    Spot on. The atmosphere will be dire wherever you are. I'll be getting a £45 ticket, and I resent paying that much. It is unthinkable to fork out £65-80 for a ***** experience.

    In fairness to Brighton they had about 3 decisions go against them so they probably deserved to go through. City had all the luck

    The club wembley seats are ok. Food outlets and bar a bit pricey. The celloist at the bar was ok but not a normal football experience.

    They're already planning ahead to the cup final on their forum. Embarrassing small time mentality showing it's their first big day out in over 20 years. We've had 6 in the same time (2 Championship Play-Off finals and 4 FA Cup Semi-Finals). A lot of our extended fan base aren't going to be flying from half way around the world or whatever for this match. It's an important match but not even a standout in recent times. Bless them though for being so excited.

    Im in home cat C so can't buy until Mon. I suspect ill be ok but;

    Why can a STH buy a ticket for their mum or wfc supporting mate before I can get one? Should be limited to +1 WITH fan ID.

    All the good seats (on the row after the price changes) will be gone.

    Wolves fans laughing at our singing section will be suprised at being outsung because their singing fans will be spread all over with the sun beating down on them losing 3-0. W****rs.

    The lad that missed the first pen for Millwall.. Marlon Romeo.. is Jazzie B's son. So it was back to reality for the Lions.

    I *think* that's a little unfair as, for a large soulless corporate venture offering excellent and access to on-site retail outlets, I have nearly always had an acceptable view of the pitch - you sure you're not confusing the abysmal sight-lines at the 'London Stadium'? The only poor Wembley view was, when guests of our 'parent' rugby club, at the Sarries - Saffer match, when we were sat just above the dugouts and most of the match was watched on the screens.

    Not sure what is actually sadder, the usual delusions of a fan base with, bigger club than we are mentality or an actual online version of a local newspaper publishing those comments as “research”. Makes TalkSport look positively professional.

    Of course, they’ll say it’s just harmless bantz.

    Urban dictionary definition of bantz: General response to being found out as an utter, complete **** of the highest order.

    As the 1881 have a block purchase separately and already agreed I don't think you need to concern yourselves with who is getting first dibs because they are.
    All well planned this time around.

    I should add that if you want to join them for this match (the 1881) then email them today, the more the merrier I would think.

    As you say, all those complaining about being "real" supporters and not getting first choice of the tickets should follow the information on the website.

    1881 SECTION
    If you’d like to be part of a dedicated ‘1881 Section’ for this tie, please do not purchase directly yourself. Instead, email the1881movement@yahoo.com and they will provide details of how to pay as part of their bulk order

    Bringing my 6 year old, who was 3 last time and outsung most of the section he was in. However probably he won't appreciate the smelly drunkards in the singing section (or his mother won't at least).

    Absolutely agree.

    I fear this game is going to be full of little-club fans moaning about the price of everything, unable to find their way around a big stadium and whinging about the number of stairs they have to climb everytime they want to empty thier weak bladders.

    Wembley is made for fans of successful big teams that are used to glory not the likes of Watford and Wolves.

    Cancel this match now and relegate us to the forth tier.

    2-1 Watford and double the whining about ‘having’ to pay again to go to the final.

    Surely you want to submit your fan ID to ensure both Cup Final tickets and Europa League ones next season?

    Why would anyone be a plus 1 on a ST and miss out on that glory

    I think ST holders can give fan ID for the extra ticket? Then that person gets credited with history.

    Your brothers wifes cousin who is really an Arsenal fan fancies coming to the game, and can do because you'll buy a ticket for them.

    Surely the team is allowed to use the dugout.
     
  20. These quotes are, as usual, only from 1 or 2 fans and not representative of most of them from what I've read.

    1 if them said the singing section us a good idea and they would do well to follow it.

    I think they generally sound as nervous as we are and the majority see it as 50/50 like we do.

    Our cat is called Romeo.

    We hadn't considered adding the Marlon element, & certainly won't be now.

    Yep but it's wierd the club haven't made that compulsory for ST holders to have to do

    Romeo the cat would have taken a better penalty.
    Poor fellow looked very nervous.I felt nervous watching him.

    I expected something from Wodehouse, to be frank.

    Finknottle, perhaps.

    Depends what Category they are in. We have a few group C's in the squad.

    Rendered by the purists as Fink-Nottle.

    The cat in Wodehouse is Augustus.

    Cat slept through the episode.

    I prodded him as people do when a namesake is in the public eye.

    At a metre long & a stone in weight, he is an imposing beast.

    Make sure you dont rely on th whole of Wembley being contactless, cos it ain't...

    Im not a real ale buff, but the only thing worth drinking in there is the Hobgoblin, and that comes from a cash only kiosk.
