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 !!!
Bought mine this morning too, Block 131 and booked the 08.20 Train from Piccadilly to Euston.
Bring on the Goons, lets hope the arsenal end is almost empty with 10 mins to go and the remaining dissenters are only staying to jeer Wenger

Sorry about your Dad.
Oddly enough, I got tickets for the Wigan final, through WAFC. It's a long story. As I said, no hope of me getting tickets for a final through City. It meant of course myself and my young lad had to sit in the Wigan end. In hindsight, at eleven years old he was just a little too young to comprehend the rules around that and I nearly had to sit on him to not give us away. I'm sure it was obvious by the end.
I made him stay until the end for them to lift the cup as a mark of respect, but he wasn't a happy camper.
Not a great memory tbh.
My brother is retired now and family circumstances wouldn't have allowed him get over for matches previously, but they've all grown up and he has the time and means now and I've been hoping to get him over for quite a while now.
Hope it works out. Still want to get him over to the Etihad though.

I'd have him on the bench even if he is unfit. Gives Wenger something to ponder about. And worry over

Put him in goals until he can run.

Quick question re the tickets. Mine arrived today, 3 concessionary and one full price. All are identical with £50 on them and no stubs. Is that correct or has someone at City dropped a bollock and I'll need to go dressed as Angus Young?

Not sure about all of that but my ticket doesn't have a stub either, so I'm sure that's ok.

Spoke to the ticket office and they said they can tell from the barcode and none have stubs.
Only problem is, I cant. So I have a 1 in 4 chance of using the right ticket at the gate and avoiding a shoeing from some cokerney security guard. Still, better odds than the lottery.

One of the lads did the tunnel tour? We might be sending thousands back at this rate.

3pm kick off on a Sunday for an FA Cup semi final.
Trains from Euston at 6 or 7pm will mean people are back in Manchester at 9 or 10.
If we don't sell out 32,000 for this semi final it really doesn't reflect well on the club. We have 40,000 season ticket holders plus supposedly a waiting list.
MANCINI Record at City
2009-10 League..................Pld 21 - W 11 - D 5 - L 5 - GF 40 - GA 18 - Pts 38...Finished 5th

2012-13 League..................Pld 36 - W 22 - D 9 - L 5 - GF 62 - GA 31 - Pts 75...Finished 2nd

European Cups record.........Pld 28 - W 13 - D 7 - L 8 - GF 43 - GA 29

And 50,000 singing were going to Wembley on Thursday, FFS get a ticket sell it out. It does not take a lot to confuse me, but City at Wembley we have fans making every excuse not to go, is a head scratcher and fucking embarrassing. We hate the CL yet moan about London on a Sunday!!!!! I do not get it.

I don't understand why this game can't be played at Villa Park. Would make perfect geographical sense.
Hijacked by the FA again, I suppose. Money making exercise to fill their pockets from a potentially full capacity Wembley two days in a row.
