QuedgeRed Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Something to moan about other than yesterday's performance. It really f###ing bugs me why the best seats in Wembley are never full. Since the rebuild this has always been the case. They are directly opposite the TV cameras as well so give the appearance that the ground is not full to capacity I know they're for corporate ####s but I think it's about time they are opened up for proper, ordinary fans and let the corporate company representatives go elsewhere. At least it won't look shit on the box!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Unfortunately those seats were 10 year debentures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they choose to turn up having paid their money is up to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greedo Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Because by far and away the best seats at Wembly stadium (supposedly the home of football in Britain) are monopolised by corporate bigwigs with more interest in what flavour sandwiches they will get at halftime than the football on display if indeed they bother to attend the game in the first place. These seats should be offered first to the many fans around the country who pack the terraces on Saturdays and have a real interest in football and not the money they can make from it.

Tins Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I was actually in them today. The problem is that many people have no interest in football so don't attend. One bloke behind left after 80mins, and the 2 guys he was with started moaning about why leave when a match is 90mins! Which is fair enough. Today's match unfortunately had poor attendance due to the clubs. Man Utd had the odd free seat available but Man City had loads empty up the top, it was embarrassing to be honest!

Much easier to get the tube in rather than a coach or train from the north of the country.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tins Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Good match tins? Btw who were you supporting? Cracking match!! I was neutral but if had to choose it would of been city. I couldn't of asked for a better match for goals, entertainment etc and fair play to United. The problem with City is they aren't a "team". When they scored they looked more confident but when their conceded their heads drops, hence the quick 2nd goal (which was so perfect!) Manchini didn't even acknowledge his players when he subbed them and it showed! They had too many individuals. I was glad that the best team won in the end and had such a perfect day!

QuedgeRed Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Ok the FA have made 10 years decent dosh out of those seats, however they are an embarrassment to the game. Do they continue to sell them as 10 year debenture seats? My guess is that the FA probably don't even recognise them as an embarrassment at all and will continue to raise as much revenue from them as possible.

Red carpet going in, free programme, all the posh restaurants. Even met ex liverpool player Alan Kennedy, he was a guest celeb in one of the bars!!

QuedgeRed Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 What did fergie and manchini say after the match? Didn't see any interviews(or presentation of the shield) - switched over after the final whistle. One thing I did notice is that the ball was moving a lot in the air with the shot that scored city's second. Could be in for some good goals in the Premier League if they're using the same ball.

I'm glad you enjoyed them and the game, and btw, I am, of course, not including you as a corporate #### as in my original post! Did it not feel slightly strange to have empty seats around you though?

Did it not feel slightly strange to have empty seats around you though? Too be honest it wasn't too empty around me, It was pretty full, with the odd 1 or 2 seats free in every 20 around me. The funniest thing was at half time the bloke behind me in the cue to get drinks said "That bl**dy dzecko is a jolly good player!". And classic Jordan!!!
