yeah but we're talking about the total number of people who have an account/purchase history with the club. That will surely be well above 34,000

I remember going to a thing years ago at Highfield Road where Richardson claimed they had 350K active customers on their database
Doubt its that high but suspect there's far more people who turn up to one or two games a season than people are accounting for on here

Firstly, which morning. Secondly, it‘s the one coming back that’s the problem to gauge the right time.Just get the morning train, gives you more time soak up the atmosphere.
I simply do not understand why it takes so long to make a decision and announce It. The FA don’t give a toss about the average supporter. All exacerbated by KO likely to be late afternoon.

Th club would be bonkers not to ensure season ticket holders get at least one ticket each.
It took about 10 days for the FA to announce dates last year, everyone needs to relax. The club will announce it as soon as they know, so why are people continually wasting their time pestering them?

its incredible that it can take the FA that long to work out which game is on the Saturday and which game is on the Sunday.
WTF do they do for 10 days? The TV contract must state who has first choice so it's a call to them and they say which game they want and when and then that's job done.
The BBC will select which game they want but I think you’ll find the police, local authorities and transport all have input before it is finalised.

Has it come as a surprise to them that there is a couple of big games on at Wembley that weekend?
No account and lots of queuing, let’s go back to those halcyon days.
Please let's fill the time with inane tasks and chat over the internet at how good it's become!

Being as Saturday and Sunday are off peak my understanding is. If you travel as a group you can catch any train belonging to West Midland railway on cheaper ticket or Avanti on dearer ones.Dont quote me as I haven't travelled from there but Coventry I think you just join the queue and get crammed on the trains when it gets busy.Someone who has travelled from there for our games at Wembley will come on and put you wise.
I know when we have come back we've got on the first available train.
As for KO time would think it will be after 5.
Which morning? Only the FA can help you with that.

That image seems all wrong. Pre-decimal prices (i.e. 60s or earlier) but there was surely no such thing as the "East Stand" then. That was the Kop end wasn't it?
The prices are believable though (12.5p and 2.5p in today's units).

I suggest booking advance singles for best prices possible for BOTH days.
You can change what will be unused tickets to a future date. Assuming you will go to London again in future.
I did this from Manchester to ensure get seat reservation as Manchester trains will be packed.
I think you have a similar journey.

Presumably they already knew when a little event like the London Marathon was taking place. That being the case they should have either:-
(a) already planned for it
(b) scheduled the semi finals on some other weekend.
The only thing that could have come as a surprise to the authorities is that Coventry City are one of the semi-finalists.

I remember being given a coin and going through the separate turnstile. 6 Pence sounds about right.
Spion Kop would have been the full name but the more I think about it I do not think it was officially known as that.
Perhaps someone with a better memory can comment.

Pretty sure it was called the Spion Kop, even on the signs outside. Could be wrong of course, but I'd be amazed if it was called the East Stand before the much later redevelopment.

I go on their buses to most away games, decent and not bad value. You get breakfast and a pint in the price as well.
