If Azaz could have waited just another 4 minutes before sticking that one away...Stokesy scored on 83 mins and we held out that day! Cracking day, how fookin' nuts did everyone go when Azaz hit that?

Been in the loft and thought I'd just leave this here before setting off...

Hopefully this weekend might just make the FA have a rethink on staging semi-finals at Wembley. It's paid for now and there's enough big new stadiums to host these games, even if does mean less tickets available. City sold around 24,000 (I read on their forum that they have given 1,000 away free to good causes), Chelsea were struggling to sell theirs with just us and Leeds selling the full 36,000. I don't know how many neutrals will be there but Wembley will likely be around 25,000 under capacity for our game.

We all loved Fernandes like we’re now loving Sienza, will we still be loving him if he’s poached in the summer? I’m still a bit of a Matty fan as I probably would be with Leo in similar circumstances.

City have sold around 24,000, we’ve got 80 x £90 tickets left l which will be gone soon once some say “fuck it” and just pay the extortionate prices, so 36,000 Saints fans

Reckon they were what the club had held back for sponsors, etc and later released, which probably make up most of the 200 tickets now left. All £90 tickets, 100 each on opposite sides of the stadium and 2 x £70 tickets up in the gods.

It's now a battle for 3rd/4th place which ensures a play-off second leg at home.

Just had a look, there seems to be blocks of newly available seats that looked like they should have been in our initial batch of tickets, wonder if that's seats the club had held back for their own purposes. And strangely, a number of available tickets behind the goal that I would have thought would have been in our previously 'sold out' allocation. We got tickets in the upper tier last week as nothing available lower tier when it got to members.

Yeah, how hard can it be? Clearly stated “initial allocation” so even if they couldn’t release more over the weekend the it had to be first thing this morning. Probably down to the FA and just further shows how little they regard the fans.

This is what we've done in the end as one of ours is not drinking anyway. Parking on someone's drive for a fiver next to the station. 20mins straight to Waterloo.

This is what was on that City forum which does suggest they've sold little more than 20k so far: L1: 3,573 L2: 486 L5: 2,139 Total Left: 6,198 (+ Approx 6,000 - 7,000) I'm not really knocking them when they've been there so many times and won just about everything thanks to their riches, but could mean we get some of their spares. Carlisle only sold about the same for the JPT final in 2010 which meant we could take around 50,000, if we get any extra it will be nothing like that. Anyone used the trainpal app to buy train tickets, decent prices on there, using a railcard (also £27 discounted railcards purchased through them)

Looked earlier, open return working out about £65 each, 2hr 20min, unless anyone seen cheaper Edit: that's not using Railcards, etc.

If anyone would like to get an idea of what view they're getting from their seat this is pretty handy https://www.wembleystadium.com/plan-your-visit/stadium-guide/view-from-your-seat

Joined 9:20, got in after around 15 mins and then logged in. Selected and put tickets in basket a few times only to say no longer available, eventually got some different ones Now to check the carnage on the trains.

Too late………
