Not hearing about anyone getting theirs yet so for the time being I'm staying optimistic

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

does seem strange the semi final was so easy to get a ticket for, despite us only having 3,000 more allocation than the final.
Just that 1 day turnaround, and people not wanting the travel/expense for a "mere" semi final then.

Very. I'm 8/10 and got £30 ticket which was fantastic value.
Hearing 10/10 only, shame we only got 28k, what's the point of having a national stadium without enough seats.
Plenty of seats there, but how they can justify giving 34k, ie a fair amount more than to each team, to assorted corporates, hangers on and other shady types I don't know.
Surely 40,000 to each team (potential, as a lot of teams won't need so many), and 10k surplus would be plenty.
What it does guarantee, having so many tickets outside the fans hands, is that you get tonnes of these dodgy ticket sites, that seem to have loads available, for 400,500, £600 etc
Put in an application for 6 together thinking we would be guaranteed with 10/10 home cup games on all but now I'm a little worried - all or nothing! With hindsight, I should have done pairs.
Exec results are out so I'm assuming they're doing the rest now
Get checking your account history online/phone gentlemen. Mine is showing successful in my 1st choice pick of £45 
Successful, managed to get 2 tickets in price band 2!
To be fair, I have attended 10/10 cup games and 90% of aways this season, i'd be fuming if I got chubbed.

4 Cat A, absolutely no panic whatsoever.
Everyone I know with 10 credits has got one and anyone who hasnt will surely get sorted by second ballot anyway
Got the 6 in our second category preference which was Cat B - will take that!
Anyone with 10 credits know they have been unsuccessful yet? I'm waiting impatiently for news...
Me and a mate got our tickets in our first choice category. Very relieved! Really hope nobody with 10 credits will be missing out.
5/5 with 10 credits in the £65 section.
Anyone who got the tickets and wants to sell one or two?
I've seen someone from a FB group been unsuccessful with 10/10 - very unlucky that. Call up and use the automated system to check your ballot results. It will either say a result where you will find out your fate or if there is nothing, then keep waiting impatiently!
Hopefully anyone unsuccessful with 10/10 gets sorted in the second ballot or with late returns.
Just heard the ballot is in the final stage now doing the £45 tickets...
Waiting nervously...
Got 4/4 with 10 credits in Category B. Delighted!
I'm on 9/10 and seems I have no chance of getting any. Fair play that there are people with 10/10 but I bet there are thousands applying who didn't even bother going to the Semi-Final which really pisses me off as it was a much more important game than missing a nothing League Cup game like I did.
My desire to renew has now gone down to 10% and if they keep that fool on it will be zero.

You should count yourself lucky that you got to the semi - if it wasnt for the replay and subsequent short time to apply/sort logistics then there wouldnt have been so many tickets going to those with lower credits
As far as I am concerned those who attend the so called 'nothing' games are the most loyal and most deserving, so I dont really see where you are coming from with that at all
There are a few people on 9/10 who are getting tickets now. Check your account history on the ticketing page
Read my post again. I was stating that there are a fair amount of people going to the final who didn't bother going/applying to the semi-final. This is evident by the massive amount of application in comparison. It's those I have a problem with, not everyone who has attended or tried to attend every game. Thanks.

Ye but you are suggesting that going to the semi is more worthy than going to a league cup game and I disagree with that completely.
Is that definitely the case? I'm hearing of people with 10 who have missed out...
Why is that then? What logic is there that someone who has been to every game in a competition is less entitled to someone who didn't even bother apply to go to the semi-final just because they went to a game in another competition? Ridiculous logic, sorry.
People with league cup / europa credits might not have necessarily gone to the game.
I know of 2 or 3 who got a ticket and they are 9/10
They absolute won't have. I know of some people who haven't been to a single home game this season (or away before I get jumped on) and yet they are going to the final just because they farm out their tickets every week. It's ridiculous, but that's capitalism for you.
Just spoken to ticket office, and she categorically said only 10/10 were entered in ballot and even some of those will / have missed out. She did mention there will be another ballot on 11th May.
Just passing on what I was told.
He's just disagreeing with your comment that you deserve to go more than someone with 10 credits who didn't go to the semi-final... because going to the semi should be worth more than going to a 'nothing league cup game'.
I tend to agree with him. If anything, the people who didn't opt out and went to the less fancied cup games against Sheffield United, Midgetland etc. where demand was lower are the most deserving I'd say. I know there will be plenty of fans with the credits who didn't go to games and sold on their tickets... but how can you police that? You just have to take it at face value and say people who paid for tickets went to games. In fairness, people who paid for the low demand games would have struggled to shift the tickets at FV I reckon.
This is exactly what I am pissed off about in the first place, I agree with the majority of the rest. I don't see how you can't see why I am annoyed.
Very surprised, goes against everything that has been mentioned / relayed to the applicants - fair play.
Hoping there will be some returns, doubt it, but you have to hope!
I can understand why you are annoyed. I'd probably be feeling equally annoyed if I were you.
I just don't think that in your position of having 9 credits, you should be ahead of someone in the queue who actually went to all 10. If you were both on 10 and the other didn't go to the semi-final and you did... in my opinion, you should be given priority in a fair system.
I can understand feeling frustrated as we all know lots of people buy tickets and don't go to the games but sell them on... but without any way of determining exactly who went to which games, there's not much that can be done about that. Some people just play the system unfortunately.
If I'm not mistaken, when you opt out of one or more home cup game(s), you forfeit your right to even apply for away/neutral games so you were pretty lucky to even get a ticket for the semi - the short turnaround time helped you out there.
It's the only reason I (and everyone else in it, surely?) stay in the ACS fully and pay for every home cup game whether I can make it or not. The ACS is scummy in itself but we all should know what we signed up for.
Not sure I believe the short turnaround time as an excuse. There were hundreds of empty seats for the semi, so the funny thing is people, bought them and couldn't be arsed to go. Different story for the final though no doubt!
You don't think less people could apply in a 24 hour window compared to a one week one? They even had to slightly extend the semi one as not everyone could get in.
Why would people buy semi tickets and not go for the sake of it? Bearing in mind that most people knew attending the semi wouldn't have an effect on the final applications and also the semi tickets were going for a fair bit on the black market!
Finally, in my opinion, the semi was a more desirable game to go to anyway with it being the biggest 2 clubs left in the competition. Due to uni, I will miss both games at Wembley but I would have gone to the semi if I had the choice of one, even before I knew about the last min Martial winner!
No idea why there were loads of empty seats, but there were. Won't be any for the Final though.
Still not heard. Anyone in a similar boat? 10 credits & went for more expensive seats to up the chances ...
2/2 happy days. I was 10/10 so as expecting tickets
