FA Cup Semi Final - Wembley

[truewhite15]

Where are "the cheap seats" at Wembley? What price seats behind the goal?

[TKIZ!]

Would assume that the cheaper ones are behind the goal and up in the gods. Not sure we could always ask the Brum City fans who went t'other week?

[Gaz Tomorrow]

Has anybody ever driven down to Wembley from Bolton? Just wondering about average drive time etc.. and what it is like for parking?


I was going to stay overnight but im guessing most places will be booked up with both semi-finals on the same weekend.

Stayed in a hotel in Reading before and got the train in. Cheaper than a London hotel and only half an hour on the train. Swings and roundabouts with Watford really though.

Stayed in High Wycombe last time, train straight into London can buy a ticket that includes tube, as others have said way cheaper than the capital. Am going to do a there and back for the semi and stay over for the final

[BWFC_Insane]

Well, I'd say we've now got a 50:50 chance of the final.

Not sure we could ask for much more than that.

Stoke will be saying the same mind and are the sort of team who could burst the bubble, rip up the script and stop the Man Utd vs Bolton fairytale final that the media are just cottoning onto now!

COYW!!!

Lets not get to far ahead of ourselves .. we still have a tricky long throw ins are us team to beat in the semi-final

Appreciate that, haha however gutted will be an understatement if i cant afford the final and we get there !!!! Surely even a bolton fan can be allowed a little dream time right now? Lets ride the wave and enjoy it!

I'd say our odds are better than that if we play the ball to feet across the middle of the park, we should have room, Wembley is a big pitch.
Just as an aside that should also negate Delaps throw in to an extent thus removing one of Stokes main threats, this will proberbly be the best game between Stoke and Bolton being more "open" than usual due to the space, we have the players to go all the way in this!

Am i right in thinking that the Wembley pitch is similar to the Reebok surface wise in that it has the plastic element sewn into it?

indeed it does.

Apologies if this has been mentioned before on here but that plus, the fact we have players that have played on the Wembley pitch before, plus recent performance = Surely not even BWFC can throw this one away???

I take it you didn't go to the Middlesborough game? Or the Watford Game? Or the Villa game? Or the Tranmere game......

Good point, but a wide pitch won't exactly kill Stoke with Pennant and Etherington! In fact given they've got Jones up front it might suit them to an extent.

I really do think its 50:50. On a big pitch their game might suffer from not being able to launch it as easily from throw ins etc but equally we might struggle with our high temp pressing midfield game. We leave quite a bit of space in behind but thankfully Stoke haven't got bags of pace to exploit it.

Can't get away from 50:50. 5 very nervous weeks ahead. But hey its exciting!

[adamworthy2002]

[Verbal]

Should re-sign Deano for this one.

You're obviously young! I wouldn't rely too much on fate.

Last time we went to a Wembley semi final the "fate" was that we were destined to play in the last ever final at the "old Wembley" having played in the first. As it turns out Wembley was still in use the year after IIRC, and of course we lost thanks to Dean H. But yeah don't get "too hung up on fate". It has a cruel way of dissapointing you.
