Sir Alex Ferguson has expressed his surprise at learning
Manchester United were issued fewer tickets than Watford for
Saturday's FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park. United, who boast an
average home attendance four times greater than that of their
opponents, were handed 200 less tickets than
Watford.
Watford have not managed to sell all of their 17,800 tickets,
meaning 1500 seats will remain empty due to segregation
issues.
"I cannot understand it," said Ferguson. "There is something wrong
with the game when we get 76,000 fans every week and get fewer
tickets than Watford. "It is not Watford's fault, that problem lies
elsewhere, but I am surprised at the situation.
