FA Cup Final Ticket Allocation

Have you ever seent he corporate section at football matches. Full of people who have not got a clue or much interest about football but they go because it is a day out with free food.
----------
only once in my life have i sat in a box and it was horrible, because it was a new experience and they bring you food and drink you almost lose focus in the match and by game end your thinking what the hell happened

I was the assistant catering director at Old trafford & the Etihad on match days a few years back and I was amazed at the people. So many would ask if they could just stay in the suites drinking and eating rather than go out into the stands to watch the game.

I used to get really angry and demanded they leave the suites to watch the games. It made me sick. All clubs have it now and Liverpool have just opened all their new suites and the same is happening their according to my mate who works there.

Wembley isn't even a great stadium tbh. It's nice and all, but when in there you feel somewhat detached from the game and atmosphere.

I've been in a box at the Emirates a couple of times from my old work. They pump out white noise so you cant hear the fans.Quite nice to be able to stroll in with no queuing and have beer delivered for and a pint waiting for you at half time though.

I am expecting to get a ticket through one of the tickets not allocated to clubs for the final. I have done a couple of times before as well and I can assure you, most fans in that section were at least as passionate as other areas of the ground. Against Hull I thought a bloke in front of me was going to start a fight after Hull scored because the disabled section behind us asked for people to sit down as they couldnt see.

The fact cup is for the fa family, not saying allocation is fair but it is supposed to reward all involved in football, right down to Sunday league teams and refs. There are allocations for those too. My old club chairman used to apply every year for a pair and often got them. My mates dad got one for him through the refs allocation for the 94 final.

It's been that way forever, can't see why this comes up every year, nothing has changed so it shouldn't be a surprise.

Any news on the selling arrangements would be nice though

The remaining FA cup tickets are a nice little earner for some of the officials at lower league clubs.

Not that I'm suggesting they might find their way into the hands of the touts or anything

It's true, nothing is perfect - but that is not an excuse for it to be absolute shiiit...

To be fair it's the main reason i got a season ticket
