Whatever happened to tokens in the programmes (not that I've bought one this season - but probably would if they had tokens in 'em)...
We were just talking about that in the pub tonight, tokens. Before my time like. I've still got all my away stubs from this year though. Force of habit. You'll be very (EDIT)lucky(/EDIT) as a non ST to get a ticket to the final should we get there. I didn't realise finalists got even fewer tickets in the seventies though!

Exactly, Prufrock. Not much chance of the final for me - if we get through! I can accept that (to an extent) so that's why I'm making the effort for the Semi-final. I think other fans should think the same, though I know it's tough with money.

Oatcake are quoting that we've sold 22k so far, I'm not sure if that is encouraging or not given you would have expected all 13k ST holders to have bought 2 tickets each by now whether for themselves or on behalf of somebody else

Not sure why you expect all season ticket holders to buy 2 tickets each, I go to the match with another season ticket holder and we've bought enough for us 2 and not 4 on the off chance some friend will want to go.

It's just a view that I would have thought that all ST holders would have taken up the offer but that's clearly not the case, so be it :shock:

If I can buy some tickets on the 4th I'll be happy but it's not the end of the world if I can't.

The new Wembley is nice but no pies.

If the offer's still open I wouldn't say no.

I'm not sure they allow you to bring pies in from the outside but a pre-game pie is definitely possible.

Tickets bought and about to buy coach tickets. Apparently, we've got to queue up for 2 hours to catch the fooking things!

Why not just allocate coach numbers, it's not exactly rocket science is it?! :twisted:
