FA Cup semi final

[Brown Nose]

4000 Chelsea fans then

If the government are organising the trial, it will be 4.000 Chelsea fans at the Leicester/Southampton semi.

With tickets given to a party donor who then sells them at a grand a piece

Well 4000 fans will ensure decent air circulation I suppose.

**** me, how ridiculous.

 

[Volpone]

**** me, how ridiculous.

I doubt they will find 4000 people in Brent who give a ****.

 

[mabrah]

I know someone called Brent. Does that mean I can get a ticket?

This is nought more than a photo-op, a party political broadcast, a feel-good factor gesture. It's got **** all to do with football, let alone the FA Cup. Of course, if you're a Foxes or Southampton fan living in Wembley then you'd naturally think it's a pretty good idea.

I could probably get tickets due to a friend living in Wembley but the day and ko time makes it difficult.

I'm sure there will be proper ID checks so only the people who get the tickets can use them. If they don't do that most of them will end up being sold.

 

[mabrah]

I have every faith in humanity.... scrotes will be out to coin it, flogging tickets for whatever they can get plus a bit, and sod the rules. I shall be very interested to see what plans are proposed around the purchase and use of these tickets. I'm afraid I can see it as being an exercise that fails miserably.

I'm sure your correct Jeff, but what's to stop my friend coming with me, let's say he got 2 tickets in his name and I just went with him.
I'm not going anyway as the ko and day is to much of an inconvenience plus its not in the spirit of things in the current climate.

Could not agree more. Honestly, I see this as little more than a stunt. Something to say 'look how good we are, getting the country moving again' It's the wrong message right now when people should still be being discouraged from gathering.

The only point will be to prove we can host the Euro matches, I suspect

 

[Speedy1]

Might win us a few more fans who are disenchanted with those rubbish London sides when they see how brilliant we are

They're only letting people in who have negative tests, and asking people to have tests again after the game.
Presumably they're doing this to get some data to assess the risk of letting fans in to more events.

But I don't think you can really tell by doing this, because the people at the match won't behave like fans.

 

[homer]

What an absolute ****ing abomination of an idea

I didn’t think it were possible to cheapen this competition any further, but these FA ****ers are far more innovative than I gave credit for.

Total wankers

I'd forgotten about the Euros. So, like I said, a stunt!

Which is a ****ing ridiculous thing to be doing n all...

Which is a ****ing ridiculous thing to be doing n all...

You can't go on holiday to Europe, but fans from all over can flock here for a tournament. You couldn't make it up, so it's lucky you don't have to.

 

[Payne74]

Should of just scrapped the whole thing, I mean it's not like we don't have a word cup the following year.
