Charlton v Sunderland - Semi-final - Wembley0

Don't do it to yourself, you know how it ends.
By the way, if Man City/Chelsea, Arsenal/Liverpool and Everton all make it through to the semis and qualify for Europe through their league position, I think it's possible that we get into the Europa League next season just by qualifying for semi-final after the comprehensive victory over Wednesday in round 5 and our nailbiting penalty shoot-out win of Fulham/Sheff U/Preston/Forest in the Quarters.3 -
Can I be the first to moan about the way the tickets have been allocated.5
-
Well you've just jinxed it.

Surely if we get past the Massives we'll get Wigan away as the only other northern team playing in white and blue stripes still in it?4

As our average attendance is lower then what our allocation at Wembley would be (35K ish?) I think most ppl who wanted to go would get a ticket.paulbaconsarnie said:Can I be the first to moan about the way the tickets have been allocated.

If we were to get to a Wembley Semi Final, at least we wouldn't disgrace ourselves with our own supporters fighting amongst themselves.1

Didn't they change that rule so losing finalists or semi-finalist no longer qualify and the space goes to the 5th or 6th place prem team?MrLargo said:Don't do it to yourself, you know how it ends.

Really? So not even the Cup runner-up gets any reward. Well that's ruined my day.Rothko said:

Did you go to Wembley in 98 Trev? Or are you lucky enough to be too young then?CAFCTrev said:Just imagine if we beat the massives then somehow blag our way past (most likely) a prem team in the quarters and end up in a semi final at Wembley. 30K Charlton fans at Wembley?

Just checked it. Can't get in if you're knocked out in the semis, but if you lose to a Champions League club in the final then you do qualify for Europe, so we're ok!
From Premier League website:
UEFA Europa League
There are three places in the UEFA Europa League available: the FA Cup winners will enter at the Group Stage; the fifth place team in the Barclays Premier League will enter at the Play-Off stage; and the Football League Cup winners will enter at the Q3 stage.
In the event the FA Cup winners are qualified for the UEFA Champions League the FA Cup runners-up will qualify, but in the place reserved for the lowest ranking Barclays Premier League representative. The place with direct access to the Group Stage will be given to the club that finishes in the highest position in the Barclays Premier League of the clubs qualifying for the UEFA Europa League.
English winners of the UEFA Europa League will enter at the Group Stage, gaining an extra domestic place only if they fail to qualify through other means for the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League. If the holders of the UEFA Europa League have already qualified for Europe, no extra domestic place will be gained.
Should the FA Cup winners, runners-up (if applicable) and the Football League Cup winners already have qualified for Europe, their place goes to the next best placed clubs in the Premier League.

Oops, recalculation. We won the 66th final and this is the 133rd. So double it and add one. The one after this will be the 267th.thai malaysia addick said:Charlton won the 67th FA Cup final. This year is the 134th. Charlton win the FA Cup every 67 years.

I was living in Frinton-on-sea in Essex back then, so all I knew about Charlton was in my Football League 96 Panini Sticker Album.Brendan_O_Connell said:

It is still wrong that the semis are played at Wembley. Should keep it for the final only imo.3

and this is more than likely!! .. twenty years is a long time .. however, will there still be a premier (as we know it) in 20 years time ? ... or a Eurosuper League and an English Division 1?CAFCTrev said:

Charlton win every other time me or my Dad see them at Wembley ('46, '47, '87, '98). So we're due a loss if I go again. Should I jinx the semi final this year? Or miss it and jinx the final?1

Been offered tickets over the last few years to go to (The new) Wembley, but always said No Thank You as I'm waiting to see CAFC there. Maybe.....just maybe......0

Oh dear, I've got carried away now.
5th round - could do but won't
6th round - can't do, but OK for a replay
Semi final - Can do
Final - can't do
Europa League et al - no thanks0 -
Charlton have alternated win/lose/win/lose at WembleyChizz said:Charlton win every other time me or my Dad see them at Wembley ('46, '47, '87, '98). So we're due a loss if I go again. Should I jinx the semi final this year? Or miss it and jinx the final?
