I feel dreadfully sorry for the lad as there is no doubt that he would love to play in an FA Cup semi final at Wembley and he would have been hoping that we drew anyone other than Chelsea so that he could play

Better to miss a semi than the final.

The FA will sell tickets direct to Chelsea fans and keep the profit.

1 Because they don't want one of the "show" games without a full stadium.
2 They are desperate for the additional income.

All this can he/cant he play.. well I say he shouldn't play against his parent club.

Imagine the scene..and this is one of many possibilities;
We take it to Penalties. Conor for whatever reason blazes his wide/over the bar/Tamely at the keeper. fingers will be pointed and accusations of match fixing will be levelled regardless of his intentions. not fair on the player and too much of a risk for the FA and the bookies !!

Think the FA need to act quickly on this as sale of club will probably drag on

We could offer to sell them to Chelsea fans if they agree to let CG play?

Top idea !

I agree, in all sense he shouldn’t play. He can’t win whatever he does. And if his head isn’t totally right his performance may drop which could actually weaken us.

Well I hope they find a way of getting the fans tickets . Whatever people think of where the money came from to build the club into trophey winners they are still just fans supporting their team . That they have been living a lie for the last 20 years is for them to work out .

Do we have a date and time yet? I bet our game is on Easter Sunday with no or limited public transport. Can't have the poor northerners inconvenienced can we?

As there are no trains from Liverpool and Manchester all weekend, I think they are inconvenienced. Outrageous the games are at Easter and tbf the other semi final should be up north

Agreed. Ridiculous for 80k northern types to have to travel to London on Easter Sunday, or even Saturday....

If the Government are also involved then could be awhile waiting to find out what going on with dates, venue, tickets etc. Piss up in a brewery

Don't know what sort of percentage the FA normally keep from ticket sales at Semi finals, but as someone said they haven't said anything about donating to Ukraine, so self interest says they are probably looking to fill the coffers and make up the shortfall, with one of England's upcoming fixtures behind closed doors due to fans behaviour v Italy

That's also why the FA do not want to move the other semi final.
