Joe Anderson Writes To FA About The Semi-Final

Lord Mayor candidate and Toffeeman Joe Anderson has demanded to know why more Wembley tickets are not available for 'genuine fans'.

Liverpool and Everton will receive around 31,000 tickets each for the FA Cup semi-final  but Cllr Anderson wants to know why there are not more and why the kick-off is 12.30pm. The shite actually get slightly more because of the end they are in.

He has written to FA chairman David Bernstein seeking answers.

Joe said: 'I am writing to express my huge disappointment in the FA for continuing to put other people and organisations before genuine fans.....'

He also said the 12.30pm kick-off will mean some fans have to set off at 5am.

An FA jobsworth said: 'We were not able to deliver a safe journey to and from Liverpool with anything other than a 12.30pm kick-off due to railway engineering works.'

'A route back on the Saturday was even more important given the Hillsborough memorial on Sunday.'

Where have the other near 30,000 tickets gone? Surely Club Wembley has not got them all?

Macca 8, if I remember right he also got in the way of the Kirkby stadium. Seems he's good at standing in the way of things but not very good at helping us out. Wouldn't ask him to empty my bin. Oh hang on............:o)

Anderson is one of the politicians who stood in the way of the Kings Dock stadium. Fuck him, wouldn't trust him with anything, like all pols he's only after publicity. He won't get my vote.

The whole point in the semi's being at Wembley is to gain back the money spent on building it. So why give 28,000 or so away to charities. Load of shite. COYB.

The FA are a gang of ex public school boy gimps and suits who don't care about anybody except themselves. T***s the lot of them.

There's only one applicable phrase - the FA couldn't run a piss up in a brewery. It's time to move the FA out of London Corruption City, no wonder everyone in the country hates them.

What are Network Rail doing "engineering works" on a Sat when there is a huge sporting event on? Will they be closing down the Tube for the Olympics? Muppets. I think Club Wembly is 10,000, so where's the rest going and remember the other semi, that's close to 40,000 tkts not going to true fans!!!!

If the FA are so concerned about travel arrangements as they are "only able to offer a safe journey back with a 12:30 kick off", then why not have the semi-final at Old Trafford or Ethihad where the kick off time would not be as much of an issue! We would still get a similar allocation as the 'Club Wembley' seat holders would not be bothered about the game then.

IT'S A DISGRACE. YET AGAIN WE ARE BEING TREATED LIKE 2ND CLASS CITIZENS. WHAT A HOLLOW RESPONSE FROM THE FA

The date for the Semi Finals will have been in the books for the past 12 months. Why are they not working witht he likes of the transport authorities on the details such as rail engineering works? I can understand their thoughts on the Hillsborough memorial, but if they were THAT bothered, they would have the Semi Finals at Old Trafford or similar. However, the thing they are actually bothered about is money, and serving the fat cats who get in there for free. I am seriously losing faith in the FA, after putting up with them for so long. The real question isn't the times, its the location.

The same story every year. The remaining tickets are distributed among the rest of "the football family." This includes local county FAs and charities. I seem to remember that we had a similar allocation in 09, but we got only about 24,000 for the final
