First ever FA Cup not to sell out ?

[Boss Lid]

Wigan won't take 25,000 and Chelsea haven't got the biggest fan base, talking to a Chelsea fan a couple of weeks ago and he said tomorrow's semi against City went to general sale !

The FA Cup final WILL sell out IMO, less tickets and daytrippers filling the empty seats.

well if it's not selling out good job we missed that one, Dave knew all along it wouldn't sell out so he threw it.

They will just give more to the prawn sandwich brigrade

it will be the same as always, the attendance will read 90,000 but there will be about 15-20k empty seats. Not sure it technically counts as a sell-out when a quarter of the stadium is already sold to people who never turn up, but it will read as that.

Another thing to consider is the amount of FA Cups chelsea have won recently, if they get through, some might not be arsed to go if wigan are the opponents. I know that wouldn't be our mentality, but lets face it, a lot of their fanbase of jumped on the bandwagon, they probably don't view the FA Cup as all that.

Surely this is a message to the FA to get it back to originality.

Wigan will sell them all no problem this time. They'll (as we did) get a smaller allocation for the final, and glory hunters will turn out.
