And if it goes to penalties...

Don’t let Glenn take one.

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?

It was c33k per team last year.

Gutted to get City.

Wolves and Watford would also have been tough but City.

FFS.

I’ve waited my entire life to see Brighton play at Wembley in an FA Cup semi or final. It’ll be a great day regardless.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Izquirerdo

Izquierdo is fast but needs to find some form.

I’d have Knocky, March, Ali J or Locadia ahead of him at present.

 

[hart's shirt]

He believes.

 

[Brownstuff]

Rather get done by them in semi than the final
Win or lose on the booze

 

[seagull_special]

March and Locadia all day long with Andone down the middle and Glenn on the bench .

 

[B52]

Team for Citeh:

Ryan
Montoya
Duffy
Dunk
Bernardo
Stephens
Gross / kayal
Izquirerdo
Knockaert
Andone
Murray

I would definitely have Bissuma in the side instead of Gross/ Kayal provided he isn't susspendid of course

What's the financial reward for reaching the semis?

Here's a nice little breakdown of the prize money!

By my calculations we've got 1.5 millionish so far! Not quite Premier League money, but not too shabby!

As a 14 year old living in Gloucestershire I missed the 83 game. Now I get to take the scarf my Nan knitted for me back then.

 

[Djmiles]

Love the confidence. Last time we got to the final, we beat City en route.

Do you think we will be relegated, or is that a silly question?

Ask me again in 8 weeks!!

Around 30k yes. What I meant by the middle tier/corporate, they are taken whatever, not necessarily by football supporters or fans of BHA or Man City. These are hired out per season generally for England games but they cover the whole year. So the two sets of fans get bottom and top tiers. The FA will take around 15k tickets for the semi.

 

[Sheebo]

I’m quite gutted about the draw but then thinking about it if and it’s a huge outside if we were to win it we’d prob have got them in the final anyway so doesn’t overly matter. Should be a good day out and a great few weeks for the Albion.

City play Spurs on Tuesday 9th April in the Champions League QF 1st leg.

If we play City on Saturday 6th April (3 days earlier), I wonder what sort of side they'd put out.

They might just have their minds on other matters.

 

[Stat Brother]

As the game wore on I had to use breaks in play etc to cook a quite spectacular roast pork for tea.


It'll be a tough new tradition to maintain at Wembley.

 

[Mr Banana]

We have naff all chance but it doesn't matter after today

Yes that's what I thought (top and bottom)

Interestingly, looking at last years semi's it says (on Wiki) attendance on Sat was 84,000 and Sunday 73,000 ... can't really get my head round that surely it would be sold out for both?

That, I can't answer. Evening KO's are generally reduced by around 10k at Wembley, but that's all I know.

Plus TV money, whatever that might be...
