Oh wow, we do proper digital tickets now?

I just got mine through, I have the standard printable version but with a QR code, not a barcode. I also was able to add them to my Google wallet! What a time to be alive...

Look forward to your post around 5:30pm tomorrow about it being absolute chaos and nobody being able to get in.

Wednesday only managed slightly more for their Friday night game in the cup against us, and it wasn't -5c.

Lucky I'm chronically early so have not experienced the chaos!

Is it going to be a case of new year, new scanners at the CBS?

How long has this been a thing?

If only Greggs was still here to advise!

Beware, for the friendly games lots of people were experiencing trouble scanning the digi tickets. The trick is to set your phone brightness on full and don't try and rescale the QR code. Then the scanners work. For the Everton game I printed my ticket and it was fine.

Mind you weren't they going to upgrade the scanners?

Nice, I've never really had an issue getting in (digital/paper tickets). The QR code and an actual ticket in my Google wallet was a curve ball.

It's good to know the scanners can actually deal with QR codes!

Just saw the Cardiff goal last night. Can’t think of any of our available players who’d finish that, which is a worry because it wasn’t the hardest.

It won’t be -5 will it?

I heard that loads of SW fans bought their tickets for the 30 points/ £13 trade-off.They will not bother to travel.

Its only been made third rate because of greed by the top clubs. It was once the greatest competition in the country until the greedy few started messing around with it.

Looking at the dots maybe approximate attendance of 16-18k tommorow unless a massive walk up with all DK's exciting transfers.

Would agree with that once the Champions League was expanded to 3/4 clubs per country in the main 5 leagues ,it diluted the importance of the FA cup. I used to like the European Cup Winners Cup ( went to see the final at Wembley once when Parma won it ).

Easy way to fix it (which will never happen) - give the winner the 4th Champions League place. And stop dicking around with Thursday/ Friday night games.

They've discussed it but going to happen ,argument is you qualify for the CL over 38 games not 6 cup games. The Thursday/ Friday games are madness .

You’re correct in saying that’s it’s never going to happen. In an era where UEFA want an almost “closed shop” super-league to replace the CL, then the idea of a rogue FA Cup winner in the mix is a non-starter.

Shame though. If it had been adopted last season, we were nearly one game away from the prospect of Ben Sheaf getting injured in the San Siro.

What's it like there ? Wanted to go nearest I got there was back in 1996, when I was on Flores about a 100 miles away.

Really hope Collins isn't in the starting lineup. Would prefer keeping Dovin for league and cup. If Lampard wants to have a different keeper for the cup, then I hope it is the youngster Bell.

16-18k will be a good crowd. There will be a decent 'walk up' with people bored on a January Saturday.

Relegation was never on my radar this season. Was shocked that Warnock even mentioned it. However, injuries are killing us. Think Hull, Luton. Stoke and Cardiff will improve now and even Luton will have a new Manager. We really need to be at it from now on.
