Let us know how that works out for you.

 

Won't will depend on who we play? Wigan took a smaller allocation for Saturday and same happened for last seasons Final.

If Arsenal win on Saturday I suspect we will struggle for any more. Particularly if we dont sell our allocation for the Semi!

 

Are the bus prices astronomical in Hull as only 16,000 made it across Hull for the quarter final?

 

And how does that go against what I said about clubs getting 25,000 tickets? Or support your statement about us getting 4,000 extra tickets if we got 25,000? Man City initially got 25,000 andWigan only requested 21,000 of their location though they later upped it.

25,000 is the initial allocation, as in the link. The only way we will get anymore is if the opposition don't sell out, and that isn't guaranteed due to segregation concerns.

In some cases you will be correct. I bet many of us know people who are holding back and waiting for the Final (if we make it). Plus those who dont think the semi's should be played @ Wembley. Sunday with a 4.07pm ko time is not helpful either.

That was the gate. I suspect 5000 of that were from Rotherham at least.

This is almost a home game for Arsenal and so they should. The Wigan support will be well outnumbered for sure.
Unfair and yet more ammunition for those who think the semi's should be played elsewhere.

It is without a doubt. This is the game that Blunts fans have been waiting for since the draw was made. Nothing else matters as they are stuck in mid-table of league one.

Some fans will have hope that we do.

Speaking with the ticket office today They have already decided who will get the 25000 and the priority of sale.

Maybe City need to tell fans that if they want to go to Wembley this season then they should get a ticket for sunday as a Cup Final ticket maybe hard to get.

 

Anyone knurr what we've sold up to now, this minute, today?

 

I know I couldn't believe I was typing it

 

Word has it that we are well over 27,000 now.

 

well you have now moved to block 516 in the £30 still same blocks in £40 so not many more sold since monday ,shame really and you are selling £60 ones at your ticket office which the club couldnt give away to various councils , good job the blades have shifted nearly 33k and loads more in club wembley sheffield ,london is red and white

 

Going to be plenty of pork to fill ourselves up with on Sunday then.

 

your getting us mixed up with the south barnsley massive ,if id got the time id explain how and why the pig references started

.in 1978 or so jack charlton was manager ( a baby pig is called a jack ) jack charlton also christened mel sterland their fullback and a sheffielder the flying pig ,they also changed their club badge to a new design which blades fans soon altered so it had a snout and curly tail .also just near the ground is lillys pork store which has a pig as a sign . they will say b acon is red and white which they came up with in the early 80s (thick as pig **** )

 

Bollocks, everyone knows your lot are the pigs, I've never heard anyone call Wednesday the pigs. Just looking for excuses to bad mouth your big brothers.

 

It's shame you can't sell that many tickets for your home games.I get the impression that 50% of your support at Wembley will just be glory hunters.

 

There is a long history of it. Below is taken from a Sheffield forum.

"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."

Wednesdays' first nickname was the Blades and sometimes Cutlers and both teams were referred to by those names for sometime.

Used to work with a Wednesday fanatic who never missed a game home or away and who used to arrange his shifts round their games.
