When the majority don't want to. I'm in block 16, everyone is happy to stand and understands that. Away games everyone seems happy to, don't hear complaints. At Wembley last season I messed up and ended up in upper tier. I sat because everyone did and nobody wants to be that arse that tries to...

Sense of entitlement of those who have 24,000 seats to choose from, some at the cheapest available price, where they can sit and yet feel they should be able to buy in the one area where most of the atmosphere will be generated and spoil it for others, despite knowing that people will stand in...

Again, I refer back to the point that 65% of the city end will be sat down, and that includes some of the cheapest seats. I'm just being realistic about what will happen on the day. It's not as though we don't have 3 recent wembley trips to refer to that tell us how it will go. In fact, the...

There are over 150,000 unique accounts on the ticketing system I was told. Many won't have 50 points of course.

Really? Not heard anyone complain about that since about 2009. Did hear someone moaning in block 16 last season, in a ground 2/3 full. Of all the places to buy a ticket!

You can tell it's a Wembley trip when this stuff comes out. There will be plenty of kids at Huddersfield tomorrow, stood up and able to see fine. I took my lad to Oxford game when he was a dot in block 135 and he had no issues. Besides, there are loads of seats, entire upper tier, where you can...

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.
