1960maaan Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Just been on BBC Sport site and the game is on there as 19th , Tuesday. ManYoo play on the Sunday previous and on he Saturday evening. I would have thought they’d want a Wednesday to give them more time, but I guess it’s subject to change. Sky haven’t stepped up yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I think it's abhorrent you would want to price people out of supporting their local club. I'm not naive to football becoming more expensive but what you say flies in the face of 20 is plenty and all the good they are trying to achieve.

There's not enough incentive to bother rigging anything in this competition. You say that, but with all the “big” teams kept apart it opens up the possibility of two semi final derbies.

I hope the club price this around the £30 mark and do no concessions personally. This game should reward the fans who have been going for years on end and finally we get a big tie. This is not the game for first time fans who have not ever seen us play before. Whilst I agree with you that kids on iPad are wasted seats... You can't penalise kids who actually watch the game.. and they're the future of our club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is for worldwide tv audiences if it’s two legged affairs in the semis (funny how this cup has kept them?) between the 2 manchester and 2 London clubs. Now I wonder who could benefit from that? Who’s the sponsor again, oh yep the drinks company that almost no one in this country can actually buy their products but those in the Far East can.

Indeed LJ should pick the team that he feels can win the match . Sometimes throwing a youngster into the fray can pay off as they normally don't play with any fear and the opposition know diddly about them . We will see . Well that is down to Lee Johnson opinion, and of course injuries etc is going to affect team selection, but sentiment and giving fringe players ago is not the way to go when you are in the quarter finals.

myol'man Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Membership or not, if any plastic Mancs get hold of tickets in any home stand and make themselves known through wearing Utd kit or cheering when they score, they'll be chucked out. It's a criminal offence to buy a ticket in the wrong end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hantsred Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 My daughter has been going to games now for 2 years or more and when she first went she would invariably get out a phone after 20-30 mins. Now further down the line at age 12 she is generally engrossed in the games and understanding of tactics and the importance of the game and furthermore calls herself a City fan to her friends down here. If she does get her phone out it is to take videos and pics of the action (which is another debate!). So in my opinion my friend you should take your short-sited glasses of and just chill about the ticket situation - what will be will be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider-Head23 Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Am I missing something. I'm a ST holder so not worried personally but we have what about 13000 season ticket holders, not sure members but I'd say no more than 2,000 that's 15,000 surely 10,000 will go on general sale, yes there will be very high demand but surely if your not a ST/Member there's still a good chance of getting a ticket?

It’s questionable at least and Carabao’s involvement has made the whole thing look an abolsute farce from start to finish. Teams drawn twice, teams drawn home and away in the same round, draws in Beijing while the whole of England sleeps, and now the latest fiasco....
