Shame there is no replay and we can't have them back here

I'm not sure we'll see replays in the cup ever again now.

there are replays from the 5th round onwards

Not since 2019. The 5th round is now midweek and as a consequence replays from that round on have been binned.

Forest just put the Arse out lol.

the commentator for the hammers game lied to me then bastard lol.

i see the sob stories are starting on twitter about those probably not in line to get a ticket to the game first because they are not season ticket holders.

If there is going to be 6000 tickets on sale i dont think there will be much off an issue for many buying tickets to the game if they want as not all season ticket holders will go to the game and its one per member so no multiple buys either.

Anyone have an idea what the Argo allocation maybe - 5K?

i imagine it will start off at 3000 and then rise to 5000-6000 over the time when they are snapped up fast, as there is no danger of us not selling out that away end out.

Chesterfield had about 6000 at Stamford Bridge

Tbh Tickets should go to ST holders first, then those who been to the away cup matches , then those who've actually been to games since the liverpool game.

but we know it won't work like that

For FA Cup games the whole shed is allocated to away fan Chelsea fans that sit in the shed are relocated to the east stad
Lucky enough to have 5 Chelsea season ticket holders in the family and there’s no limit how many they can buy ticket wise be no problem tickets wise ..that’s only if I can’t get 4 in the shed with our lot …first time No season ticket for donkeys years and we get a plum draw just my luck

Plymouth Argyle are set to receive an allocation of around 6,000 tickets for their glamour FA Cup fourth round tie away to European champions Chelsea.

The Pilgrims will play the eight-times winners of the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge on a date to be arranged between Friday, February 4 and Monday, February 7.

Away clubs in the FA Cup are entitled to a ticket allocation of 15 per cent of the home team's stadium capacity, which in the case of Chelsea is around 40,000.


Argyle will lose £9,000 to pay for VAR for the game

Two years ago it cost

Both Rochdale and Oxford have played at St James Park this season and according to the football finance expert, didn’t realise before this season’s competition, that they would be charged for the use of VAR.

It turns out that every one of these FA Cup games where VAR is used, sees a charge of £9,251 + VAT made by PGMOL.

That VAR money is deducted from the gate receipts amongst other expense, before the money left over is shared 45% for each club and 10% into the central pot to help fund the prize money.

So in effect, clubs such as Rochdale and Oxford (as well as Newcastle) have lost out on almost £5,000 each due to VAR, when they played at St James Park.

Yeh, I might dig out me half-in-half scarf and go to this one. Good opportunity to visit a few friends a have a pint or 10 in some of my jaunts around there.

Fag packet maths

Average ticket price £25 (Premium seats are wickedly expensive at Chelsea)

40,000 x £25 is £1 million with 45% to Argyle
On top TV fees
On top (probably lol) 4th round loser prize money

Probably a £750,000 pay day give or take

Who has added that Avatar ?? I certainly didn't albeit I'm certainly on Pasoti

Wonder if Camara will be back to possibly play

I hope he is, welcome to the forum.

whatever happens during the match even if chelsea rest alot of their key players due to the world club cup shit the club is walking away with a big pay day win or loose and if by some miracle the game is on tv they will get a hefty bonus on top of that.
