FA Cup QF Draw

bang goes the 0-0 draw wrote:8600 tickets.

Starts at 5+ credits tomorrow so should go all the way down to Reds.

Travel options still not updated...

The Guardian claims we are due over 11,000 tickets for this.

"FA rules state that the away club can claim up to 15% of the opponent’s stadium capacity – equating to around 11,250 seats for Arsenal."

I wonder why we aren't receiving the full allocation?

Presume it is due to segregation, so we've got the whole upper tier behind the goal and the normal away end. To give any more would be pretty hard for the concourse (presume they have no way to segregate there).

Think we've got a good allocation, how we are going to get almost 9k gooners who can go on a Monday night is another thing.

Yeah they take one of the blocks away on the end for segregation, but even then I would've expected it to be a little more than 8,600. If memory serves it was over 9,000 last time, but can't see why Arsenal wouldn't voluntarily take up the full number possible.

Will easily go down to Reds and sell out anyway, you can tell they know that and are looking to shift them in a hurry by only starting at 5+

perhaps they're not getting a full allocation at the bowl if it goes to a replay. If we reduce their's they reduce ours

They never give 11k, they're given special dispensation not to give the full 15% because their ground is so large. If this doesn't go down to reds I'll be extremely pissed off.

To be honest i think red members will definitely get a ticket. Too many reasons to stop a lot of people travelling up from London who would otherwise have gone (live on BBC, travel, usual poor displays at OT). Its going to be a pig to get back to Nottingham and most other places in the Midlands as well.

FWIW, the 2008 FA Cup game at Man Utd went down to red members (I was one, and attended, so remember it well).

And that was a Saturday, and we were top of the league at the time. I'd be stunned if this didn't go to reds as well.

What did it go down to in 2011 when we played them in the cup

If the club pull off those travel arrangements then they will deserve credit; decent fair prices.
