Yes I did - by agreeing to buy a season ticket for the following season.
Got one for the replay as well, although it cost me my job. But I was going to resign anyway.

Certainly did. I went to the Stoke match and then to the Final.
Best matchday ever. Although I'd have appreciated less rain.

Yes and for the replay having been on the beer all day Sunday went at 2pm to buy a ticket and saw the queue going all around the ground so went to the front and was stopped by Old Bill but the old secretary Ken saw me and told the OB to let me in as I was a known supporter so went in and bought 6.

At the time I was 3 parts p...ed and wanted my tickets so father in law drove me from Fering to the ground. I would have been well p...ed off I had been in the queue, but thats life.

I had a Stoke voucher and I am sure because I bought a season ticket for the following season I got another FA Cup Final ticket
