    Do you mean might have to? Why? Money reasons presumably.

    I might pack it in after over 50 years because the match day experience is so crap. Stewards glaring at you even in South East corner where it is families on one side and well behaved people on the other. Surrounded by people who look in horror at anyone making a noise who then leave 10 minutes early meaning they are causing people to stand after complaining if other people stand up even briefly during the game.

    Thought maybe it may get too expensive travelling with you being away. I have to travel and it makes it a dear day out. I am OK but my lad who is on a low wage finds it a struggle especially when there are two games in a week.

    Fair enough.

    I have a season pass (I save my birthday money for it, if not got enough usually go on direct debit), but I don't go to midweek games, that is a bit too much of a hassle.

    As a person with parents who have split up, quite a decent bit.

    My season ticket only costs £195 though.

    I wish

    Now that is high up. Oh well just think of the atmosphere, bet the ball is just like a little speck though.

    Don't worry. Thousands of fans manage quite happily. And, around the world there are many stadiums where you are higher and further from the pitch. There are now regulations for new stadiums regarding the angle of the stands and a maximum distance you can be from the centre circle. This in effect means that a stadium the size of Wembley is about as big as you can get. The only way to get over its capacity would be to have no corporate or club areas and replace them with ordinary seats and money from those sources compared to seats means it won't happen.
    A lot of older, famous stadiums wouldn't meet the new requirements. Wembley has the most people within the maximum distance allowed from the centre spot than any stadium in the world.

    I was about 6 rows from the back yesterday and on the back row in 2008. It really isn't as bad as you think. In fact I really like the view.

    I was on row 10 of 517, and it was a brilliant view, I hope for something similar for the final.

    Was in 525 row 20, think 24 rows from top . View was good but I didn't know that Sheff Utd had this square sponsor thingy on their shirts until I saw ITV highlights.

    I thought their kits looked a bit unusual as well, because I didn't remember seeing the fans having massive white boxes on their shirts during the day...

    I didn't word the point I was trying to make very well...

    "Would hate knowing absent pass holders and/or plastics get better tickets ahead of those pass holders who forked out for the semi."

    And before you come attacking with your reason why you couldn't go to the semi final but you have a pass etc. etc. Stop feeling the need to defend yourselves. If you had a good, valid, sound reason then so be it. If you didn't, and you end up with crap seats, then it's kinda your own problem for giving up your priority.

    It's a point I made in the stadium to people sat near me. We sold block by block and sent empty blocks back. They just put everything up and ended up with thousands of single empty seats. Maybe they thought we wouldn't notice with the seats being red <laugh>

    The £60 were originally sold to corporates. But in the final few days of general sale when they realised they wouldn't sell them, they started offering upgrades to anybody who could get to the ticket office before Friday 3pm and swap their seats.
