... me to reply to the invitation I've just received from the Connect Club to apply for one ticket for the semi, on their behalf?

I already have mine, but if anyone wants to take the chance of this one, you'll have to let me know by tomorrow night latest. Please state preferred price 15, 20, ... , 40.

I jumped the gun and posted a cheque off last week, after the 30,000 tickets went out, stating that I was on the waiting list TWICE... I wonder if they'll return my blank cheque? I'll keep you posted.

Dr Bill,

If you don't mind then I wouldn't mind the ticket if you can get it? there's a drink or 10 in it for ya regardless of whether it comes off or not :))

Go for a 40quid one, it's for our young un :)

What exactly is the "Connect Club"? I often recieve NUFC mailshots as I'm in this club. How did I join?

Just been on the phone to the club and apparently ALL the remaining semi tickets are going to Connect Club members. Finally got hold of mine - Block 206, row 11 -near anybody on here?? BTW anybody know if there's a map of Wembley Studium online so I can get a rough idea of where I'll be. Ticket also says 'pillar in view' so it'll be just like sitting at the back of the Leazes! ;-)

Try the Wembley site at Wembley.co.uk - there is a map on there as I was looking at it last week.

So, do you have to PAY to become a connect club member? Can you just join up and have preferance over those on the waiting list, many of whom have been waiting for 6 years for a season ticket?

Bill, RIK will take any ticket that you can get your hands on. ANY PRICE. after readings Stephs posting, looks like waiting listers have been overlooked once again.

Wendy, Thanks. Unfortunately the site gave me a dozen Java errors and then crashed! Is anybody clever enough to put the map on here?

nufc.com has a map, Steph.

Got the map - thanks. Looks like I'm in the top tier somewhere on the corner!

Ok folks, ticket applied for, lets see if it works.

As some of you replied on here and some by email, I'll have to worry about a fair allocation system if it does turn up a ticket, possibly involving Softie's deadly pseudo-random number generator. But, sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, or whatever it was the book said.
