I walked past the ticket office about 6.15 earlier.
2 people with a tent and two chairs already int queue
Methinks there in for a long cold night
Don’t they realise we go to Wembley ever year :woohoo:
But as Sharpys closed in February have the club failed to honour this potential ‘perk’ for the rest of the season!A consequence of Holt leaving; the effect on the takings at Sharpy’s :ohmy:
Announced today…£40 for Leicester, Leeds and Millwall games.
Good move, £13.33 a game when they’re coming thick and fast, or should that be fast, slow and thick ;)
Good to see the club trying to get bums on seats at the business end of the season. So long as no individual ticket is sold for less than a ST holder has paid per game. I paid £315 for WS4 block 26 games…£12.12. What was the cheapest ST this season?
Why not? You bought a season ticket that gave you your guarenteed seat at a price that you were presumably happy with, along with preferential treatment when it comes to ticket sales for cup and away games, etc. It doesn’t give you the right to dictate how the club should sell tickets for other seats.[/quote]
Indeed, the decision to purchase a season ticket, on pricing grounds, is taken in comparison with individual ticket prices as announced at the time.
The problem comes if say 6 months down the line, the club sells individual tickets for less than ST holders paid. This offer has it spot on, a good deal for non ST’s but still a bit more expensive than ST’s paid. 3 home games in a week is a lot to pay out when the extras add up.
As you say, there are other advantages to season tickets to take into account. Not forgetting the 10% discount at Sharpys :lol:
I wouldn’t dream of dictating how the club sells tickets…but all ST holders have a choice to renew or not. I will be there next season of course, but ST renewals are likely to drop if we’re still in the Championship.
Tonight was disappointing and agree it’s 2 points dropped given the defensive errors and missing a penalty. Loosing Perch early didn’t help obviously.
That said, with so many games in such a short space of time, there was bound to be a poor result somewhere. Let’s hope tonight is the only one and move on for Saturday.
On the bright side, QPR lost and with the compacted fixture list we’ve got to pick ourselves up and get on with it. Dropping points to Yeovil, whilst it looks bad at first glance, isn’t ultimately going to cost us as much as dropping points to teams around us. Let’s win at QPR instead :)
Home game for the Gunners then, just how we like it,out numbered were at our best. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:Yes. When all 22807 of us are singing about being the FA Cup
ChampionsHoldersWinners….the Cockneys will be quaking in their boots…or more likely pissing themselves laughing :ohmy: The latter when we start the chant we learned from our Belgian friends.Arsenal used to play their Champions League games at Wembley a few years back, but Wenger would winge like hell about us having an unfair advantage if the game was at Old Trafford.
4 weeks to go…can’t wait B)
I think 22k for us is fine, we only took about 20k to last years semi.How many season ticket holders are there this season?
Between 9 & 10k at a guess. Hence the guarantee of 2 tickets per ST holder…still be 4-5k min left over for general sale.
I can’t go on Sunday next week anyway due to family commitments….so quite happy to log on Monday 9am B)
What’s the plans for where to sit for those who’ve been to all 3 visits? Do you stay in the same area or move around the ground? We’ve been in 105 (Semi), 503 (final), 103 (CS). 541 also on “another visit” last year… :blush:
Quite fancy the upper tier behind the goal this time…
Last year we sold about 20,000 of our 31,000 allocation. That’s not a bad turnout for the time and place.
Millwall sold all their tickets – their fans could get there by Tube and be home in time for tea.
The club & FA never revealed how many tickets they’d sold for the semi-final but if you think how full the same areas were for the final when Latics took an initial allocation of 21,000 (allegedly took some of the other 4,0000 they had an option on) as opposed to how empty they were for the semi-final, I don’t think that there was anywhere near 20k Latics fans there for the Millwall game.
Not that it matters coz I was there & no doubt virtually everyone on here was there but looking at last year’s semi-final & how many were shifted for the final I think we’ll take somewhere between 15k-20k to the Arsenal game[/quote]
Hopefully 20k minimum.
Last year quite a few people were put off going by it being Millwall and confidence that we would get to the final.
20k is pretty respectable though, given the KO time and travelling distance. How many will not travel because it’s on ITV this year :ohmy:
Quite a few Millwall fans last year admitted they wouldn’t have sold 31k had it been at Old Trafford…we might well have done!
”HE SCORES WHEN HE WANTS” :lol:A scruffy 1-0 but it’s another win and another 3 points.
We were fortunate though.
Onwards and upwards !!
Agreed. A case of winning ugly, but who cares… :cheer: That ref was watching a different game from us…
By next Tuesday we will have played 4 times in 9 days FFS. I’ll quite happily take 3 more ugly 1-0’s!
Win the games in hand we will be past Reading and Forest and will have QPR/Derby well in range. Burnley probably a step too far, but who knows given the number of games left, especially if we win there.
strange onePaddy Power have us at 8/1 to beat Arsenal
and 17/2 to win the cup
:oops: :oops: :oops:
8/1 is the 90 min price….penalties anyone :lol:
It’s not long since we were 100/1 for the cup :blink:
6 or half a dozen for me which day it was.
Sunday would have been quieter on the roads, but Saturday means not having to take Monday off work.
See we’ve got the same end of the ground again!
If the game was at Old Trafford, Wenger et al would have played hell about a 5pm KO. Whereas “Little” Wigan just have to get on with it :huh:
The winners of the FIFA World Cup this summer will be referred to as the “World Champions” more often than the “World Cup winners”
Who cares anyway. We won the cup and in our defence of said cup are making a mockery out of all those media people who called us fluke winners.
We have six home games before Wembley…so by then we will have cemented a play off place and may well be challenging for automatic promotion, especially if the Dingles slip up.
These are great times :cheer:
Just got back.
The 20.35 from Piccadilly.
Interesting journey back.Kirsty learned a whole new vocabulary.
Fantastic performance today.Much better than Wembley.
What a great battling 2nd half performance that was. :cheer: :cheer:
Good decision to delay your journey back. Piccadilly Station at 7 o’clock was like an evacuation zone.[/quote]
I thought we played City, not Utd
Seriously though, the railways cant cope with the number of people using them. eg What time is the last train back from Euston on 13th April?
Even if they’re 2-0 up with 11 min to go they can’t beat us :lol:

Charlie slept well after that goal.
