“The Barry Frynal” If he don’t lead both the teams out in a blue and white scarf it’d be a travesty!!!
It was 4.30 k.o. ( I think ) last year as to accommodate the London Premier League teams who were also playing that Sunday & also live on Sky . Not much interest in folks on back shift at work who went last year about going again this year , finals are usually crap spectacles in all sports probably 7 or 8 out of 10 with the odd ' classic ' thrown in , but those who do go , enjoy your day .
Confirmed as 3pm by the EFL, probably for the best for all concerned, from a purely selfish POV I’d have loved an evening kick off.
Anyone know if they're opening up the top tier all around the ground or are some areas going to be closed? Not sure if they'll keep bits closed to save on staffing levels (Police, stewards, catering , all that crap)..
Word from last night is that the way the blocks work it will _likely_ increase again to 48,000 once Peterborough have finished taking their allocation. That would be nice, most people who should get a ticket would get one if that were true.
Going along to this again with the Posh fans, £28 in the same area, won't be drinking round Wembley with the choice of pubs though...
We normally go to Harrow On The Hill, six or so stops from Wembley and there's no problem getting in the pubs.
Allocation capped at 43.5k, confirmed today, reason cited as supporter segregation and safety. Bit of a shame there could be circa 10k empty seats, never going to be any issues between the two sets of fans, hey ho, most people who want to go should get in.
Only 6,000 left for the general public apparently, there’s going to be some stressed out people come Monday morning.
I’m not a pretend person you know.. We’re playing in our third strip, the dark one, which means we must have been given the away dressing room…….(looks up to see if that’s unlucky or not)….
Posh have sold around 10k but are on a points based system . Lots of people over paid last year with Wembley opening up the £60 + £3 admin seats 1st last year whereas the £20 + £3 admin seats were the last to go on sale , not sure if it's any different this year .
6,000 tickets go on sale this morning for the casual supporter, the glory hunters, those that live near London and think "ah, it's just round the corner I'll pop and have a look at what the fuss is all about" and people like me who live overseas. You need a membership number to reference when buying online and although the tickets won't be available until 10am, there's a virtual waiting room that opens an hour before. Let the bun fight begin... EDIT: Just got a message from my sister, people camped outside the ground last night. I think we're gonna need a bigger ground..
I got a ticket!! My nephew, who I didn't even know was trying to get one for me, got confirmation just as the website said all tickets had gone. Over 6,000 gone in half an hour and not one of them a real fan, allegedly..
Wicked Panj Somehow all our family have managed to get a ticket, albeit a bit spread around the ground, but beggars can’t be choosers. Sold out in twenty minutes this morning!!
