    FA Cup Final: Wigan v Man City

    Enjoying the pre-match, can't help but think Wigan being given as much chance of lifting the trophy as Hibs have in the SCF. Are we the equivalent to Wigan and Celtic to Man City ?

    The number of empty seats is pretty poor. Can Wembley debentures not be sold to fans?

    ITV England. 853 on Virgin or 973 (I think) on SKY.

    Joke that this game is being played today and at this time.

    Hardly. Wigan have not beaten City since 2005 and have not even scored a goal against them since 2008.

    Hibs have beaten Celtic this season and drawn 2-2 away with them.

    It's not exactly anything new for the fans to be entirely ignored in favour of TV etc., but to stage a national cup final at a time that means fans can't get home the same day is pretty astonishing.

    The empty seats belong to those currently eating prawn cocktail sandwiches in hospitality.

    Behind the tunnel, especially the middle tier. Not thousand but plenty patches of red.

    That's the debenture area though so maybe they couldn't sell to fans, sure City could have sold plenty more.

    Good to see 3 Scottish lads starting an FA cup final. Or 2 I should say with McCarthy representing RoI.

    Been a while I'd imagine since there was so many?

    An FA cup final at 5.15 is a shambles, however still nowhere near as bad as our final being on a Sunday!!!

    Man City are very poor at the moment - Wigan look more up for it and have been the better team up till now...

    It's a town of less than a hundred thousand folk, where rugby league is the main sport, and the timing of the game means that they can't get a train home the same day.

    I wouldn't say 21,000-odd is poor.

    Another great chance for McManaman... City have been shocking defensively.
