One month until we play Wolves away but yet we have no idea what day or time this match will take place.

Ridiculous and appalling for the away fans

According to Arsenal.com its down for sat April 20th ,but as the TV companies haven't picked what games there showing yet ,it could be moved to the sun.

Have to wait until FA Cup Semi kick off times are set. Assuming one FA semi is 5:30pm on Saturday and other is 4pm on Sunday. Also as Arsenal will be travelling back from Munich on Wednesday night/Thursday morning it will most likely be the Saturday 1230 game…

They just don't give a flying fuck about the customers - oops, sorry - fans. :roll:

I remember back in the 80s through the mid 90s, I'd just write to the club each month or so, pick whatever upcoming games I wanted tickets for, pick a couple back up options, and boom a couple weeks later the tickets would arrive by post. Nearly always the games I wanted and the stand I wanted (NB baby!). It was a great system for me I must say. 8)

Of course that was before money and TV all but ruined the game. :censored:

I was at that game too Red. We got a disputed penalty to score the winner. Frank worked hard on the ref and linesman to get the decision, badgering them for ages. The first game was obviously at their place on the Saturday and I saw it at the Dalston Odeon. A 2-2 draw and the only live game I've ever seen at the pictures. :lol: Fucking incredible atmosphere in there, like being on the terraces, but sitting in cinema seats :lol: .

We must be a similar age.

Probably Retro....Yes remember it was on at cinema, cant remember if we went to chelsea...but saw all away games in London from 1971 to around 1975....sure Alan Ball was playing ...we was loosing 1-0...and Geordie Armstrong got brought down....ref said no penalty at first then changed his mind....we got in ground early about 18:00 i think and it was already nearly full...fans signing at least 30 mins before kick off...that dont happen nowadays...Nortbank absolutely packed :D :D :D
Played Leeds in Final...Leeds fan gave me a ticket for face value :D ...shit final....Fella next to me threw a bottle which just missed Alan Clarkes head..
Dont think Clarke even saw it :D
