Probably not is the situation for me. Getting back to Dorset late on a weekend night more than likely means facing lots of road closures and diversions. I’ll check closer the time to see and then decide.

Putting aside this is an FA Cup match we're talking about, you're exaggerating with the bolded statement above. Here's the next Saturday's PL Saturday 3pm matches - half the league :

Or indeed the following weekend - half kickoff at 3pm or before. You defend this football model too much.

Falmer WSL, not a JCL

(STH) Going but…….. the Club do not make this any easier do they. Firstly I could only buy my own ticket and was unable to book my sons who is (a) a STH and (b) listed in my friends and family group and (c) working so was difficult for him to jump on the website and book his own ticket. Secondly being just over state pension age, and where we sit (WSL) has no concessions, the system would not let me book my ticket as it had allocated an ADULT ticket and yet, as I am over state pension age, the system appeared to assume I was entitled to a concession rate, and just said No! Now, I had had this issue previously and had reported it to the club you would have hoped they would have sorted their systems out between the previous incident and this one. With the issues of getting away from the ground due to the way the walkways are being blocked by the queues for Falmer station, which I can only see getting worse once the new ‘Fans Zone’ opens, it all seems such an obvious ‘pinch-point’ , It’s just becoming more and more of a ball ache getting away from the games and the booking experience for cup games (why could I only purchase my ticket?).

I'm STH/Not, primarily because of the kick-off time, particularly given the possibility of extra-time and penalties.

But some of the enthusiasm from those replying that they are going has already given me a bit of FOMO, so I've gone from 100% not going to 90/10.

Let's see how things go between now and then...
That's pretty much my position. I've put myself down as STH/Not going but I may relent. Saturday night we usually go out for a meal or to some event so I know my wife will be annoyed. OTOH, if I don't go I'll insist on watching on TV so perhaps I may as well just go to the game. Not sure. Need to decide v soon.

Maybe I should pay my £20 to at least ensure no Chelsea fan is sitting in my seat, should I not go.

I'd swerve the Amex on the Sunday as well.
Oops, yes, haha, why did I think it was on the Sunday? Brain fog. Still much the same though, terrible time for kick off, and for getting home, wrecks the whole day.

Season ticket holder and going (x4) but the fact I’ve had to make 4 separate transactions to purchase our seats (which meant logging into each ticketing account) and Apple Pay still isn’t working on the ticketing site means the process could have been a lot easier.

Once you log in to your account you’ll have a button to purchase your seat for the cup game.
