Hi Rory. Do you have enough royalty points to get a ticket to the semi final?

Hi Rory,

Tell us more about yourself.

Is this something you do every season?
If not, why start this season?
Who do you normally support?
Did you throw the flare at the Bradford fans?

The answer to this could sway my opinion on whether or not someone should get Rory a ticket for the semi

First and only attempt at this,just popped up to a local game with my son and decided to follow the winners from there!
This will go down well Brighton and Hove Albion!

I have not taken a firework to a football match since 1978 palace away(done a bit of growing up since)

What was it like at Stamford Bridge, I presume you got a ticket in the "sold out" home end, was it difficult keeping a straight face?

The chelsea lads at half time said they would sort be out for the next round as the ft score would be 5-1! No offer of help at ft :D
