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.
Tweeting It Large, about how they won the FA Cup in May 2014 :lol: :lol: :lol:Will they never learn… :S
Let’s get practicing those arms gestures we do at Wenger…he’ll be doing plenty of them on 12/13 April….
Bearing in mind we have dropped a division since last year and this City side this season are one of the best teams in the world.
With this rotation malarkey thing too, on paper it wasn’t our strongest side.
Hands up to Uwe and a big thank you too for putting some huge smiles on our faces this season.
Wembley again is just unbelievable against a fantastic team like Arsenal. We are the history makers.
I feel this was our biggest ever cup upset. Just a shame more of us were denied the opportunity to have seen the game live.
Thanks Uwe for everything you have done so far Sir.According to the bookies yes…just looked at Oddschecker they had us 22/1 today (not 18/1). Odds like that in football are overturned once in 30 years…I remember Israel winning in France in 1994 WC qualifiers at 20/1!
We look more like a Premier League team every time we play at the moment. It’s not sour grapes, but barring a couple of defensive cock ups…we would still be a PL team!
I was going to get my ticket tomorrow for Horwich….
But other commitments in April now take precedence.
Bloody rubbish Wigan :lol:
What happened the last time we played arsenal in a major cup semi final…..
mmmmm! Let me think.The floodlights failed!
Wigan – the only team to win the FA cup & get relegated in the same season into:
Wigan – the only team to win the FA cup & get promoted in the same season.
How about four trips to Wembley in the same year, making seven in two years ![/quote]
Wigan did make 4 trips to Wembley in 2013 ;)
For much of the game, if you didn’t know which team was which, you could have easily mistaken who was the Premier League team…that’s how good we were today.
Awesome.
18/1 for the win….eighteen to one.
Don’t think I’ll ever see a bigger upset than Mike Tyson loosing to Buster Douglas…but this is very, very close :woohoo:
