We can get 42k every week in the league but not for a semi? Maybe Man City awaiting is putting people off.We don't sell out cup games. Bradford and Blackburn were 40k+ but didn't sell out. Albion QF was only 39,500 with 6k away fans. Genuinely can't remember the last cup game we sold out?There will be less than 1k empty seats in our ends by kick off which isn't bad in January when everyone is skint. The fact we pretty much sold out against Watford on a Tuesday night says a lot about where the fans' priorities lie.Other factors are that Leicester destroyed us at home a few weeks ago and most people I know think we're going to lose. Even if we do get through then Man City are waiting in the final who would most likely batter us. Shall we just not bother then? Should we give up on every competition because eventually we'll come up against a team better than us?

Still not sold out, surprised about that. We can get 42k every week in the league but not for a semi? Maybe Man City awaiting is putting people off.

I know what QV means, and I know what you mean too - that's the conundrum I have had going around in my head for a few days.I hope we win it, but having just been swatted away by the other finalist, who ran up a cricket score without even trying, and adding in the distraction from the relegation fight, I have never been so unexcited about a cup semi final.I know it's bad, but I can't help feeling that way.
Man Utd might pull off a surprise on Wednesday, people: you never know. Wouldn't mind beating them at Wembley again!Remember everyone thought we'd be playing Leeds in the Play-off Final???
Blimey, how times have changed …. when we would rather be playing Newton Heath, than Citeh, in a final
Hope nobody goes on the pitch if we win. Would look a bit daft if Man City did batter us in the final.
