FA Cup Final - Pre-Match Thread

[john e]

If we win on the 30th,do we become the first club to win the cup in 3 different centuries ?

And no one can catch us up on that one for at least 85 years

Nope, Blackburn, Preston, West Brazil, Wolves, Forest and both Sheffield clubs have successes in the 19th and 20th Centuries so we'd best win next month to be on the safe side.

yes I got that totally wrong didn't i

Been scouring the net for tickets and found a scammer on Craigslist claiming he'd got 4 tickets in Block 144 for £600. He even sent me a photo of what he said was proof of tickets. What a tosser, the name on the Club Wembley membership card was Mr A Sample! Unbelievable - you can bet he wanted payment by Western Union.

Ticket or no ticket, I'm definitely heading over for the final. In the event that i don't manage to blag one, would there be much happening around brum for the game, or would london be a better bet?

London.

The Trust are trying to arrange for the game to be on at Villa Park.

If I remember right Guzan missed out on both Wembley games in 2010 as Brad senior was the main GK and now that he is number 1 the  current deputy is keeping him out. How unlucky is that?

I'm sure Tim will bring him on once we're 4-0 up.

Is the Duke of Cambridge going to be on hand to hand us the trophy?

I'm heading back to brum if I can't get a ticket. If nothing else then a party at my mom's with the family (and babysitters) will be great. Was hoping for a fan park or whatever their called in city centre though.

He can play against Chelsea there in August.

Good point DeKuip. When is the Charity sorry Community Shield as I don't want to be away on holiday?

When I first read this I thought it said "...trying to arrange for the game to be AT Villa Park" which would have been a nice try!

Coming over from Oman for this, been in the Middle East for the last 9 years and apart from Sunderland at home this season, which my daughter bought for a Christmas present no booking history, so will be on the look out for tickets by fair or foul means.
Were there alot of touts knocking about on Sunday also would someone pm me the sites these Club Tickets can be bought, if I can get one for 500, would pay that as I am 55 and with my lifestyle if its another 15 years before the next one, I will be watching as a Holte Ender in the Sky.

Probably be more helpful for us to agitate for it to be played at the Emirates.
