Difficult to say exact numbers at flum as the away end is also the neutral end I saw a bloke in full chelski regalia in the bolton end.

 

Oh a good few Koreans were in attendance too.

 

Ok then maybe they could do anybody who went to Fulham who has a previous purchasing history with BWFC so they arent one game wonders?

There would also be brum tickets to take into account i suppose. All im saying on the whole is i reckon people who have been to fa cup matches this season(especially fulham) should have some sort of priority over people who are buying open sale. ST holders and members should obviously come first.

Fortunately, im hopefully goin to Wembley at best or Craven Cottage at worst.

 

Be careful going to Craven Cottage as you might pick up a nasty attack of "Sour Grapes Disease" (SGD) which spread like wildfire from their manager to players to fans and then to the press box yesterday. Symptoms are halluncinating on foul play by opponents and repetitive chanting. Not to be confused with repetitive "Old Fogey Disease" (OFD) as evidenced by Alan Mullery at half time.

 

No major decisions against them and they still blame the referee. We didn't get a pen for a blatant push and they did get an honorary OT old boy 4 mins additional time at the end.

 

In Hughes case, a particularly nasty symptom is continuously remembering he once played for Utd and expecting free kicks and pens for nonfouls. Can be terminal with a bit of luck.

I have to say, I was rather surprised and amused by that circus

 

I reckon they've looked at the draw, seen Wigan or Bolton @ home after playing a midweek replay and following their demolition of Spurs, assumed they'd walk into the quarters

 

We had all of the clear cut chances

 

And where were they when they were shit....

The danger with the ticket allocation is that the ticket office won't have learned lessons from previous finals or, more accurately, the final against Boro.

 

If they give S/T holders too many tickets per S/T then some non S/T holders will be left to beg, steal or plead for a ticket that they are no less deserving than the S/T holder who has never considered attending anything except home games.

[/b]

Bollocks! S/T holders should always get priority. Bolton messed up in the Carling Cup Final by failing to guarantee that all S/T holders got one. This was unacceptable as we had around 30 thousand tickets and less than 20 thousand S/T holders.

 

Show me, in the post you are replying to, where I intimated that S/T holders shouldn't get priority. My point was about the number of tickets each S/T holder gets.

 

Surely then it should be one per season ticket, then whatever is left open sale. Fk giving season ticket holders two plus tickets etc so they can take wags etc who never go a game. Whould have to take chance in open sale if non season ticket holder and sit separate at game.

 

Nothing up with taking the one back when you queue for the open sale one and then getting two together.

it was amusing

 

but given our loudest chant per game is often that "Cheat" one, I think we're all guilty of it

IF Bolton did get to wembley there would be no need to have a priority voucher policy, we have x thousand ST holders 13/14 at a guess so everyone can have one, then it is open sale = simples.

 

I would hope that the ticket office have learnt that they can't give 2 per ST, if they do the place needs storming!

All this talk of ticketing for Wembley is vexing me

 

It will put a fucking curse on us - stop it now you daft fuckers!

 

I know

 

all talk SHOULD be about whether or not we'd get one for St Andrews...

Fair enough but I disagree that a non S/T holder who attends regular away games is equally deserving as your original post suggested

Posted

I never mentioned non-S/T holders being more deserving than S/T holders. There are folk on here who don't attend home games but rarely miss an away game. They prefer the atmosphere at away games or, more likely, despise the non-atmosphere at the Reebok.

What I was saying was that I didn't think this fan was any less deserving of a cup final ticket than the wife of a S/T holder.

Will I get one after being a season ticket holder for 36 years before moving to Tenerife?

If we get to Wembley for the semis hopefully the club have learnt their lesson from the Boro game,the thing that might be a problem is getting hotels,its the same weekend as the London Marathon.

Im not the ticket office or owt but if you buy one when they go on open sale yes.

a very good point to be fair - would they let you do that?

I would think so. It may make their job more difficult later on as they'll have lots of single tickets but that probably wouldn't bother them.

It'd more likely send their brains into meltdown.

Sky said we took around 500.

You always think there is more when you are in amongst it !!

 

Anyway, doesn't matter as we are through - well done lads.

 

We had tickets right behind the goal and all our lot was to the left side; I reckon there was about 1200 - 1500 there
