Fa Cup Draw thread

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I have not noticed that the walls are removable but if they are, then I can see possibilities of moving the away fans in the upper. From seeing the construction, it looks like an immovable object to me
Sorry, not sure I understood your point. There are movable walls all over that area that will enable separation of all fans. :?
I am just saying I have not noticed the movable walls. I will check so during the Fulham game
Go down to block 25 and then try to access the away fans. There will be a big black movable wall in your face.

I have seen where the walls can be placed in the upper tier as I have sat above the away fans a couple of times.

I just checked what Leeds are advertising.

Could a silver member take a look at the ticket site and see what kind of availability there is for the red member sale tomorrow? Desperately want to get lower tier but don't want to get hopes too much up.

Many thanks.

Don't get your hopes up mate. Only lower tier available seems to be in the FE. Sorry!

Actually just thinking about this. In order to make sure there are tickets for reds they must have to block some from sale, so perhaps I can't see stuff that they will release tomorrow. :?:

Reds are only guaranteed tickets for League games though aren't they? Does anyone know if the ticket exchange becomes available for FA Cup games? Almost 2 years since our last home FA Cup match so I can't remember :lol:

not sure about TX but presumably yes because you can get it for the champions league games.

there's also no defined red tickets for cup games, it's league only, so this definitely looks like an upper tier job! oh well.

cheers for the heads up everyone. were the available upper tier blocks green or orange?

Nah, there's no ticket exchange for CL games... I think there is for FA Cup though.
