Standing/Sitting Areas for Semi final Wembley
« on: April 09, 2015, 06:13:50 PM »
Given the trend of standing at both wembley appearances in 2010, villa being one the biggest supporters safe standing, and persistent areas of standing established at villa park, it's safe to say there will be a good number of Villa supporters standing throughout the game at the semi final. On the other side equally there will be supporters who won't want to stand and might be able to. To avoid the standers and sitters clashing I call for us the villa supporters to organise ourselves. I would suggest we follow current trends. Those wanting to sit get their tickets at the front or on the side lines, and those who want to stand get tickets behind the goal or in the back blocks.

But that only works if you tell the other 33,000 going of your plan before they got theirs.

Witton end totally agree.
Anyone who seen me on the upper Holte v west brom in the f.a. Cup singing shouting jumping up and down for 90 minutes just to let you all know I was actually trying to get everyone to sit down applaud politely because there was a few people who would of liked to of seen the game from there sitting position on the Holte end.
 I thought it was April 9th today it must be April the 1st

Good idea. I've told everyone.

They are all on board and everyone has agreed to change their tickets accordingly. 30,000 of us will be meeting at the Costa Coffee around the corner before the game to swap them so we all have the desired seating.

Oh and some bloke with a drum has asked to sit by you.

It's an away game, stand up. It won't feel like 90 minutes anyway, it never does at Wembley.

Been in club wembley last 2 times we've been there, both times its kicked off due to a mixture of alcohols and disappointment and a blended group of supporters.
Think it will be more civilised in the regular seats which we are looking forwards to.

I was at both Wembley games in 2010, in the same block - toward the back of the lower tier, behind the goal, and there wasn't any standing.

Shout out to the old, young or health-challenged types in the crowd!

Enjoy your 90 minutes watching someone else's back!

It might be an away game but it'll be a totally different demographic to usual away games.

Good point keep those who want to sit and stand apart.Against united in the cup o knew I would be standing as it's behind the goal at the back. Chelsea I was surprised I was on the side in the middle and was standing. I will say it's season ticket holders or regulars who stand day tripper, Johnny come lately types don't.
