    Little to do with the name change... I think many are just assuming we'll beat Sheff Utd and are saving for the final instead. It's not cheap to do once let alone twice. Might be naive though as it won't be an easy game!

    It doesn't really matter what anyone thinks should happen. The fact is they sold season tickets with one of the benefits being priority purchasing on Cup and away tickets. If they don't give priority to pass holders it's a breach of contract, so they're going to have priority.

    Right, Ive just been on our OWS - I never go on there - and I literally cannot believe the main headline page dpoesnt scream FA CUP SEMI FINAL TICKETS - FOR SALE. Not only that, I watched 5 banners scroll past and it isnt even on any of them!!! Instead we have players in the friggin team of the week - who gives two ****s about that?!?!? I cant even see on there without looking hard how you go about buying tickets.

    This is just incredible. Are they trying not to sell out?

    There is no one there in the club to do it - weren't they all sacked last season.

    How do they know who went to the semi? Where's the list of who was admitted on the second ticket?

    Issue a statement telling people to hold on to their ticket stubs if they want a final ticket, simple.

    Do they then take the stub off the person when they come in for a ticket for the final meaning that there's no souvenir, or do they **** around writing the number down and checking that each of the 20,000 ticket stubs they're having brought in haven't previously been used to get a ticket for the Final?

    OK, so they're going to **** about creating a system we currently don't have on the computers, that when someone comes in with a ticket stub they have to input the ticket number to tell them whether anybody else has tried using that ticket stub yet or not?

    I think people are gambling on us reaching the final.

    The reason I've gone on coach is so I can go to the final if we reach it.

    With season pass renewals coming up its not a cheap time

    This cup run has cost me new guitar :grin:

    Um... it would take a simple shared Excel file and about 30 seconds to create it. In this case it really ISN'T rocket science...

    ...though it's a moot point anyway as they won't do anything that simple.

    **** and I thought this was a message board for discussion.

    Doesn't matter what we think of the name change either but that doesn't stop people talking about it.

    There was a discussion. You came up with an idea. Someone explained why it was not going to happen. End of discussion.

    I didn't say I deserve to get one over anyone else !

    I have however gone to the majority of cup games this season ( apart from Brighton away ). Just because someone goes to Wembley on Sunday, doesn't mean they are automatically entitled to be first in line for a final ticket if we get there.
