FA Cup Semi Final - who do you fancy?

[joey_macmo]

31,977 to be precise - anyone know if this means anything in relation to which end?

Seems low to me!

It's the higher amount out of the two, I actually think it means we have the west end (green man) judging by last years semis

 

[joey_macmo]

I think the west end of the stadium caters for the lower allocation.

It's the higher allocation, the others get 31500

Villa had the higher last year and were in the west end

So corps effectively get the same allocation as the clubs? What an absolute disgrace the FA is.

So does the other team get 33,023 regardless of whether it is Man Utd or West Ham? I'd be pretty miffed to think West Ham got given more than us! If West Ham made the final, would a few hundred more tickets be allocated to Everton to even it up at 32,500 or are we now fixed at 31,977 no matter what?

East end I believe.

Just seen the RS got exact same allocation for their semi v Villa last season and they were in the East End...

The other allocation is smaller, an echo article from last year contradicts the Birmingham paper I put up before and if the echo is right we've got the east side

Yes just seen that and it's strange because if the echo is correct then Liverpool got more than all the other semi finalists last season.

Watford sites saying they've got 31500 tickets in the west side does that mean we're in the east then if that's the lower allocation!

Yes mate, I got confused because Villa and Arsenal had 31799 yet had the west side and Reading had 31500 in the east side.

This 31977 figure seems to have come from nowhere apart from us and liverpool

Which pub will it be then?

 

[joey_macmo]

The torch is probably the best pub to gather in on the east side. Most of the others are really small iirc
