Rather play Chelsea now at home than in a two legged semi or at Wembley Totally agree. Great draw, great timing. And revenge for last season. Anyone at home really. Anyone that isn't City, Arsenal, or Liverpool even better. Edited September 25 by timeEd32 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Any home draw feels like a win at this point but hardly like our luck has changed with that tie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Here's a fun quirk -- we're at Stamford Bridge the weekend before the R4 ties. We play Arsenal at home the following weekend, so a tough week. But here's what Chelsea's fixture list will looks like if we beat Wimbledon... Over a 13 day span: Liverpool (a), Panathinaikos (a), Newcastle (h), Newcastle (a) and Man United (a).

OCOCOL Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 (edited) 22 hours ago, McDog said: In the USA they are called "Personal Seat Licenses" which, if you can actually believe it, is a very large fee you pay once to have the right to pay a very large fee every year for a season ticket. The PSL's can cost anywhere from 8k to 50k. How can they even explain this with a straight face? there are people in the platinum club who have debentures where they have the right to their seat for 99 years I think . this was preceded by the bond scheme where for £500 you had the right to a seat (people bought thinking this meant “their” seat although that was challenged and overused in court).

The Butcher Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 A 25 man squad + bairns is more than enough. It's the managers job to use that squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have played a shit team personally. I'm not confident of winning it either, they are one of the cartel clubs who could put out two teams worth more than ours.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Yeah, couldn't find many pairs of seats even yesterday at 3pm. Not sure how many were kept for general sale but seems very similar to a league game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
