woo woo. Ive managed to get one through a connection. Ill be sat in club wembley munching prawn sandwichs but who cares im going.

p.s. Im on a minibus running down from Leeds and Doncaster. It has 16 seats and their are only 8 of us. If you need transoport from Yorkshire for the game please PM me ASAP. If we can fill it, cost will be Â£25 each.

Think my ticket arrived this morning when I was at work - I have a 'special delivery' letter to pick up, am not expecting anything else!

bit disappointing from a Silver Member perspective, whispers I heard were the club couldn't give them away to Golds towards the end! I rang the club this afternoon and was told that because there were 'only a few left' there would be "no point" putting them up for sale to Silvers etc which was a shame.

It certainly puts things in perspective from my viewpoint, particularly as the people who turned their noses up at the early rounds can get a wembley ticket but if they're the rules I guess that's life. It does make me curious though as to what incentive Silver members get to attend literally every game, as I have, other than love for the club?

The members in question that you refer to argue that because they were good fans 15 years ago, then they deserve to be able to pick and choose their games.

I personally think a credits system should be put in place - not exactly rocket science, but the club just can't be bothered.

I hear this a lot, and I do understand where they're coming from but I didn't think it would be difficult to set aside 500 tickets to Silvers with most credits so it rewards them for loyalty. Suppose this is going over old ground though and it will continue to be a frustration for those of us who can't get a season ticket, 10 years of continual attending should be long enough in my book regardless of status but hey ho

I waited nearly a decade and in between that time had a red card that I struggled to go any big games with.

For me getting guaranteed tickets to Wembley is the least they can do. End of the day we are to big a club now and have more season ticket holders than there are available seats at Wembley.

My annoyance is more based on people who weren't interested in the previous rounds (the ipswich second leg went on general sale if i remember rightly for example) but still take up the ticket for wembley and the club are happy with this strategy. I've done enough mid-week away trips etc that everyone else mentions but as I don't have an ST in the grand scheme of things it's pointless I guess

Money talks I guess. Silvers that go aways donâ€™t contribute to club as much as a season ticket holder.

Nothing will ever change and I cant think of another way
Its a shame Wembley dont give us more seats. Thats the answer

I probably do contribute as much to the club in the over all picture IMO, easily looking at Â£1500 in home games alone and I've been away 10 times and counting this season. I'll just have to stay on the ST waiting list for another 20 years I suppose in the hope I can get to wembley one day!
