Man City offering subsidised coach travel to Wembley as fans face expensive season run-in

Manchester City bosses are offering half-price coach travel for fans for FA Cup semi-final against Brighton at Wembley next month.

The Blues take on the Seagulls at the national stadium next week, with Pep's men looking to make it to their first FA Cup final in eight years.

City have been allocated 33,000 tickets for the clash against Chris Hughton's side on April 6, which will kick off at 5.30pm.

There are a limited number of trains returning to Manchester after the game.

The match is in the midst of a run of nine games in four weeks, including four trips to London with away games against Fulham, Tottenham and Crystal Palace either side of the big Wembley clash, which will hit fan loyal match-going fans hard in the pocket.

And the club, chasing an unprecedented quadruple, said today: "To assist fans with the upcoming run of fixtures, the Club will be providing subsidised round-trip coach travel for their FA Cup Semi-Final against Brighton and Hove Albion.

Fans with a ticket can book onto a Thomas Cook coach, normally priced at £40, for just £20, or £10 for under-18s and over-65s.

The buses will pick up fans up from the Etihad, returning there after the game.

It is the club's fourth trip to Wembley this season having already won the Community Shield back in August, and the League Cup in February beating Chelsea on both occasions as well as the league match with Spurs.
