LeftWinger Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Intersting fact. Henry has scored 30 goals for Arsenal this season. 24 have them have been scored at Highbury- only 6 at other grounds. I'm afraid I'll be an armchair supporter on Saturday- can't afford to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftWinger Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Sorry I can't make it Travelling to Cardiff is too expensive!! And I have to save some money to get there for the final Be lucky to get tickets for the final if you don't go to the semi. Been talking to a United fan and he reckons we'd get 17,000 tickets if we got to the final. Assuming we do take 16,000 (approx) on Saturday, that leaves the rest of us scraping the pennies together (and fighting for) the last 1,000 or so tickets.

Oklahoma Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Well, a man can dream, right? For me, planning the travel will be the biggest problem. And the money too, since I'm going to Italy at the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftWinger Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I might be wrong about the 17,000 tickets- so dont hold me to that. I was told though by a guy who has been with United that each club gets 17k or so for the final- with the rest going to corporate hospitality. Makes me sick.

whatistechhouse Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 The FA take the biggest allocation then sponsors so 17,000 is probably about right!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Castell Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 4-0 Rovers. Henry will be off form, Reyes and Vieria will be sent off, and Wenger will assault Hughes with his white stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Blue Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) Interesting to see the LET reverting to the use of roman numerals. In the meantime, Dutch forward Dirk Kuyt is the latest striker to be linked with a summer move to Rovers. The 24-year-old Feyenoord star, who is the top scorer in the Dutch League this season with xx goals, is thought to be one of the players on Hughes' short-list of five.

robbojohnno Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 4-0 Rovers Bit optimistic lol, but nothing wrong with dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Castell Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) True, but I'm normally less accurate than Mark lawrenson, so I am optimistic in every prediction. As I said, I'm usually wrong, so I'll say that it will be a lot closer in reality . Edited April 12, 2005 by Billy Castell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyRover Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I'm really looking forward to this game and I believe that we have a great chance to get to the final. Defensively we are very strong and we will need to be again, now that Henry, Pires and Bergkamp are all back. When we last played Arsenal, we were undone by a moment of class, from an understrength team, that should have scored more. But on Saturday, we can't afford to let Arsenal in, because we'll be punished. Players like Mokoena, Reid and Flitcroft are going to have stamp their authority on the game and not let Arsenal dectate play. We will get crucified if that happens. And, if any chances come our we must take them. This is one of the biggest games that the club has been in for some time and we can't freeze. Rovers to win 2-1.

nellybc Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I can confirm with Greggyk that there are no seats left for the trains from Paddington to Cardiff - I was booked on the 08:45 & the to$$ers cancelled that & then sold out my seats from under me, so I went garrity at them & managed somehow to get two first class seats for a tenner - the cheeky sods tried to tell me that my tickets were flexible & I could travel at any time - hows that work then when they confirmed that if you don't have a reserved seat at paddington then you will not be allowed on the train. - Got my tickets through the post yesterday only to find my return journey doesn't have seats booked on it either - time to get on the phone again ! I didn't even get that Jimbo - must not have shouted loud enough. Same problem - "flexible" tickets even though I booked on a specific train. Decided to drive. But anyone thinking of catching the train at Reading or elsewhere had better check. Can you imagine being stood on the platform at 9.00, can't get on the train and no other way of getting there? After 45 years waiting I don't think I'd be very pleased. Safer to drive. Or maybe bike - cut through traffic, eh Jimbo? well well well my brother and his 2 mates turned up at the train station this afternoon and were told when the train stops at reading, " TO WADE ON" - well being 3 keen lads this seems ok to them, only problem is gonna be a train full of gooners and 3 students with blue & white on. Cant believe the almighty cock up this is going to be, they have all purchased tickets that say - SEAT NOT RESERVED - after being told that no seats are reserved, so its first come, first served, but apparently if you have a ticket, you can get on. I await the story of the platform trauma with interest. Im dreading the phone going sat am, and brother ringing to say they are stuck at reading.
