It's very quiet on here. Is everybody asleep or still at the pub celebrating getting their semi-final tickets??!!

I'm not a season ticket holder but I'd like a semi ticket. Now then consider this: 34,000 tickets is a canny few; the game is only a semi; two games in London is very expensive (semi & final of course); the game's on a Sunday. What's my chances do you think?

Ticket chances? ...to: dodjie spellyr

I believe the clubs said yesterday that 30,000 season ticket holders had applied for tickets. I actually applied for three, but only got one. So, assuming they have only issued one ticket to each applicant, there should be 4,000 left.

What no-one ever knows is how many they cream off for the management, staff and players, their marras, and for corporate hospitality packages. I'll bet that conservatively this will account for at least another 1,000 - ie, ALL the best seats, for sure - maybe more.

So, I reckon there will be something like 2-3,000 going on general sale, sometime. This sounds a lot, but the demand will be enormous. Good luck, mate.

Hi Steph,

I think everyone got writers cramp on the nostalgia thread yesterday!

Sorry - I went to the pub with Softie to celebrate Lionel's impending departure. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible - unless they continue selling at #1 a pint.

Agree Steph, very quiet, been involved in a emergency response exercise today, the players tend to take them far too seriously, I can not get exited by it all, just a game and a chance for a outside consultant to make a few bob . At the end of the day same old hit rears its head, communications, Im becoming cynical in my later years We are needing something contreversial(sp) to happen to set the board alight but basically we all appear to be nice people who get along and are not in the biz to score points off each other. Its early days yet and Communicata deserves a long wake, its good to see new names appearing and still some of the old ones still to ship in. Anyway keep the faith, Buff
