[Albion] So we are going to play City at Wembley

[Hugo Rune]

No one ever said it would be easy , but if your name is on it then how you do it does not matter

I thought that about Man City yesterday with the luck they got!!!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

If they drew someone decent in the CL they may have rested players for this.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Anyone can beat anyone over 90 minutes.

It's very unlikely - but this is the FA Cup. Anything can happen.

Bring it on!

There is a certain comfort in being the underdog, one we are used to.

Imagine we were playing Wolves - only to lose and see them play Watford in the final - that would have been the worst case scenario.

 

[dangull]

We would have had to beat them in the final anyway, so might as well do it in the semi final.

What's the financial reward for reaching the semis?

Agree - imagine say Watford in the semis and losing to 'soft' opposition. It would mentally be with us for years and one below but akin to 'And Smith must score'

50% gate sales and tv money I assume.

Wigan beat City at Wembley and we can too. I like our underdog status.

Swansea beat City yesterday but had it taken away from them too.

The Saturday semi final last year was a 5-15 kick off.

 

[Mr Bridger]

 

[SpongebobSquarepants]

Definitely the Saturday. And Spurs match moves to a midweek at end of April

 

[Ding Dong !]

Need to pack our team with pace

Totally this.........Andone & Izqueredo to start....too pedestrian otherwise.

No point sitting back lets go for it

Less probably 50% that the FA will take. Must be the only reason semis are played at Wembley.

They will take around 45% in the final, not the semi's. Will be more around 15%, as it is the middle tier is season ticket holders anyway (although I don't think that counts for Spurs games).

 

[Thunder Bolt]

A friend of mine, (a Leeds fan, but bear with me) has called every round of ours correctly, says it will be a Brighton v Wolves final.

 

[Algernon]

I bet every City player and supporter are absolutely bricking it now they realise they've got to face the Mighty BHA in a Wembley semi.

 

[sams dad]

We’re the famous Brighton and Hove Albion and we’re going to Wembley, Wembley, Wembleeee

I thought those ticket holders had their seats regardless. Are you saying they only have them for the semis?

Probably asked scores of times already but what will be the likeley allocation ... 30,000?

And if it goes to penalties...
