I've always understood about the tickets being distributed throughout the country, and like you, it's been a constant bane to me as a football supporter. Queuing for hours in the pouring rain, with no guarantee of obtaining a ticket is rediculous. Remember 1988 ? Liverpool v Wimbledon, that was a farce. I forget how many tickets Wimbledon supporters got, but they had at least 5 times their average gate, and Liverpool got significantly less than their average gate. I think the FA may indeed have upped the share to other parties, which again, is out of order.

I think most supporters can live with 2 tickets per non-participating clubs. The figures being quoted are ludicrous though.
