Arsenal get different treatment at Wembley !

[Worksopblade1]

Wembley state that seats must be sold in strict order,block wise. Also we don't have designated areas to create atmosphere.

Appears Arsenal have managed to sort out a way of helping at their semi !

Would've been good to have had the same.

Always expect Arsenal to Cheat, its wot they do .............

 

[leedsblade1982]

I genuinely don't think we need a singing section. Be that at the lane or Wembley! Sad state of affairs that such a huge club like Arsenal need to go to this extent.

 

[Russ]

They waint have owt to sing abaht in 'final...

 

[kozluk]

They waint have owt to sing abaht in 'final...

with the possible exception of "your getting sacked in the morning"

Think it's a little cringeworthy personally. Why do people need a dedicated area to make noise?

To be fair we've got a dedicated are to make noise in for our match against Hull.

It's called "London".

 

[Blade56]

We have a designated area for our like minded fans, it's called the West end of Wembleeeeee

Because it's Arsenal and they're the 'Prawn Sandwich Brigade' writ large.

Also, expect them to claim they've sold out their entire allocation in minutes - they've been lying about attendances at The Emirates for years. Last Tuesday, on Radio 5 Live for the game v. Swansea, the commentator mentioned 'masses of banks of empty red seats'. The published crowd? Just under the near-mandatory 60k. There were probably around 40k there. Yes, some may not be able to make it, some ST holders may have thought 'Swansea? Fuck that!', but we're talking mass manipulation of figures here. Imagine in the emergency services, stewards, catering etc. gear up for 60k and there's only 2/3rds of that...

 

[Kendal]

Ahh, but if you notice, like Hull they're not selling the £60 seats. Too many corporates fat arses to please. You can understand it though. When you watch highlights, there's hardly a whisper from the 60k crowds even when they score. Put it this way, I reckon 30k Blades will make more noise than their players are used to. ;-)

'Stakeholders' will be well aware of the anticipated crowds for these games.
The number of people actually passing through the turnstiles for each match is officially recorded and passed to the Police etc.

The figures are freely available via a freedom of information request if someone is bothered enough to go out of their way to actually request one.

 

[Sothall_Blade]

How can they justify booking fees of £2 per ticket and £2.40 per booking?
Fleecing the fans, pure and simple. Blades aren't doing that.

 

[gavtheblade]

We`ll be the loudest happiest bunch down that neck of the woods over that weekend,thats guarenteed.~

 

[grafikhaus]

...or maybe Arsenal agree with the muppet on 'Wednesday Heaven' last night. He made great play of congratulating all the local teams - Rovram, Chessie, Baaarnsley - even United!

He congratulated us on getting so far in the Cup even though 'it's a greatly devalued tournament with most Premier and Championship teams preferring success in their divisions.'

Jealous. Bitter. Cunt.

 

[yuley82]

I think it's very sad that a supposedly big team needs to designate an area to 'create an atmosphere'.. Useless set of fans if you ask me, who if they hadn't paid so much for a season ticket would probably be now supporting Liverpool or city!!

 

[Pinchy]

I'm in the designated area (132). I'll make sure it's a singing section, don't worry!

 

[Northyorksblade]

It is true though, that at Wembley, the fans are spread over such a large area, that several different songs start at the same time, or the same song, but not at the same time! What we need is a conductor standing at the front coordinating us all. Morgs anyone?

 

[Kenilworth]

Block 133 for me and Ken Jnr so we will be vocalising with you there Pinchers

 

[sheffielder]

If we score at Wembley the roof is coming off. Can you imagine how loud shoreham boys we are here will be. It's going to make the Seattle Seasquawks look quiet. Prepare for an earth movement London.

 

[Esablade]

...it wasn't called 'the library' for nowt...Emirates is even worse for atmosphere in my experience (although that was only the 6-0 drubbing by their kids in't league cup?) ..looks nice mind and the 'facilities are marvellous darling..'

UTB!

 

[davidpinder]

138 is the place to be Ken trust me

 

[Worksopblade1]

Agreed except most av commented on the volume levels at our previous visits and this would help a little. Also those wanting to go in those areas would be guaranteed a top atmosphere in their area too.

 

[South_Stand]

132 for me. Sing up Shoreham!

 

[Pinchy]

132 for me. Sing up Shoreham!

Well that's at least nine making a noise South [I'm in a group of 8]!

 

[Rusty view]

550 for me....expect a delayed response.

 

[stannyblade]

532 for me

Rightly or wrongly I imagine this is because arsenal are pretty much guaranteed to sell out! even with 44k tickets...

 

[Ivanhoe]

Block 552 for four of us noisy sods (If given the opportunity too). Not a bad view either,

I just hope it was Shearer and not Savage who sat in my seat..

 

[Northyorksblade]

You and me could start it then

 

[s8bladelee]

Block 314 for me.
Arsenal have been given more tickets, club to make an announcement on Monday.
