'Im in Hull end there many of us gonna be there' http://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/in...re-many-of-us-gonna-be-there/?view=getnewpost Someone incapable of stringing a sentence together is unlikely to be around long.
I must admit the absolute inane babble coming from the Wendy sites is beginning to grate. I'd almost forgotten and forgiven the few smacks in the gob I got from a few Wendy-House twats circa 79, but now I'm beginning to remember what arrogant dopes they are. Come on City, ***king stuff 'em by at least 3!
We go through this with all the teams we meet in big games, And they're soon forgotten about when we win! As above, let's do the talking on the pitch! 3-0
I'm thrilled just to be going to wembley. Win or lose im just going to enjoy the big day. I'm so grateful to have got my ticket, ive been to 60 odd games over the last two seasons but my great uncle Pete's next door neighbour has bought all my tickets for me. COME ON SHEFFIELD!

There seems to be some confusion about who are Pigs. Both clubs appear to call the other club's fans pig. This thread attempts to explain it. http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=220235 This particular post is quite interesting: "The Wednesday football club was formed on 4th September 1867. The football club first played its games at the Olive Grove Sports Ground in Heeley before moving to a new stadium in the Owlerton district of Sheffield. The first Ordnance Survey maps (1850's) mark a building close to where the stadium now stands as 'Swine Cottage'. They also show another farm on Penistone Road, south of where the North Stand is situated, which was also believed to be a large piggery. Pork farming is thought to have been practised in the area since the early 1800's, and did not cease until around 1900 when the city's rapid expansion put an end to livestock production in the area. At its height the "Owlerton Piggery," as it was known, provided work for some 50 employees. Initial discussions about a nickname began soon after the Wednesday arrived at Owlerton. In reference to their new home, most club officials were in favour of "The Owls." However, another suggestion was also popular. In view of the area's strong tradition of pork farming, a popular grass-roots alternative was "The Pigs." Although the name "Owls" prevailed, many working class supporters continued to refer to their team as "t'pigs." A popular song of the time "They may be t'Owls to some, (but they'll always be pigs to me)" was performed in music halls across South Yorkshire. As late as the 1920's, fans used to welcome their team onto the field with the characteristic grunting sound we still associate with the club. This peculiarity was once referred to by BBC commentator Edward Milburn, who famously described Hillsborough as a "sea of grunts" moments after The Wednesday won the First Division title in 1932."
Even I didn't know you needed a customer number now although I have now read the article on the OWS and seen it. I'd be happy for anybody from Hull to go whether they are City fans or not. They could make sure that Wednesday fans didn't get tickets by asking for proof of ID and proof of address.

I don't look at twitter very often. I did look at the OWS and saw it. I'm sure it wasn't mentioned in Hull Daily Mail. I would still be happy for anybody from Hull to go to Wembley.
Tottenham's terms & conditions for buying tickets at White Hart Lane is that you have to be a Tottenham fan (unless you buy away tickets). So they don't seem to want neutrals to attend - unlike Fulham.
My dad went to Hull City v Manchester United in 1949 and Hull City v Everton in 1964. I'm sure he went to other matches before I was born but only rarely. It would have been madness not allowing him to buy tickets after all City fans had got tickets.
From James Mooney's Twitter. "Is there anything stopping them signing up this morning then driving up with new customer numbers and buying?" James Mooney : "yes, you have to have previous purchase history."
