FA Cup Final

[Liverpool]

how come?

[Craig_H]

Members with all 5 FA Cup credits arent guaranteed a ticket.

Why not?

[Liverpool]

ah ill imagine most will get sorted, although it will probably be in the expensive seats

[Craig_H]

Why not?

Because apparently we dont have enough tickets.

In the semi finals, we had 31k. Now we have 25k.

The 31k in the semi finals was enough for all ST holders and members with full loyalty to get a ticket, as well as ST holders with all but one AND 80% of members with all but one.

Yet somehow, 25k isnt enough for all ST holders and all members with 100% FA Cup loyalty.

Smells rather fishy to me.

Still, as long as the players enjoy their 24 tickets each and companies like Honda enjoy their 500 odd tickets, that's fine.

At least you are in with a chance and deservedly so I on the otherhand will have to see what is floating around (if anything) at a reasonable price

Will the club organize a big screen at Anfield to watch the game?

Surely that would be a good money spinner for them and a good option for fans that cannot get tickets to Wembley or cannot afford to go?

[Exiled_red]

That is shocking, but it's the FA who are ****ing things up - these railway works have been confirmed for the last 18 months, the FA could've had the final on a different date (why isnt it the last game of the season anyway?) but no. Plus the later kickoff time is done purely for money reasons too and doesnt help.

I did wonder whether the difficulties in getting there and getting home again, might put a few northern based Reds who qualify for a ticket, off from going.

But i think there are proper train services running from Manchester and Crewe anyway, so it isnt that far that people would have to travel.

Don't the FA move the Cup finals in World Cup/European Championships to give the England team extra time to prepare?

Also the FA don't give a **** about the real fans, all they care about is the money.

Trains running from Chester too so I guess it must be the line between Liverpool and Crewe - so likely the Runcorn area where all the engineering is

Chester is only 45 minutes from Central so should be fairly straightforward.

The irony being that they don't even have a manager at the moment.

Shambles.

Outward train is OK from Chester but not possible to return on the 5th and I can only find 1 train on the 6th taking 5 hours with 4 changes.

National Express are the official of sponsor of Wembley, no?

They should be providing shed loads of buses as a result then.

Shambles.

It is unbelievable that a country that believes itself to be credible potential 'winners' of the competition finds itself less than 50 days to go to the tournament without a coach or manager.
