Have the F A dropped a b*******ck with the fa cup?

All those empty seats(at both ends) was it the prices, was it the timing, your thoughts.

    cost and the price is too high. get real. Should be £25 - £45 per ticket. Then a family off four would only have to send £100. if there were seats left over they should have dropped the price. And of course travelling all the way to London. The national stadium should have been built in Birmingham.

    so do not blame the fans. I would have loved to go and watch the games but for my family the cost would have been to high.

    The football world needs to get real with pricing for tickets, and a lot of supporters are just getting ripped off.

    It was completely devalued because it was played in the evening and not at the end of the season. It should be the highlight of the season, a great spectacle and one where the teams involved have nothing else to play for or worry about.

    Wigan didn't play their full team because of tuesday's game I believe; perhaps they should play the same side then as well.

    Wigan always have a small crowd and the FA is sadly nothing compared to the Prem or CL nowdays, tickets started at 45 quid aswell. Having said that 86,000 tickets were still sold. I tought they did well to sell that many....

    timing wise they had no choice because of the play offs and the champions league final. luckily the wigan win brought a bit of the old magic of the fa cup back.

    With the fixture congestion the F.A. had it when it was. But the cup should not be devalued and it should have been the only match of the day and at the traditional time of 3.00 pm.

    It was mainly the Wigan end if you noticed. the Man City end was nearly full up. Still, didn't stop the place from Exploding. "WAAAAAAAAATSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!">"AugeroooooooooooooooooOOOOOO!"
