Had hotels reserved for months for the variety of dates that it could have been on that weekend. Hopefully won't be needed.

Just booked Prem Inn Wembley Stadium £70 for 2 nights, fully refundable upto 3 days before.  

Any particular reason for booking near Wembley rather than closer to Central London?

I've got a two night in Shoreditch or a one night near Euston depending on whether we go down on the Sunday or Monday. Won't be bothering if there isn't any scope of fans attending though.

[Guest]

Think there will be fans just what size allowed don’t forget the cup finals are before on them trials 

[captainmed]

12-30 or 17-30PM. 

Up to the clubs to agree.

Agreed. And that’s to the club so I’m guessing alot of them will go to sponsors players families etc possibly? Waste of time

Before they won the lottery they got 3,007 v Mansfield in the Freight Rover. Put them on sale to those people

from the BBC report, 2k to each but also:

There will be 8,000 fans in total at Wembley - the most at an outdoor sporting event in the UK since the coronavirus pandemic brought about the first lockdown in March 2020 - with the remaining allocation split between groups including Brent residents and NHS staff.

NHS staff?? Why, this is all getting ridiculous now?

Might just be a token number, just to be able to say they've done it.

Also, no under 18s allowed, negative tests required and:

Manchester City, who are the EFL Cup holders after beating Aston Villa 2-1 win in last season's final, have said 1,750 tickets will be available to fans who live in Greater Manchester and the immediate surrounding areas, with the remaining 250 on sale to fans in London and south-east England.

Fucking gash thats what it is, no self respecting fan would wanna go to that, every Citeh fan at work have said fuck off.

Would you not go and watch us if we were in the final?

We've got plenty who will happily go and have a beer in the town where we are playing, yet not see the match. But going to a vastly reduced attendance match is worse?

You're very welcome pal. 

Had a walk down there today, bumped into Smiley's brother on the railway bridge. Brought back memories.

I googled railway bridge Burnden Park,  some excellent other links came up, one was a pic of the away end on 27th December, 1983, I think we beat Oxford 1 nil that day.

Have a beer in the town, yes.

1. How do you put a fair process in place of who gets tickets.

2. Sat there with a mask on like a happy clapper... no thanks.

3. 4k in a 90k stadium, how the fuck can you test that out for it being towards getting the crowd to full capacity, its shit and you know it.

I never said it wasn't a bit shit. I just didn't get the ' no self respecting fan would go'.

You can always have the beers with your mates in the pubs before and after.

It's not the 'it'll be shit'

It's the 'what the fuck are you trying to prove'

I'm with you.

If folk don't want to go, fine makes it easier for those who do to get a ticket.

Whether folk agree with the set up is immaterial; that's the decision they've made. Additionally, with the massive surge testing set up going on down there, you can't blame them for not wanting tens of thousands of folk coming down for the day.

Discrimination against the young. Plus why give half the tickets to local residents and the NHS ffs
