What would happen to a personal assistant/carer if the person they were taking couldn't make It?

How irresponsible. You'll cause nothing but havoc LOL. Joking of course. Im sure it's only a recommendation so as everyone doesn't turn up 10 mins before KO as others have said.

Without a doubt the most arrogant set of WUMs in the country. Spend more time mocking the opposition than singing about their own team. Horrible set of cunts tbh.

Aye, the league cup is usually a chance for kids to get to their 1st ever game but will definitely be less availability after all this.

Says pending on my credit card. I feel for you with the ticket situation btw. I still maintain a PRIORITY eligibility criteria should mean tickets are distributed to those with priority then roll over down the categories until they're gone.

Booked this as a contingency plan for 1 or both of us not getting tickets.

https://www.rmt.org.uk/news/rmt-rejects-rail-industry-offers/ Reading that I'm hoping although they've rejected the latest offer they are still talking and haven't announced any more strikes for the time being. How do others interpret things? He said, definitely seeking reassurance.

Did Wycombe last season on a ground hop mission. Was impressed by the trains from London (Marylebone). Chiltern railways. Took about an hour I think and trains were dead comfortable even in standard areas. Can Remember passing Wembley but can't remember if we stopped near it. Hopefully trains will be on after reading previous posts. Today will be key I suppose because of the 14 days strike notice needed. Don't think they would announce one tomorrow/Sunday.

Log in. Click on tickets and I think the top heading has a enter ballot button to hit.

Separate because each one has a higher priority eligibility? If they bypass people with a higher priority to allow others in lower pots the chance to buy then the priority aspect is being ignored surely. Should be able to apply for that 3rd ticket tomorrow though as you say.

The e mail re the ballot says the ballot will be drawn randomly but we've only got their word of course.

Not convinced there is tbh. I don't see them depriving someone with higher eligibility criteria to hold some back.

Hypothetical pots, subject to availability?

It's possible I suppose but would be surprised if they lumped people from 4 different categories into the same ballot. As you say, the date for being told whether successful or not is the same but the way I understand it is there'll be a ballot for the P4 applicants then should tickets be left afterwards it'll go to a further ballot for P5 and so on.

When you say you have to wait for friends in lower ranked pots, I assume that's only if you want to sit together? Can apply individually as soon as your turn comes round otherwise?

I have seen £2.10 postage fee mentioned so maybe that suggests paper tickets.

I can see why people didn't want season tickets/gave up theirs pre takeover because we had become a pointless club, one that merely existed. Personally I briefly gave up mine after 29 years then took a gamble by getting another pre-takeover. I agree with you though and have said the same myself. Season tickets and associated benefits were indeed readily available.

Aye, true. Just quite surprised that there seems to be less emphasis on pts and more on cup games attended.

I'm amazed to think that being in pot 4 (zero pts now. Lost my old stash when I temporarily gave it up) gives me more chance than someone with 100s of points who hasn't been to any of the cup ties., if I understand it correctly of course.

I saw that advert too. As well as having a charter train on, they are saying they are also using LNER trains and worryingly it states police will not allow alcohol on board trains or coaches. Oh well, might do me a favour cos will have had a good 10 hours in London. Charter train leaves at 8 and gets there at 2 both ways. Didn't know the Flying Scotsman had came out of retirement.

Might be different with Chelsea but was there in 98 and 99 v Arsenal then Man U and was fine. Unless I was too pissed to remember it clearly.

1st train down on the day, one of the later trains back (20.47) ticket or no ticket. Geordies here, Geordies there, Geordies every f***king where!

London for me personally. Maybe start a poll on here. Toon or London?

The Globe?

Not completely a football podcast but one I stumbled across and enjoyed while looking on the BBC football site was Gabby Logans' desert island discs. Spoke very affectionately about her time in Newcastle working at Metro radio and how she was almost in tears as she left for London for a new job with the Tyne bridge and SJP behind her. Chose the local hero song at that point and said anyone who knows Newcastle will tell you NUFC means everything to that city. Spoke about escaping the 1985 Bradford fire. Her dad Terry Yorath was working for Bradford at the time. Also spoke about losing her brother when he was only 15.
