I read that. The bloke from Blackburn complained that they're just a small town, with a small catchment area, that there's not very much money anyway and implied that most of their fans thought they'd lose anyway.
Money and catchment area I can understand but when has thinking your team would lose ever stopped fans from going to games?
[cite]Posted By: Ketman[/cite]Loads on Mancs & Scousers were on Talksport yesterday slagging Chelsea fans off calling them a 'Small club' cos they could not shift their tickets.
true. they're only the 4th biggest team in london, west ham have got a better support than them.
To be fair tho. Chelsea fans probably expect to get to the Final so are saving their money for that plus money for the champs league semis and final etc etc... so they are probably calculating they will get through this semi and go for the others.
christ imagine our fans having to shell out all that!!! you'd never hear the end of it - we have to be nannied to actually attend a game.
Aye Curb it, and if the choice is to go to Old Trafford and the spend on travel, or the Champions League Semi, Wembley for the final, and a possible trip to Athens, a game against Blackburn don't appeal

Depends who the teams are. Plus it will be a new ground for supporters of at least 2 teams. If we got there we'd sell 40k.[/quote]
Most teams will struggle to sell 40,000 for a Wembley semi final, no chance of Blackburn doing it for example.
I would expect us to sell it as we're a London club, with a ground 45 minutes away on the tube, but not to many other then London/South east sides would

Most of our fans live in deepest Kent which would add more minutes to your estimated journey time to Wembley.

What the ell is happening to the technology on this site...or is it me????
Anyway, my heart bleeds for those Chelsea fans having to make such decision as to what final they should attend.......It must of been the same kind of decision they had to make before they were bank rolled on whether to visit Derby County or Sunderland as they didnt turn up then!

It doesnt help that all of the concession tickets are placed in the cheapest area of the ground.
If for arguments sake there are 5,000 cheap tickets and they all get snapped up first then all children/OAP's have to pay full whack (same as adults) regardless.

Nice thinking FA
Even from Bexley you have to allow 2 hours to get there
In some ways this is good news. Maybe the FA will get the message: ticket prices are too high.
