The FA Cup fourth round thread

[Brampton Spireite]

Youve got 5700 tickets everyone who is a decent fan will have got one fuck anyone else that turns up once in a blue moon . And regarding the game against us you can have up to 5.5k easily enough for the fans what deserve tickets and easily enough anyway i would guess

you're actually wrong some very good fans aren't going fans that have been watching us for years. We have over 4000 ST holders most took the offer - putting tickets on sale at 2:30am and letting the rest sell out denying walk ups is a disaster.

i'm lucky to be going. Not a Season ticket holder but i managed to get a friend to sort me one who can't go. i've been going to watch chesterfield home and away for 27 years. And i'm very lucky to be going.

 

[SpireiteDan]

I haven't got a ticket, gutted.

Have a season ticket but others haven't so was waiting for them to go on general sale, turns out that was a big error.

 

[Alex_BCFC]

Not very excited about this.

City 1-3 West Ham

 

[F!RTHY]

6,000 sold in 3 hour - all to watch us get pummelled.

It should be a decent day out, nonetheless.

 

[Westbars_Spireite]

Bradford have to hope Chelsea play very badly indeed and then if their own side plays exceedingly well it may only be two or three.

I've also not got a ticket despite only missing 2 away games this season. Got 6 in the home end but trying my hardest not to have to use them. Fingers crossed - got a couple of leads after sticking it on twitter and facebook so hoping I am ok. If I hear of any spares i'll pop it on here for the couple who haven't got one lads.

Surely you must of expected them to sell out why would you not get one straight away

I'm not a ticket holder being exiled in Manchester and the club put out Friday afternoon General Sale would commence from 10.30am on Saturday morning online - saw this at work, knocked off Friday night and traveled home went for a few pints thought nothing of it - club had released a statement later that evening saying they were available from 2.30am (madness i know) and I didn't see this, woke up at half 7 to find they've sold out by 5am.

Partly my own fault but partly the club being an absolute shambles

 

[TomPNE94]

We are nailed on to draw with Sheff Utd and have to go to Bramall Lane AGAIN

 

[SpireiteDan]

But i bet you haven't had to play Scunthorpe 5 times this season (including 3 mid-week trips to Glandford Park).

That does sound shambolic from the club to be fair anyway hope tha gets one in end then

Correct also nailed on to finish 4th and 5th in the league

Yep. 3 visits in one season, I don't think I could cope with the excitement.

It's listening to Chris Turner that winds some people up. I'm not convinced he understands what the issue is with the way the club have sold some of the tickets.

It's a shame because Saturday is going to be a great day out whatever happens.

 

[blademan89]

At least sheffields a decent day out for boozing and our grounds pretty much in the city centre.

True....

You have Blackpool nearby when you come to us hahaha

Blackpools spot on in summer time dead this time of year though , straight to preston on saturday there for 10am meet up with pne mates for what will turn out to be another top session no doubt

Could be worse, it could be gillingham

 

[TomPNE94]

Could be worse, it could be gillingham

Probably about the same distance for us

 

[blademan89]

Probably about the same distance for us

Bristol to gillingham is about 90 miles further than preston to sheffield mate

 

[BCFC David]

Which way are you going? It's not even close to the same distance?

 

[City169]

Probably about the same distance for us

My point was that it's gillingham

 

[CFC91]

Sure most Chesterfield fans will join me when I say that I am buzzing for tomorrow. Nice early start and I can't wait - not expecting anything but will be a great day and to see thousands of Chesterfield fans around the ground probably will be great.

Club have identified 50 tickets sold to West Ham fans for the home end, tickets won't work if they try and use them, possibly more that have gone unnoticed

That's probably a lie from the club. I remember a similar statement from CFC this season for the visit of Sheff Utd; definitely probably bullshit, though your IT system will doubtlessly be better than ours.

The club were only selling home tickets to fans with previous purchase history, last we were told is that our IT system doenst check that so they have had a team manually checking and 50 have been identified, those tickets have now be resold to Bristol City fans and the West Ham fans were given until 5pm today to get a refund.

It could well be BS but i doubt it as there has been an article online about it and this has been posted on our forum by the fans liaison officer.

So Cambridge have a chance against Manchester United, but Bristol City were written off at home against West Ham United the second they beat Everton..

Phil Neville everyone.

Is that what he said? The guy does not have a clue.

I know a West Ham fan going in the home end..

Please be him. He's watched West Ham twice in his life, and he considers himself a 'big fan..'

Mourinho already announcing he is putting a weakened side out... by including a World Cup winner in the team. Could be a long afternoon.
