not had to sit down since the only place I could get a season ticket was Row A in 109 and barely sat then, so I'm not sitting down for a wembley semi final! So any moaners get used to it. Saving grace is the stewards at Wembley are all nice lads (not like Showsec). My Dad, who suddenly and unexpectedly passed last month went and stood with the disabled fans because he was getting stick from some ''blues'' vs. Wigan. Livid that day, he was on his own as we were all split up in different tiers. Was fuming.

Come on City, Win the cup for my Dad !!!
