FA Cup Semi arrangements

If we had beaten West Ham, Arsenal and Chelsea, I think we would have sold out. I also think they would have released the season ticket prices too

 

It's also terrible timing being the same day as the Southampton marathon and London marathon. That'll knock out a fair few people that otherwise would have gone, myself included.

 

I liked that so people would think I am capable of running a marathon. In fact, I am only capable of eating one (for you older ones out there)

 

That made me snicker

 

Interestingly (well not really), I just googled it and the name was changed 28 years ago. Half this board would have never bought a marathon bar

 

So we meeting up then?

 

I'm arriving in London at about 11am. I am however, in corporate so be in Wembley stuffing my face from 12:30, but up for a meet before then.

 

Yeah I've never heard of a marathon bar. To me that's the place you buy drinks after the marathon.

 

I knew it was the old name for Snickers, but I have never seen one. I was only 1 when the name changed though.

 

I only get in around one but happy to join the party then. Someone with better knowledge of the area want to pick?

 

For the youngsters wondering what us oldies are on about......

 

Chatting to the die hard United fan who does security in our place. He said that United's allocation for Sat went to general sale which is a rarity for the likes of United. This lad was at every away European game last season and most league and cup away ones and couldn't get a ticket for the EPL Final last year so the same interest isn't there elsewhere either

 

I only know about this from Father Ted...July 19th, Marathon became Snickers, Galway Liberated from Indians, Ice Age ended...And most importantly, my day of birth!

 

Chelsea apparently haven't sold their allocation either, and they're a london based big team with not much else to play for.

 

Me too, see you at the Buffet table, or whatever they do.

 

lol we should have the posh not606 meet in corporate

No riff raff allowed

 

I'm not going, mainly because of the cost - ticket, train (about £70), hotel for 1 night, food etc etc. I'd rather wait and see if we get to the Final...

 

The Midland Massive (which now includes a member who moved to Cornwall - daft Bugger) will be setting off about 8am by car down to North London then over ground train down to Wembley. What a nightmare Wembley is to get to

 

Much better if it was at the Millenium Stadium

 

I actually agree with you, much easier for me too!
