    Spot on. I wouldn’t consider flying home for a semi-final, but I’ve already got my eyes on flights for the final. Ultimate glory hunter move.

    That said, my couple of games have been the shocker at home to Swansea last year, and a despicable excuse for a football match against Wolves on Boxing Day under Joka, when it was freezing, raining, and utterly miserable.

    Maybe I won’t come back, after all.

    I thought the hyphen to be unnecessarily fiddly for a feline name.

    We got him from a shelter & he answered to Romeo.

    Obviously, ever since then he has looked blankly whenever we’ve used that name.

    Both fans will be ****, Wolves underestimate how poor sound travels and we'll have about 20,000 day trippers.

    The media are absolutely piling the pressure on Wolves, saying how wonderful they are. Are they forgetting that they lost to Huddersfield 4 games ago?

    When you called him in at night did you utter "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo ?"

    They seem to think Wembley is some sort of cauldron of noise. Plenty of 'bigger' clubs with noisier followings than us have had to have designated a signing section to try to get anything going. But hey, they know better.

    Wouldn't let him in.. poor buying history.

    btw with much of the football world against us it's gonna be amazing when we win the cup.. probably the greatest sporting achievement of all time. Perhaps we can go into one of those Norwegian commentator type rants after we win..

    Are Wolves going to crack out the 'you let us down again' banner that they take to every Wembley game, just in case.

    I don't know. I didn't think that Wolves had been to Wembley before.

    Well, he did go missing after about a month.

    The vet advised going round the neighbourhood calling his name, either late at night or early in the morning to minimise background noise.

    So indeed, after 3 days, the missus & I did do this after 10pm.

    My efforts were little more than lipsyncing.

    Anybody successfully got onto the ticket site yet?

    My waiting circle has been stuck on the last 1/4 for 20 minutes.
     
  16. Mine has been on 1/12 for 25 minutes.

    I am stuck at '57 minutes'
     
  18. Presumably they only let a few through at a time to prevent people trying to grab the same tickets?

    Are we the underdogs in the W Derby?

    Same for me...the waiting time message changed from 0 to 30 minutes to 30 to 60 minutes almost as soon as it appeared.
    Even more annoying is that it looked like I'd logged on at 10:02 & it just kicked me out & then when I went back in I got the waiting circle & message...how can a specialist ticket sales line not be able to handle the traffic they must have known they'd get...
     
  21. Whatever you do, don't refresh your page.!
    I had a second window open to see what would happen - it literally goes 'full circle'.

    Why don't you just call Ticketmaster instead?

    I was at about 57 mins and then bumped back to the start, with a notice saying 'wait more than 60 minutes'. Ridiculous. If Glastonbury can sell out of 180,000 tickets from one site (See, owned by Ticketmaster) in less than 30 mins with member registration required why can't Ticketmaster, a f***ing joke of a site, get things done more quickly here? It's not as if most of us haven't got work to do.....:mad:

    Tickets purchased - all very quick and easy.

    Bravo!

    Must be taking ticketmaster a while to sell their tickets on to Viagogo first.

    They release tiggets to the touts first before releasing them to the fans.
     
  28. I would do, but I want to buy with my mate, and I don't know his membership number, and I would normally get it by going to my group on the ticketing site, but as soon as you load it you're in the q and can do nothing else.

    Going to struggle to sit on the phone for how many ridiculous minutes they'll put in a queue for.

    Shambles as it always is. In queue for over an hour now. Been stuck on “up to 30 minutes” the whole time. Tinpot.

    I have 100 tickets here available at £25 each. Just transfer funds into my Nigerian bank account and I will post them to you.

    I refreshed when in the q and that worked in terms of getting me to the login page and in.

    Thank me later.

    only 5,800 tickets left. WOW!!

    It's their cup final.

    Get promoted, stay up easily, even flirt with europe. Getting to wembley for the semi is the cherry on top. When they lose the day will still be all about them.

    Not that it will affect many people but the previous confirmation that max 20 tickets could be purchased it's now 9.

    It's only that a few who can't get online or call today could have asked a mate to get them
