If we do make it through...

How many Arsenal fans will be sat in the 'Reading' end at Wembley?

I predict 5000.

I'm considering inviting my brother so I can out him to the fans around us and watch him get beaten up as punishment for supporting Arsenal in a casual, plastic armchair way, despite having been to some Reading matches.

Usual Reading luck. Drawn against the best team left. If we had got Villa or Blackburn we had a chance of making the final. Of course we still have to overcome Bradford. Hopefully we can get some points tonight as Watford away is tough.

TBF it's not the same fans complaining about both. That would be weird.

This will all be down to Liverpool should they get through. If the game clashes with the Hillsborough anniversary, they'll have the say which day they play.

Just as a guide...last year's Wigan v Arsenal game ticket split was 40,500 for Arsenal and 22,000 for Wigan. Hull v Sheff U was 31,900 each. So not only will we get thumped (if we even beat Bradford) there is the chance some fans will miss out.

What about previously. Wigan couldn't sell 30, 000 so it's no surprise they got less.

If we had to play them, I'd of rather done it in the final rather than the Semi's

Hopefully they will look at the numbers that we have taken to our previous Wembley and Millennium visits.

32000 each according to this

http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-fans-want-more-wembley-tickets-for-fa-cup-semifinal-10100100.html

Also says that Wigan accepted a lower alloc of 2000 so Arsenal got the extras

(Obviously, like a lot of us, I still expect us to lose to Bradford so all this is a little premature!)

No way we'll get a smaller allocation, based on previous big game attendances (it'll be full of plastics, but still ;) )

I'm confident we would sell out our allocation at Wembley. So I'd feel a bit annoyed if Arsenal were given more than us ... If we get through that is

As others have said, the only reason the allocations were so different for the Wigan Arsenal Semi was because Wigan accepted they wouldn't sell the lot so whatever they didn't take was available for Arsenal. I'm sure we'd get our fair share if by some miracle we win tonight.
