Standing/Sitting Areas for Semi final Wembley

[Witton End]

This thread is the icing on the cake for TC and me.   She could have maybe managed the steps to get on a coach and, with my  help, walked to the stadium but she is physically unable to stand for 90+ minutes and knowing our luck we would be stuck behind people like Witton End.  So, with heavy hearts, we've decided to stay at home.

I sympathise with you, but these are the problems that are faced when sitters and standers are in the same blocks.it's a. Common sense solution to allocate a standing area for those that want to. They won't so I would advise get a ticket at the front of the upper tier or on the side if want to sit.

yeah but for the semi when you bought a ticket , it was for a block
they couldnt specify and you couldnt choose
a seat at the front of the block ,    or the back of the block
i suggest sit down when the opposition are attacking
and stand up when villa are attacking
its worked well in the holte end for years

women at the ticket off show me a map of the stadium, and said which part of the block do you want,  I chose the back one and no one sat .

each block I.e 546 and every other one was broken in to the 3 parts, green was back yellow for middle and front one but can't remember the colour.  These colours of each block was probly 20-30% of each block. I went for green and was bout 8 rows of the back.

to be fair we starting to sound like boring old farts. if someone wants to post about standing surely we should sympathise and point in the direction of amfy's campaign?

That would be a terrible shame, I hope selfish pricks like Mr End realise the consequence of their actions but I somehow doubt they ever will. I hope you both have a change of heart and make it to the game.

Well said, Chris; I'm sure that SOTC and TC realise, as longstanding fellow posters on here, that Witton End is in the minority and seems to have far too much time on his hands. It would great if SOTC and TC could somehow make it to Wembley for the Final and be accommodated at the front where they can both sit, and see.

I totally agree and have said from the start that we should segregate ourselves as much and where possible so we don't spoil the match for each other.

I'm sorry but you're talking gibberish. How do you you expect 32,000 people to segregate themselves?

Thanks for all your kind comments everyone.

Witton End, I hope that you never find yourself in my position but if you do, maybe then you'd understand how completely selfish you're coming across.

We won't be going to the Cup Final even though I have said SOTC should go , she has said that she won't  go without me.

I'm not being selfish as by separating you from standing supporter's means you would be sitting. If I was surrounded by supporters sitting then I would conform and sit no questions asked, but I never need to as I choose my tickets carefully and I am always with the standers.

Do you always talk such bollocks or is it something you reserve for us?

I was sat behind two old guys (brothers) on the coach back from the Swansea home game.  They must've been going for 50 odd years and remembered us winning the 57 final.  They've been season ticket holders since god's dog was a puppy.  They were saying they couldn't go to the semi because in 2010 everybody stood up and they just couldn't do it anymore at their age.  They also wouldn't go to the final if we got there.  Quite sad really.  And no I didn't ask for their ref codes before you ask.  Someone else did though.

WE, no you're not necessarily being selfish (?) but you are still being totally ridiculous. Sitters/standers CAN'T BE SEPARATED BECAUSE BY LAW THERE IS NO STANDING!!!  Please try to understand this really simple concept. Clubs cannot allocate sitting/standing tickets because standing IS NOT ALLOWED! BY LAW! and other stuff!
A co-ordinated safe-standing arrangement - as they have in Germany, and the supporters of this great club of ours has already started to campaign for, led by amfy - would solve the vast majority of the sitting/standing issues raised herein!
Keep up the campaign - contact the club, Lee Preece is 100% behind it. We'll get there eventually but a few dinosaurs need further convincing.

It would also mean an end to such tedious arguments about something that should not need arguing about.
I don't pretend to have any answers to TC and SOTC's specific problem, but I book away tickets for my mate and his disabled daughter and there is an opportunity there to address the issue in a number of ways. Mate's daughter is not totally restricted in her mobility but we have often been seated in row 1/A, right at the front of the seating area and our view is not blocked.
(Irony - she struggles with viewing the game from a low position! And when I asked to NOT be in the lower tier for the semi-final the TO said they couldn't tell us where we'd be! Not even tier, block or anything! We ended up in the Lower tier!!! But at least near the back of it, so view excellent for her. Don't know who you spoke to but you must have been very lucky to have all that attention, feedback and fuss about where you sat/stood!)

I'm very tired now.
UTV!

It's like Groundhog Day. Does Witton End have a hotline I can call when I'm buying a ticket?

Excellent. Now to really piss him off, shall we organise a standing section without telling him?
