One per st holder, and allow a points level as well on day one.
Leave that for first three days say.
Then a further three days for all members card holders, then open sale.
Though I would expect to sell out within five days.
This would allow st to buy more than one if there was a member card holder they wanted to go.with.

Should be done alphabetically by first names.

Yeh, but they wouldn't be sat together. What if I want to get my son a ticket, who doesn't have a ST? Does he have to sit on his own?

Should be done by amount of goals scored at Wembley.

Zammo For those who don't obtain a ticket my advice is still to journey up to Wembley and enjoy the pre-match banter and watch the game in a pre-arranged boozer. You'll be joined by dispirited, face painted STH's and their plus ones around the 56th minute mark.

This is what I'm gonna try and convince my m8s to do. Would love it if we get the Green Man again.


Green Man is the best, well for club games anyway, but if we get The Torch, and i'm going to the game, then we've got a better chance of winning.

Not seen a defeat (or a bad match from my perspective - thought Long scoring in a 1-1 for Ireland made it ok) in 5 years of going to Wembley, mainly to see England, including a win over Spain, when I've gone to the Torch pre-match. Contrast that with the Green Man and after that Swansea defeat went back to the Green Man the following Sat for England-Switzerland and not only was the atmosphere in the pub a let-down, England drew 2-2 in a game we should have won.

theresayakonthepitch 2 per STH is just plain unfair. That is effectively giving general sale tickets to STHs before other members. How can that be right?
I see no reasonable explanation as to why should they get 2 other than "I want to take my mate or whoever' who obviously isn't a STH and just wants a day out. Well sorry but there are loyal fans who are not STHs that should get some priority.

If away fans don't get priority then...It has to be....
STHs = 1
Then points
Then general sale for all the day trippers (good luck with that)

If you get upset that your wife or Arsenal fan mate cant come then tough. They should try going to games and not just days out.


Stop moaning - the main thing here is that both myself and Pep get a ticket and the best way we can do this is by allowing STH's to have 2.


How many STH's are there? It's definitely less than 15k. Say 13k - if they get 2 tickets each, 26k, so there will be roughly just over 5k for the rest. Seems a fair system.

Exactly - and i think its only about 11k STH's - the +1 that a STH will take with them are more than likely going to be members anyway - it just means they can sit together

Or you should buy a season ticket instead of being a part-time plastic.

We've 4 STs for our family, but would far rather have 4 good tickets in tier 1 than promise of 8 tickets anywhere. For play off final we were up in tier 5, were you need a good pair of binoculars. For last few England games we've. 10 rows from front. It's down to personal pref, but I like to be closer to action.

Question I have is, is why do you only get 5 points for an away - ie travelling 4+ hours to the Bradford match but get 10 loyalty points for turning up at home matches that might be 10 minutes down the road?

Because you're not putting money into RFC's coffers when you purchase an away ticket. Simple as that.

Hang on, double standards here isn't there, if the FA can bring all their mates to Wembley games for a day out why cant I bring my mate to a game for a day out?

Therefore all tickets should go on general sale from day 1 on a first come first served basis. Be just like all our previous FA Cup semi finals as well and there were no issues from anyone attending them so why try to fix a process that isn't broken?

No, top 1413

I looked back at what QPR did last year and they had ST holders first with 2 per holder with a maximum of 8 per transaction. That seems pretty fair otherwise people wanting to sit together in a group could miss out waiting for general sale

if everyone bought an extra ticket and flogged it to touts there would then be issues

Already blagged a Club Wem-ber-lee hostility box of a bank where a mate of mine works..... not quite the same as being in the "end" but hey, when it's a 7k round trip frankly, just like the Super Furry Animals, I don't give a fcuk.
