At least we dont have to worry about Man City fans buying in our end, it will be quite an unattractive trip for their fans who will be tempted to save their cash for the final. FA might have learnt a lesson and lower ticket prices? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c14xyegjzv3o

It was same last year, I saw some of it before heading to Wembley, didn't seem to make any difference to match day other than lots of people with medals congratulating each other on the tube

For me our game would be fine at Villa Park

That was so dodgy , 100% fix

Makes me laugh on the radio going on about what a semi final would mean to the fans, Leeds not been in a fa cup semi for 38 years, West Ham not for 20 years, we've had a few in that time!

Could be dark arts to try to sway refs to give them decisions, but also shows an insecure side where they have a victim mentality "it's not fair, it's someone else's fault"

Probably best if we avoid Leeds as well as remember they bought all our tickets for the play off final as well , dont want that happening again

I think they've already confirmed to club Wembley holders that Saturday is 5.30 (might have been 5.15pm can't remember) and Sunday is 4.30pm

That's our new club motto, has worked in every round so far YELLOWS

Going to be Tuesday 14th April. Feels like we'll be playing home midweek games every week in the run in

I doubt it as they wouldnt let Forest have more last year. I was at Man City v Forest semi final last season in corporate, a good 3 or 4000 empty seats in the City end upper tier and that was with any city fan with purchase history being able to buy up to 4 each. I think we'll only just sell our allocation anyway, times are hard and prices are ridiculous to be honest.

I believe Saints have it registered as our "FA Cup kit" so our first choice kit to wear, if drawn as home side we'd wear it as default, if drawn as away then just depends on opposition. No doubt another boom in sales for the Chinese retailers. Always seems to happen to Saints, 2017 wore a white shirt in final that was never on sale to fans, we rarely wear red and white stripes at Wembley

Draw this evening after West Ham vs Leeds Saints are ball number 1. As usual trains are a mess, looks like engineering works in Basingstoke- Woking area, diversion from Southampton via Havant, frustrating. Last season semi final allocations for each team were 36,230 , should be plenty to go around.

Thanks, very harsh on Manning

I agree, his finishing isn't great especially one on ones
