Chelsea fan here and I personally think it is disgraceful that both clubs get just over 25,000 tickets for a final leaving 40,000 other tickets! We got an allocation of 25,020 and you got 25,074. It just isn't on. It means at Chelsea many supporters who have been going home and away domestically and in europe won't be getting tickets. I hope the FA are happy with themselves. And the pricing is also too high. £115 for some tickets! Also King Kenny saying it is only unfair on Liverpool regarding the ticket allocaion and not mentionning us when we got a smaller allocation (by a few tickets) is quite annoying. He only seems to care about your fans and no one else! Anyway I got my tickets today (2 tickets at £85 each!) and I'm hoping for a great cup final. I think that due to the late kick off then it is almost inevitable that there will be some violence considering the rivalry that us two clubs share. See you at Wembley.
Why will there be violence? And why should Kenny give a fook about Chelsea after your disgraceful performance during the minutes silence?
I'm pretty sure Kenny said something along the lines of "It's not fair to only Liverpool fans, but fans of other teams".
Here's the exact quote "Sometimes that is the problem when fans are taken for granted - not just our fans but those at all football clubs,".
OK fair enough I take it back. In the one I read I didn't see that quote. In that case it provokes the question where the fark are the other 40,000 tickets going? Out of interest what was your allocation for the carling cup final?
Our Carling Cup Allocation was 31,745 (Cardiff's was the same I think). With regards the other 40,000 tickets - FA Cronies, FA Club Members, Sponsors, etc. We're in agreement with you lot. The ticket allocation is a ****ing shambles
guys, every single club up and down the country get an allocation. i think there are over 100 fa groups? that decide o nthe england manager and this is why the tickets go to them as well as how long it takes to make a manager appointment. Then they are giving tickets to all sorts.. I thikn 25k is too little for either club and it actually makes policing more difficult.. i think chelsea fans deserve better just as we do cos let be frnak here... the make an athmosphere you need the guys who went to the 3rd round and frooze themselve in january not the suits chomping prawns. wembely = horrible place.
This angers me so much I cannot describe it. All footballs governing bodies are so corrupt it drives me to the point where I just ignore it otherwise i'll explode. I mean we will have an atmos of 50 thousand instead of 80! Thats nearly half the stadium who are not even fans of either team! That is absolutely criminal - as well as playing the semi there purely to cover their **** budgeting/cost management with Wembley. I work in the building industry as a QS and the fact they lost loads of money and are now getting for us to pay for it just stinks.
The FA allocation is an embarassing, there policy openly encourages tickets touting and they dont care.Lets face it thousands of those tickets not allocated to LFC/CFC will end up with them anyway at several times face value, so the so called "football family/Club Wembley" are just using it as money making enterprise.They( the FA ) are only bothered about making money As for violence , there has been not a sniff at games with far more venom involving LFC this season such as the semi v Everton and the Cup v Yernited, so the fact you are even mentioning worries me with sort of fans YOU have
