We haven't sat at an away game as a fanbase for 10-15 years, it's not an issue that is ever raised. We've been to Wembley 3 times in recent years and everyone behind the goal has stood. If you want to sit down there are plenty of options in other areas. If you buy lower tier behind the goal and...

The most depressing thing I've read on here for a while.

The whole bottom tier will be filled entirely with season ticket holders. The upper tier by st holders and lots who go semi regularly. It's a far cry that Oxford game when the there were 6K ST holders all buying 6 each.

There won't be any in our end aside from a handful who have a mate stupid enough to get them a ticket and deprive another city supporter. Handful at most. All our tickets will go to ST holders and people with points and buying history. They'll be a few in the club Wembley in the middle tier, but...

I was more talking about the comparisons you made tbh but I veered off in a different direction. Norwich for example, that very much reflects the community it represents. Relatively affluent, a lot of it rural. They're pretty loyal though and atmosphere decent enough, but there is a family feel...

Yeah, weird how some people are triggered by it. Just ignore it. They may batter us, in which case just ignore them even more. We pull off an upset, fill yours boots and go back all guns blazing. So what if they are being disrespectful. Good, the more of that the better.

I think expectancy yes, and also novelty has gone a bit. I remember that Peterborough night game and QPR last season, insane atmospheres given the games weren't particularly high profile.

We're not Millwall but we're no way a happy clappy club like Watford, nowhere near. Lost count of times away fans have commented on our home support and not because it's a ra ra ra type atmosphere. Many times in recent years we've created a genuinely intimidating atmosphere. It's not been the...

Ah ok, I didn't think it was done that way, but seems like it is

That's not how it works I don't think. You don't earn prize money for winning each round, you earn the money based on your exit round. If you exit at the 5th round, the prize money you earn is based on the 4th winners amount, and that is the total you get. It changes at this stage where you earn...

Think it's guaranteed 950K in prize money in total if we lose semi. Plus share of gate receipts from 5 games so far (45%) which won't be huge for some of the early games but should be decent for yesterday. For the semis it is different, we get a 1/4 share of 58.5% total gate receipts for the 2...

Why is it a recipe for chaos? Worked in the 80s when it was a lot more volatile. Grounds that are big enough and it would be much more of an occasion. A number of semi finals at wembley recently haven't sold out. Only 69K last season for Sheff Utd and City. Would much rather have a rocking...

Baffled how many people I am seeing say they'd rather play man city or Liverpool over Leicester. Personally I'd rather get to the final. This clamour for us to play 'big' side is weird.

Love this:

Take the toll road. It's why we headed over at 8am, can't be doing with those M6 shenanigans.

Really? Always a big majority not wearing colours at away games.

Got a spare adult ticket as mate cannot go. Face value. Will need to collect from Ash Green Friday (can't before then as away with work), or I can meet at Watford at a push. EDIT: ticket now gone

I'd forgotten about the international break until earlier today. Weird after all the recent congestion that we don't play our next home game until April.

This. People trying to over analyse a game like that is weird. We were under no pressure to force anything. Lots of players were taking the easy option because there was no pressure not to.

It's all about momentum at this stage of the season. You have to hope we'll now emerge from our dip and kick on a bit. Ben Sheaf returns and stays fit and we don't lose any other keys players, then we'll definitely be in the mix That said, a bad result and it can derail everything. Saturday...
