I think the Rangers/Celtic same city is probably overridden by rampant religious bigotry, which nowadays people feel like they can’t express unless they happen to be surrounded by like-minded folk in a tribal football setting.

The seating/standing disbursement/distribution at Wembley was clearly an issue that affected the atmosphere. Thats something that’s been echoed by other teams that get to finals. Not sure how you fix that, other than perhaps allowing clubs to allocate certain sections of Wembley to reflect certain areas of their home stadiums. That would obviously cause holy hell in terms of us distributing tickets, but as we haven’t really got a ‘singing’ section sorted anyway (other than kinda the Strawberry Corner) it’s probably not practical anyway.

No, but do you not think the atmosphere would have been vastly different if we were? Whatever you think about derbies, both sets of fans do bounce off each other. It’s why the Old Firm has become utter shite with no / very few away fans.

That’s the current ‘concept’ for stadiums that’s in vogue now. 20 years or so ago it was your ‘soulless bowls’, the likes of your Stoke, Swansea, Leicester etc.

Not really comparable given we weren’t playing Sunderland in the final.

Chelsea game will almost certainly be Wednesday 30th with us playing each other the Sunday before, then us having Arsenal 12:30 ko the Saturday after.

Lot of faith in Everton not getting relegated…

If you’re wanting to neck cocktails at a rate of <15 mins per go for two hours, you may as well sit at home with a bottle of your chosen spirit, as it’ll end up having the same net effect.

Reminder for those who’ve entered the ballot - you get notified of success or not by 1pm and seat selection window opens at 2pm.

‘Scar’ and Burn is Bailey trying to send a subliminal message?

If it’s still not letting you tomorrow morning I’d call the Box Office.

Thought he looked better than Odobert from the limited amount I saw them last season.

It isn’t really a queue for a specific match though (yeah, I know that’s what they tell you when they send the link), it’s just one general queue to gain access to the ticket site.

They’d be better off staggering the emails by an hour or two so everyone didn’t pile in at 10am. But no doubt they’d get complaints about some getting the email ahead of others.

This season you are a member if you’re a ST holder.

Obviously they had to get the Wimbledon stuff going asap, so I guess it might have made sense to delay the Brighton ballot, but I suppose all the comms around it had already gone out, so might have been as big of a hassle to change it.

I wouldn’t bother at the minute. Just go back on this afternoon.

I think it’s yet to be proven they actually do that for away games tbh. I know they’ve said they do, but….

Surely it sells out? Take the point about midweek and short notice, but given the apparent demand for every other home game, I’d expect a full house, even if that involves sales on the day.
