Without wanting to bring negativity into what should be an uplifting thread and occasion, the first team should be told their attendance is mandatory.

That’s obvious mate, everyone will have their kids with them, United will want them in early get them spending on the food and drinks at the kiosk, what they don’t make on ticket sales they will make on food sales

They'll be pushing the sweets and chocolate like Heisenberg tomorrow night, I've spent £3 on tickets, and I reckon I'll be stung for about £50 inside the stadium with my kids wanting drinks/food/sweets, etc.

The first team don't even show up to their own games, never mind our youth teams'.

I think its best no one from the first team squad comes anywhere near OT for this game. :lol:

Don't want the camera to pan to anyone of those lazy egomaniac farts in the stadium tomorrow night.

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"

Nah. Maguire might do a John Terry full kit wanker impression if they win.

The only reason the first team should go is so they can see what 'effort' and 'teamwork' mean in practice.

I say feck em. It's all about the youth team tomorrow, deserved.

Got that too, seemed a bit OTT given they cope with full houses when most people don't turn up until last 30.

Already booked to eat by Lowry at 6, so 7ish for me. I'm looking forward to this more than most of the first teams games this season.

They should be made the clean the boots of the youth players after training in the lead up to this game, and after the match. It's not like they're doing feck all for the next 2 weeks anyway

The youth team reaching the cup final is a welcome distraction with all the negativity surrounding the club right now. Do us proud tonight lads.

I wonder if the seniors bother to show their faces tonight. You never know, they might actually learn what it means to wear the shirt.

63k is an impressive turnout and it shows our fans genuinely care about the future of the club.

Its a shame this is not on tv.
Am I imagining that the later stages, or maybe just the final, was shown on an ITV channel a while back? I’m pretty sure I remember watching it one year when Chelsea won.

Strangely excited for this.

Heard a few say this is our best youth batch in some years and it's nice to have a silver lining and a bit of hope in such a dark season. Hope they win and some are given a chance.

This is great and a real positive for the season. Come on lads. The last team to win it produced a few good ones for the first team, let’s hope the same happens.

Looking forward to watching.

I barely follow the youth team these days for reasons I cannot explain.

Who are the standouts from the current crop?

Just looking on the website now, and having opened up both the NW and NE quads yesterday it looks like apart from about 30 odd seats it’s completely sold out, a fantastic achievement
