Im absolutely buzzing about this! Repeat of old trafford 11 thousand strong Sky Blue Army

11,000 'fans'. At least a couple of thousand who haven't been to a game in a long while (ironically probably since that Old Trafford game). Sorry to sound dispondant about 'support' but it is true we will have a lot of band wagon supporters!

Just a good job season ticket holders get priority I suppose.

I'll be going by coach I think. Had it been a weekend, train and tube would have been a must!

jabharty · Aug 30, 2012

Wish it was priority tickets for those who show their ticket stubs from one of the last 3 home games, then we have a dedicated support that fill out the away end xD
I hear that the away fans and the home fans are situated very close to each other. Could be interesting...

They're aren't many of us who travel away everywhere, most people pick and choose away games, but it just so happens that when an occasion like this comes along everyone chooses to go. Every club has band wagoners, lower league clubs with average gates of 6000 taking 30,000 to play off finals for example. It's the nature of the game and we're no different. This tie will be a fun distraction, nothing more, but I've no doubt they'll be those that moan like buggery in the lead up to the game about how many people are going. Don't get it.

As someone who only goes to a few games a season I'm looking forward to a good day out. I think I've served my appreniceship over the years and I won't feel too guilty about going even though I'm clearly not as good a fan as some of you!!!!!!!

I have a life outside CCFC, a family and a budget, nit to mention time. I'm fortunate that I get to go to home games so sorry if this disappoints some of you diehards who don't like being part of a well supported team because it makes you less exclusive.

Fans who went tuesday should be next in line after season ticket holders.

thechase · Aug 30, 2012

Assume its the 26th as they play on the sunday previously.

i always throw my stubs away ..but they record on computer every time you buy tickets..well they do with me anyway

lbskyblues · Aug 30, 2012

Sorry i mean this is what the club should do but i doubt it. arsenal play chelsea the following sat meaning kids against us i imagine as got alot of games. Arsenal got it down as on the wednesday.

SkyBluesAndy · Aug 30, 2012

How many tickets will they have to allocate? Isn't it 15% of the ground for cup games? If so the ground capacity is 60k and 15% is approx a 9k away allocation.

lbskyblues · Aug 30, 2012

Imagine 9000 initially with extra available if required as they have chelsea game after surely they wont sell home end out

chiefdave · Aug 30, 2012

Only thing I can see online is that they offered Leeds just under 9k for a FA Cup match. Imagine we will be offered the same as there won't be big demand from the home fans.

covross · Aug 30, 2012

Remember the 3-2 victory over the gunners on boxing day 99. cruising 2-0 up at half time. the best cov game ive ever seen (too young for 87) PUSB

Anyone who works normal hours would be hard pushed to get to north London by 7.45. Wouldn't even consider it myself. Part timers, students and the work shy only?

Well, if it's anything like our attendances over the last 18 months then I presume there won't be many there. :thinking about:

A well deserved draw for the regular away followers

If I get tickets I will be booking the day off!!

theprince · Aug 30, 2012

atleast 10000 will go. Will have a new manager in position by then and may well have a couple of wins under our belt. This is the type of fixture to winkle out the old fans and will be similar to Old Trafford 5 years ago, might even go myself. First went to Arsenal in 1972 when Tommy Hutchison dribbled round the whole Arsenal defence to score in a famous 2-0 victory. Witnessed a great punch up between Arsenal and Glasgow Rangers fans in the open end that day but thats a story for another day.

With some jobs it is impossible to choose days off ... So that leaves a hefty percentage of fans out.

It's an hour to Euston on the train and no more than 20 mins to Highbury & Islington tube. It would take longer to get to Leicester, Derby or Nottingham on the train.

Dan Griffin · Aug 30, 2012

never been to arsenal, never been to a premier league game! biggest team ive seen is west ham, saints, reading based on promotion!

SkyBluesAndy · Aug 30, 2012

Possible ticket prices maybe??

"The Club operate a category system for ticket prices (A + B), whereby the most popular games cost more to watch. Category A games are: Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur & Manchester City. Category B prices are shown below in brackets.

Away Fans:
Adults £51 (£35), Over 65's/Under 16's (£25.50) £17.50."

This info is for league games though, could be slightly different for a cup game but you'd think an adult wouldn't have to pay anymore than £35 judging by that.

Maybe from Coventry but not from Dudley where I live. Just checked, last train back leaves Euston at 5 past 9. So that's 2 season tickets that will not be going.
Don't understand what all the fuss is about.. Seen City play Arsenal many times. Hope you youngsters enjoy it.

mates an arsenal fan and he said that its about £10 for kids and no more than £20 for adults in cup no matter opposition, just a waiting game tbh

skyblue1523 · Aug 30, 2012

Sisu will be rubbing their hands with glee .good draw Thor

theprince · Aug 30, 2012

51 quid ??? Fuck that. £20 tops and thats stretching it. It will be Arsenal reserves and youth team

I doubt there will be anymore than 3,000 going. It'll take a lot more than a game at Arsenal to bring back the missing thousands.

Seriously? This won't even make general sale.

Dimi_Konstantflapalot · Aug 30, 2012

I went to Arsenal v Man City Carling Cup quarter final last season at the Emirates and it was £20 a ticket, so it won't be any more than that.

Exactly the same.

I've served my time and seen so much shite it's unreal...when an occasion comes like this, why shouldn't I go? We're all CCFC fans so there's little point bitching about who goes first.

Also to the poster who said "Stubs from the last three games should go after season tickets" No...the shouldn't. They should go to membership holders, membership holders who have paid £25 for that privilege. If you look at the membership page on CCFC's website it's aimed at people who have to pick and choose. Exiles and such.

But I guess because that puts you up shit creek it shouldn't be like that.

CCFC123 · Aug 30, 2012

i wont be going. done my stint over the last 35 years around every ground possible. Sorry if I sound a party pooper but I doubt this will attract more than 3,000 when the dust settles.

It'll be great for the kids who have never been to a premier club before but it dosen't excite me one bit.

well it certainly wont be like old trafford 5 years ago when we took a good number up there. as it say, i think it'll be 3k max but that's still a good turn out on a wednesday night in London.
