Yeah, I read that Chelsea aint going to have a parade if they win the cup due to the "economic climate".

I'm pretty sure if we win it, Kenwrights gonna paint the town blue and they'd be parties in the street for 3 days. Economic climate my arse. That bus will do 5 tours around the city no probs.

Quite simply, Chelsea dont give a stuff about the FA Cup. They have been spoilt over the last few years and can only see has far as the PL and CL. The FA Cup is still the bigest domestic Cup Competition in the world but the reason why it has began to lose a little of it's magic is down to so-called big clubs ie Man United, Liverpool and Chelsea direspecting the competition. In my opinion, Manchester United should never have been allowed to ever enter the FA Cup the year they chose to play in the World Club Cup again. It was satisfying when they returned from that tournament with their legs firmly between the legs.
 
After reading about your Cheif Executive making a formal complaint about ticket allocations for the FA cup (which i totally agree with).....

Everton chief executive Robert Elstone will table a motion on the allocation of FA Cup final tickets at the Premier League's next meeting.

The Blues are upset they have just over 25,000 tickets for the Wembley showpiece against Chelsea on 30 May.

Elstone told BBC Radio Merseyside: "The fact that 40,000 people out of 90,000 don't care who wins or loses the final is disgraceful.

"I'm going to table a motion that looks to review and revise the allocation."

......i started to think about the League playoffs & how the clubs get a huge allocation as the prawn vol au vent brigade aren't interested.

Millwall & Gillingham have both sold in excess of 40k ticks for their respective matches (proably approaching 45k). Millwalls average home attendance is 8900 & for Gillingham it is 5300.

The CC final allocation for Spurs & Man U was around 32k each. I think Spurs received some ridiculous amount of applications (i cant recall the number off hand - i will look it up later) although admittedly the Chelsea ones the previous season went on general sale (plastics.....).

Something needs to be done! [Poor language removed] the corporates! I realise they are a cash cow but for fans of clubs like Spurs & Everton these occasions are rare enough without the real fans having to miss out on a ticket.
 
A couple of major Chelsea players will trip over their suitcases full of money prior to the match be out for the final. We'll breeze past them at that point!
 
Hastings Blues

Any Blues meeting up in a Hastings pub to watch the final?
 
That's the way it goes over here in the States also. Most of the people in the boxes at the the majority of the sporting events don't care at all about seeing the event, just being seen there.

Mate it's so irritating.

If the club had a larger allocation less of it would happen too, the fans who've made a financial commitment over the season would have the chance to go instead.

Never mind, as long as we win. :D
