I think that is referring to ‘if you get a ticket transferred to you for every round,  that won’t make you eligible for the final’.

 

Appreciate how a ST holder who was doing the transfer could see it differently like.

That was part of the details for season ticket holders when signing up though. So could only read to me like you’re not losing anything by transferring the ticket. I’d be throwing everything at them.

No way will the polis want our fans sat in pubs all day long waiting for an 8pm kick off.

Surely both major cup finals would (should) be cast in stone before a balls been kicked.

Just got an email from the club advertising being able to watch the game in Shearers, £5 a ticket.

 

What's interesting though is they say open from 11am, were the game to be kicking off at 8pm, and I'm sure the club would be aware of this by now, I very much doubt they'd be advertising this being open at 11am...might be nothing in it but does suggest to me it'll be the usual 3pm or 4.30pm kick off.

Shearers bar opens at 11am each day, like a lot of pubs.  Is it not just that?

I imagine so. Wouldn’t relate to KO time. Which I’m expecting to be between 3-4:30pm.

It's not as simple as that, actually. The tickets have been dished out on a "per contract" basis. Some local companies/families have multiple boxes / hospitality tickets... I can think of one off the top of my head who has a 22 seater box + 16 seater + 8 other seats in hospitality elsewhere, and they've been given an allocation of 4 tickets in total for Wembley as it's under one contract. Which is fucking stupid to be honest. There's a lot of genuine, long term, loyal fans in amongst that who will miss out.

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again, as many of you know I work for a company and manage one of the boxes at St James, and the company I manage it for are just a family for the most part... a family who had season tickets for the best part of 30 years before their company became successful enough to move over to a box. A 12 seater box, 8 seats of which are filled every week by previous long term season ticket holders who gave up their seats to move into a box after becoming more successful... why wouldn't they deserve tickets to Wembley?

 

I would hazard a guess that the comfortable majority of boxes are taken up by people in similar situations.

 

The real crime amongst all of that is that the allocation that hospitality clients should have isn't going back to the general fanbase... but is instead going to sponsors... Adidas, SportsBet, Sela etc... as if they need them.

Add into that the fact that you have to buy the box (that you already have the yearly contract for) for every cup game separately (minimum of £3500 per game depending on box size), under the proviso that buying the box for cup games will secure you tickets to the final / semi finals at Wembley should we get there... then yeah... I can absolutely see why they'd be pissed off.

Seems like a reasonable complaint to be fair, if I was paying what it costs for a box at St James' for 10 people I'd expect all 10 to be going to the final.

You're doing nowt for my anxiety here

They've committed to saying those in pots 1-3 Will get a ticket and I'm guessing they're able to say this based on them knowing how many are eligible in each pot. When you think of it, we have just short of 32K tickets and have a similar number of ST holders I believe. IF so, very few ST holders should miss out...he said desperately  trying to reassure himself as much as you Jack ☺

What a fucking chew on. Got my dad to sort it as I was working. He has 3 together checkout and only bought one. Found two more in same block and couldn't buy. So now my dad is in a different block, me and my mate somewhere else. Website is a pile of shit. 

 

Now 1630 KO, total joke going to be pushed to make my 2000 train based on the chew on getting out last time.
