EFL and Boro idiots, they already have decided then so just announce the verdict. How can you say to a club start selling tickets, travel accommodation then say but we may change our mind and your not in final.

Oh, I thought that was a suggestion rather than a done deal. I would accept this.🙂

Are we expecting this to sell out before Tuesday? Did the fa cup semi final sell out to members I can’t remember now? 
 

I can buy Monday but nipper can’t buy until Tuesday because I stupidly bought all of his tickets under my name as print outs so there’s nothing under his name. 
 

I did ask the ticket office today if they could help but they were adamant once the game has been played there’s nothing they can do (not sure I believe that but it is what it is) 
 

Stuck between a bit of a rock and a hard place. If I wait until Tuesday and they sell out, I miss out too. But it’ll also break his little heart if I go without him 🤔 

Think you'll be fine mate, might limit where you can sit but semi final made it to purchase history once we had extra allocation

Hull's ticket info online now. 

Straight on sale to members who can buy two each? Much quicker selling windows than us over the weekend as well 

[suewhistle]

Allocation of 35,984 seems reasonable, and no doubt we'll have a few in the Club Wembley and posh seats. Even better is the concession for us old farts: where I sat for the FA cup game is £67 down to £33.50. [I appreciate 67 is expensive..].

I agree , annoying Hull can crack on sell all their tickets by end of weekend whilst our sales windows drag on longer

Our concessions will surely all be buying up Cat 1 premium seats at the discount (most of Itchen and Kingsland Centre look over 65 , although that might be from the stress of following Saints)

Yes but if they can buy 2 each from the start seems unusual , will be good if its a full house though

I feel dirty for saying this because Ayling should've been off on Tuesday. The fact he and THB made up mid game instead of getting added to the post match shit storm speaks well of him.

He's one of those players opposition is going to hate whomever he's playing for.

Yeah agree.. ayling has been a decent pro pro and fair play to him. Sort of player we’d have appreciated in the past.

What is Hull's usual attendance? Long way to come too.

Anyway, let's hope Saints get away with a fine and a voluntary donation to Middlesborough Samaritans and CAMHS.

Average home crowd 21,400 (about 19,000 home fans) so its a lot extra fans to find and long journey

Their play off semi final you could buy 4 tickets per membership if you had been to just one game this season. I know this because I sat in the hull end when they played us at their place, and they emailed me encouraging me to buy up to 4 tickets for the millwall game 🤣🤣

I think their stadium holds 24k and they don’t sell out regularly so under 20k

I was taking out away fans - assuming  as many as 500 brave a trip to Hull every fortnight.

Guessing double that number wouldn't fill the allocation still so no risk in doing it that way.

Ruislip worked well for me for the semi final but might not be as good if heading north afterwards.

Watford might be a decent shout for quick access to M1.

Possibly in part cause he looks like Robbie Savage and partly cause he's a bit of a dirty bastard (ask Leo when he didn't 'assist the referee').

We always park in Ickenham and go in that way. That said, you’re coming from the Norf, I would assume?

For the FA cup semi recently I used Justpark and found someone's driveway near to Stanmore tube station. It's at the northern end of the Jubilee line, 5 stops from Wembley Park, and it's quick and easy access off the M1 via Edgware Way (Junction 4).

Anything in middle tier (blocks beginning with a 2) is club Wembley level , if i was a 65 or over concession id definitely go top cat at that price , good seats

Where are people planning to drink? We did the Green Man for City but would like to try somewhere else that still has a bit of atomsphere but isn't a crowd crush. Is Wealdstone FC the next best option?

Don't really understand them selling concessions for the standing areas.

Got my 2 tickets, quick and easy block 134. Lets hope Boro aren't running the sanctions meeting.

Concessions is anyone 65 or over or 16 or younger, will be plenty of those who fancy a bit of standing, I know I would have at 16 and my Dad would have at 65

I went in that Crystal Club briefly for Man City - was okay. Cheap. But there was an atmosphere, indoors and outdoors areas, just a bit, well, run down. But next to Wembley so it was easy.

Personally thought the BoxPark was good, although probably not what you're looking for. Busy, sure, but plenty of food and drinks outlets so I was never queuing for anything and it never felt overcrowded - I spent a lot of time in the cricket bar place. Would have been nice to have gone somewhere with a garden instead of a balcony on what was such a hot day for the Semi against City but I wanted the atmosphere and it had that by the shedload. 

[Football Special]

Very different to the semi final, no queue to get in for tickets, guess having it on to 10 aways will really slow sales down, many in that category will wait to buy with others anyway

I got in early to get mine in the handful of cheap seats behind the goal as there's only a block or two of them. Means my profit will be higher when i re-sell them to Boro fans who are obviously going to go instead of us...

😂 Yeah morning brain fart on my part, I was thinking concessions were just disabled fans not age related.

Or, tinfoil hat on, there's no queue because people are worried about the result of the hearing and are holding back for now. 🤓

You're doing well. I'm crumbling at 45.

[LiberalCommunist]

With all the turmoil surrounding us at the minute, its been hard to focus on much else. So much so, that a sufficient punishment they could hand out is the past week, and the carnage it has embroiled us in. Only 2009 administration comes close to this episode for me. 

But spare a thought for Hull. They did incredibly well to creep back into the play offs on the last day of the season. And then to go to the Den and knock out Millwall. Very impressive. All this while under a season long transfer embargo.

As they approach their biggest game in ten years, there's still no certainty that it will go ahead. Not just the date, but the venue. Surely the EFL should have safeguards in place to protect them, and to make sure they do not suffer any uncertainty with the build up to this game. Just adding another scenario to this mess, just imagine if it is moved, and they lose the final. Do they then have a case for compensation due to disruption? 

This time line is so agonizing. I can't believe they didn't take immediate action, and stop Steve Gibson controlling the narrative. What a mess.

Yes I suppose not knowing if it goes ahead,not knowing where it might be played,not knowing when it might be played and at what time.still football fans have got used to this after many years of sky

The most exercise I've done lately was walking around Southampton Town Centre on Tuesday looking for a clean bog to poop in. 

I did play snooker recently that required me to get my leg up on the table a couple of times, so I can still do that.

I'm not old enough to play golf. But I did read somewhere that it does your knees in.

Totally agree with you about Hull, I have been thinking the same. Massive game for them and a great achievement for them. They are completely innocent bystanders in all this and now their fans, team and club have to live with all this uncertainty, hassle in making their travel plans etc. What an utter mess and shambles.

Because they get a bar to lean on, given everyone will be standing anyway, its probably actually better for them to have that than nothing.
