With sincere thanks to ourworldcup.co.uk (our award winning sister/brother site ), we have started a petition regarding Cup Final Tickets . “If you care about the distribution of Cup Final tickets to real fans and if you would like to see a fairer allocation and an open breakdown of exactly where the other ‘missing’ 40,000′ FA Cup Final tickets go, please join is with your support. If we can be told both clubs get 25,000 each , is it not fair to expect a little more detail on where the rest end up? We do not object to the sponsors and all the other clubs in the Football League who participate in the competition having ‘a few freebies’ , but if we are to repay other ‘grass roots’ sectors of the football community/family for their sterling efforts, why must it always be at the this particularly high profile match? Why not give them tickets fro the half empty FA Vase or FA Trophy or England friendlies?
We therefore politely demand changes next year and a fairer allocation. To make a difference , whoever you support , make your mark .” Crispin Thomas- Editor THE FOOTBAL POETS
Please sign this petition if you would like to protest to FA about many fans and followers not being able to get tickets other than through Ebay and touts. Crispin :- (

Hi Denys,
Yes Richard Williams you’re a brilliant wordsmith, my friend. When I first saw your football poetry I thought it was the superb Guardian sports and music writer. I once had the honour of sitting next to Richard Williams while at the Independent on the sports desk. He writes about music and sport with immense knowledge and authority. I’ve read a couple of Richard’s books recently. Great writer rather like you Richard Williams the Pompey fan. Congratulations on promotion.

Hi Joe
Shouldn’t your title read your poem Farewell Europe England to everyone exccept Aston Villa ?
I know you mention them in your poem , but I do feel sorry for Villa re the national press .
Largely ignored. the hype was was all about Man City & Arsenal with a bit of a nod to the Hammers..but hardly a mention of Villa..
So well done to them

Hi Crispin. Chris Sutton on the radio has gone for a Chelsea v Coventry final. As we know anything can happen in the Cup, and I reckon we can go to the final.
We’re still in with a chance of the play offs too, so lots to go for.

Hey Kev
Let the masses drool over their odds on City v Unted Final, but who knows how pressure can hit.
Cov and Chels will be rightly labelled as having no chance..but hey …stranger things have happened..
so Chelsea v Coventry…that’s the Final for us!
Best
