Northern Red Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Tuesday 9th Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North London Red Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 As Arsenal are away to Forest on Sunday 7th January, they almost certainly won’t be playing their first leg against Chelsea on Tuesday 9th, so my best guess right now is that our trip to the blue side of Manchester will be on Tuesday 9th, with the first leg of Chelsea / Arsenal on Wednesday 10th. Only question is, are the two games definitely on the Tuesday and Wednesday, or could the Thursday be used instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will be playing Tuesday, as they wouldn’t want both games on Weds will they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS5_RED Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 8 minutes ago, class not gas said: Officilly 10%. The puts us at approx 5500. However, the http://www.footballgroundguide.com/leagues/etihad-stadium-manchester-city.html#awhat-is-it-like-for-visiting-supporters says away end can hold up to 4500 if required. Either way tickets will sell out in 0.02 seconds anyway :-) UTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Cigar Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Re allocation, Wolves got 5,500. The semis last season were played on a Tues and Wed. Then you play the reverse for the 2ng leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Wolves took a final allocation of 6164. Initial 5500 then a further 614 were realeased. Source Birmingham Mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might have to be the trade off, but it would mean less for our fans at AG which I don’t think we would want. But you can’t have it both ways.

That’s true, there might be little interest in them turning up to watch us, I mean they win every week don’t they and this match won’t be covered by their ST’s. A huge interest for us but compared with some games they have we are a poor opposition in their eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah that makes sense. i just looked Chelsea have Norwich away on Sat 6th Jan (FA cup) and on Sat 13th they are at home to Leicester. Arsenal are playing on Sun 7th Forest, FA cup and on Sunday 14th are away at Bournemouth. On 3rd Jan Arsenal are at home to Chelsea in a Premiership match, so will play eachother twice in a week.

If Man City cannot sell out a semi final then that is more a reflection on there poor support as opposed to us being 'unattractive'. I can guarantee Arsenal or Chelsea would have sold there full allocations out if we would have drawn them just as United did.. you only have to look at the half empty etihad week in week out to see that there support is fairly **** in comparison to the other more established successful prem clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading Red UTC Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 As others have said Tuesday 9th looking most likely for the away leg. Be interesting to see how many we would take. Obviously, huge match but on a Tuesday night, just after Christmas and at less than three weeks notice. I would suggest that getting tickets for this won't be that difficult. We'll take minimum 4k but would predict it would make general sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 For anyone interested, here are the costs of the premier league squads for thin season. Man C have spent a bit more than Man U, but both massive amounts: https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/643989/Premier-League-squad-values-transfers-price-fees-players-money-sportgalleries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
