Well done Crystal Palace fans for selling out our ticket allocation at Wembley.

Fingers crossed my 0.01% chance of getting a ticket pays off now.

I did not expect them to sell out that quickly. Hopefully if my chance above does not come off, They release some extra seats from unsold Watford Section.

Watford didn't even sell out their home tie against Leicester, and that wasn't down to buffer zones...


In other news, the Gus Bus is falling off the road in seems at Brighton... Down to Poyet wanting to leave/disagreeing with budgets and trying to get a non-compensation clause in a new contract... Be fair to Bloom, he told Poyet where to go with that...

Funny though...
 
Palace did not sell out against Brighton, so lets be careful before we start throwing stones in the Green House :)

I am sure Watford will get close to selling out, I just hope all the Club Wembley and Corporate Tickets are used. I have noticed some are selling for up to £257 on "Re-Sellers" sites.

Most of the missing attendance was down to the buffer zone though, rather than the odd mass of empty seats that were at Vicarage Road...

Let alone the police tictacs towards the Fanatics which delayed their entry (and the overall you must have ID and booking history stuff)...
 
I don't mind the Police trying to keep everyone safe, but causing anyone to miss the start of the match is unacceptable.

Hopefully it wont have to be repeated next season.

They weren't doing it to keep people safe, they did it because the authorities hate football fans. It's not like if they hadn't done those pathetic "safety measures" at the game it would've turned into a full blown riot. Making fans miss kick off is pathetic enough, but the fact they forced every away fan to bring ID is awful. It's almost like living in a dystopia. :mad:
 
We've gone back to the 80s.

They're treating football fans as scum again.

But at least smoke bombs are back. Silver lining.
 
Stoke City are to investigate after a pig's head was reported to have been left in the locker of striker Kenwyne Jones at the club's training ground.
Jones was said to have been furious and manager Tony Pulis will discuss the incident with his players on Saturday.

This is brilliant the only thing stoke are good for
 
I'm all for team mates playing jokes on each other, but a pigs head is just bloody weird! :p

Wouldn't say it's insensitive though Blaze, unless Jones is an Muslim, in which case it's bang out of order. But AFAIK he isn't, so I just class it as whoever did it being a bit stupid.

Just found out his wife is a muslim not an overly good prank :/
 
To be fair, for a good cause, but the wire wool look I am not sure about?

Yeovil have beaten Brentford 2-1 in the League 1 play-off final at Wembley, meaning that Yeovil will be playing in the Championship next season for the first time in their history. They've got the smallest ground at 9,565 maximum capacity, but it's going to be a major boost for them.
 
Red would have been a better colour surely?

Hmm, not so sure about this. I liked Umbro's kits better to be perfectly honest.
