I am told that the designers have been given directive to try and make the capacity 61061

So unbelievable i'm sure its true- a stadium built on (very old) history

Away scheme in very early days , must be i reckon 20 years ago was open to travel club members but certainly since Emirates has only been to ST holders. Membership was about 1500 at peak as i understand and through natural wastage now sits around 1000-1100.It is very hard to get added and taking on ...

I think its so funny that our beloved Herd slaughters the away scheme concept on this thread …

….and then on the Comm Shield thread says that he will buy some tickets just to get the credits ! so denying some poor 12 year old kid and his dad the chance to go to the game ….

The replay is set for Tuesday April 7th ( after Liverpool ) because of Monaco and then international break.

With the semi then only 11 days away it will potentially cause the club problems for the dreaded ballot for the semi

Deffo not a fucktard DB10. Truth hurts most but problem is that all fans groups higher level personnel have an element of "whats in it for me syndrome" ( and i'm not just limiting that to us at AFC). In respect of the 2 shareholders we have to look at the positive- KSE has his 67 % but R &...

Man Utd created the biggest loudest strongest protest and marketing machine resulting in the green and yellow scarf and the formation of FC United but what impact has any of it really had on the Glazers ? Perhaps if someone forms Highbury FC then all those that refuse to step inside the Emirates, fu...

So tomorrow must be the AST's last stand as a major voice piece if they are closing down their Fanshare scheme and selling their 116 shares then the 'ownership representation influence ' piece will be somewhat diluted so they might as well have a good old go if get the chance as unlikely to get the ...

The good news .....

Away scheme membership down to 1020 I am told for this season

The bad news.....

You also have to consider Diamond and Box holders who have the option to apply which even if ends up 100 tickets in total it's still 10% of the allocation

It's been on site since 6.45 am saying everyone that applied has got a ticket-apply from 2pm today

For all those throwing random numbers in the air re Wembley. its a 90,000 stadium but 17,000 are sold as Club Wembley for which this game is an inclusive event so there are only ever 73,000 available .Even if you just strip out 3,000 then the maximum available to both clubs is 35,000 each and assumi...

the club gave everyone chance to group 10 together which gave opportunity to double up even as a 4 and get 2 . the 2nd ballot mentioned is happening via the standby group already announced- what will happen is that the tickets not taken up by sunday 10 am (presume the pairs offered singles ) will th...

Some of there crap on here about the away scheme including from the mighty Herd amazes me and certain aspects of it are to me being overlooked with all throwing their toys out the pram. The away scheme has been in place so long I can't remember when it started (and yes i have been a member since yea...

you have to log in to the cup final registration bit from site , not your membership area

promise you million%

we got 6 out of 10 applied which reckon is about right

ballot results have been posted on site

george knows

I am led to believe there were 5500 eligible in the 1st category of applicants (numbers supplied by afc staff member when this was announced for semis ). If you assume 5000 purchased for starters. Boxholders and Diamond were all guaranteed 1 each so thats another 2000 gone Strip out sponsors, partne...
