Gemmill 47361 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Fucking disgrace! Listening to the radio last night, and the Blackburn fans were claiming it's because their allocation was too large and they've got high unemployment, whilst the Chelsea fans were just saying it was too far to expect them to travel to Manchester. Baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31641 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Everyone knows that Blackburn and Watford don't have the largest following but that's fucking disgraceful that Chelsea can't even sell out an FA Cup semi-final, glory hunters aren't as dedicated as they used to be.

Gemmill 47361 Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Someone was making excuses for them on the radio this morning but one of the presenters shot them down with "I can think of a number of teams from the north who, if the semi was at Wembley, would be able to fill their allocation and then some." How long does it take to get from London to Manchester anyway ffs? Not that bad is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 47361 Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 I didn't realise Man United had been given a reduced allocation for persistent standing at away matches either. Brilliant stuff from the FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themags 0 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 i remember when we played a man utd and it was that bad that season ticket holders were worried about getting tickets and it was in Cardiff and we all knew we'd get tonked anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill 0 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Urgh that trip back from Cardiff was the worst trip of my life. Totally depressed and trying my best to sleep as we crawled along but having absolutely no luck.. Still I dare say I'd do it all again if given the chance.

Guest alex Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 You can understand the fans though. Chelsea know they'll probably lose and the Blackburn fans have to get all the way back from Manchester. FFS! I'm not one of these Geordie-nation, greatest fans in the world, etc. but I think our fans deserve more when you look at the apathy shown by these lot.

Back on topic, though, this is a fuckin' disgrace. However many Chewsee and Blackbum sell respectively should be recorded and the same number should be allocated the next time they get this far in the competition. So if the mighty 'blues' come up against a big team, or Blackbum get a team they think they will beat they only get the same number of tickets the tossers sell this time. Arseholes. Will be funny to see Wembley half-full in future semi finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
