[Archived] F.a. Cup Semi Finals

[dring1]

You might struggle to park in Bury Town Centre even on a Sunday. Radcliffe Metrolink is attached to a huge free car park.

i am from radcliffe and you have no trouble getting to old trafford if you get an altringham tram its coming out and queing at old trafford or you can use the eccles line and get back at exchange stop

[only2garners]

Paul, Old Trafford station is on the Bury - Altricham line. Going either way, I'd guess it'll take at least 20 mins queueing before you can get on a tram. Exchange Quay is on the Piccadilly - Eccles line. I've never used that after the game but I would think for trams into Manc it won't be much different than Old Trafford station. So only2garners suggestion looks good to me.

There's certainly no queue when going towards Eccles from Exchange Quay after the game - I've done it a few times now. There doesn't seem to be a problem going into Manchester from there either. To make sure of getting on quickly you could walk a bit further up to Salford Quays station and come back.

we waited till yesterday,so we could get tickets together,season and non-season ticket holders,we were allowed 6 tickets per season ticket,and we got the cheapest

Cost £1.30 return adults and 70p (I think) for concessions.

dont be silly

you dont pay

Another route I've seen used is train to Deansgate station and opposite is the tram station straight to the Redsox Stadium.

It gets ridiculous as yiou get close to a match. Ive often jumped in a cap from there though.

ive emailed northern rail again after saturdays problems at darwen train station

[rover_groo]

Yes miles out! Plus that's rubbish about the £45 ones as we bought a good few of them days ago. There will be 20000 plus i'm sure of that.

Yeah, I can imagine that you are very correct with your statement Mancs.

The £25 band tickets are selling well and I believe that all concessions have been sold out. However, the £45 have been in a relative high demand. I should think that we should achieve 25,000 fans for the semi.

What else do the fans want? Two years ago it was a 12:00pm kick-off in Cardiff. Now we on a 4:00pm kick-off about 40 mile away from the venue. Suppose their waiting for Rovers to announce 25% reduction in them about 5 days before the game!!! Do the club some justice and sell out our allocation and give the respect to JW et all.

Onwards and Upwards!

Is this a magic cap? How many people can fit in it?

[Ozz]

I went to Ewood TO on Sunday around 1.30pm, there was not one person queuing. I wanted to sit in the botton part of the upper tier East Stand, but ended up getting front block of the North Stand

Hope there is a little more leg room than Saturdays seats.

[Hasta]

Probably to pay for the new wembley stadium and Steve McLarens wage / impending payoff.

They give a discount on ticket prices to members.

I've trawled through here for any comment about the canal barge from The Mark Addy pub adjacent to Salford Crescent directly to OT, but couldn't find the details I was after. Can anyone help?

I've been in touch to try to book, but apparently Paul from Leyland has made a private reservation. Anyone know Paul? And anyone know if Paul from Leyland might be interested in filling any spaces?

i think we should try and encourage a sea of flags, and blue and white scarfs, balloons, what do people think on this?

[AggyBlue]

We got three ticket application forms through the post this morning, in three seperate letters.

They've gone straight in the bin, I bought our tickets last Thursday

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Our applications have arrived as well, but we have also got our tickets already

Me too. Have they not seen "The Day After Tomorrow"?

[Modi]

Club has already stated that the letters might be arriving to people who've already sorted tickets but have encouraged those who receive them to pass them onto friends, relatives, neighbours etc

Its a good idea, i'd love to see Old Trafford as a sea of white and blue

Balloons would be an ace idea, try and give one to every fan then fill em full of Helium and release them a KO time, would eba great scene

Aren't we playing in red?

Just found out that as yet the lower tier of the £55 tickets aren't on sale. Mine is right there for seats when it is. (Vertigo) So we aren't too close to selling out as yet!
