The FA Cup Semi Final - Crystal Palace

[LeeS]

Stan Collymore was at Palace before he went to Forest.

No he wasn’t. He was at Southend.

And before then?

Twas the Palace.

I’ll add Grabban

Why is there an hour long wait to get into the ticket section of the website?  They’ve not gone on sale today have they?

[Clampy]

It's probably a load of impatient fans who are looking to see when the tickets are available instead of waiting for the official announcement on the website

[yammers]

Marvellous.  I’ll book my Newcastle tickets later then!

Probably, modern football fans aren't renowned for their patience.

I can remember him signing for Palace as it was featured on Central News, a local non-league player (Stafford Rangers) getting a big move.

I think it's because the pre-sale for that awful prick Chris Brown has started.

Guessing we'll be the Saturday semi final due to possibility of Champions League the following Tuesday/Wednesday?

From a selfish point of view I'd love it to be the Sunday so it wouldn't clash with Halesowens trip to Stamford

[Nev]

It should be announced today, amongst the rumours I've heard is that the club have requested the earliest possible KO on the Sat and that the Big Sleep Out scheduled for Friday 25th has been postponed.......

[Somniloquism]

Well the latter has a 404 page on the website now.
