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

[Rugrat]

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

It was the evening game that had the 84,000 (according to Wiki anyway)

I'll pay more attention this year

36 years of hurt ... never stopped me dreaming

 

[Knocky's Nose]

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.

No flasks, but they do allow BBQ's in.

Dan Burn will be casually mentioning - we beat City last year at my old club ...

Personally I don't think there's a lot of difference between Citeh with one eye of the CL game with Spurs on the Tuesday and a rabid Wolves fully focused on their first proper trophy for 39 years.

Swansea were a whisker away from knocking Citeh out yesterday, and if Liverpool beat Southampton in the PL the night before then there's a chance Citeh won't be focused. One thing's for sure and that is our fans need to believe AND make a noise.

This will be the biggest match of our player's careers, for Citeh it's just another big match. And we'll have most neutrals behind us.

Semi Final will be on Saturday at 515pm probably on BBC 1 due to City's CL commitments

 

[spence]

Plus TV money, whatever that might be...

About 250k tv money when you reach the later stages of the comp i remember reading once. Think it's the quarters and onwards. Otherwise around 100k

 

[Silverhatch]

We will play Wolves in the final... And beat them.

 

[Barham's tash]

The ONLY bad news is that we’ll be playing in the poxy yellow or green instead of the stripes.

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

This.

If we'd got Watford and beaten them it's just prolonging the inevitable. This way we can enjoy the day, it's the hope that kills you.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Maybe just maybe.....

 

[Mr deez]

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?

Sadly, I guess its 10k neutral tickets that they didn't let fans have..

 

[jakarta]

Er didn't a certain team from South Norwood beat them a while ago, the same team we did over twice?

Indeed for Citeh big matches these days come thick and fast. For us its our biggest cup game in 36 years, anything can happen....

Ticket binfest due in minutes, I expect!

Doubt it all ST holders should be guaranteed a ticket.

 

[Seagulltonian]

We could f**k City up on two of their four trophy-chasing fronts in the final weeks of the season!
Would't that be good that they'd only win the Carling/Carabo/League Cup (whatever it is called!), and the Champions League!

 

[Seagull]

No reason we can't beat City. It'll seem like a final for us, with not too much expectation, a great day out & if we do make it we'll fancy beating either of the other two.
