Funny how their situation always improves in conjunction with the team though ? There is a reliable way just the minority don’t agree with it. And for this game as a standalone I genuinely don’t think the club could’ve been much fairer than they have been. I’ve already mentioned there is a an argument for 6 to be ahead of 5 or merged (if I was doing it) but overall it’s exactly how I thought it would pan out. Top end sport unfortunately today is too popular for many of the stadiums available.

And for the record I’ve been on both sides of the fence/turnstile. I remember going to every single home game when KK got us promoted getting into ground 2hrs before KO then come Leicester City (7-1) I was locked out for it when they played their final game and were presented with the trophy… running around each of the turnstiles of the full ground to see if any of them were letting in anybody still ?

Apart from last 14 month they’ve had an opportunity for 15 year approx ?

Ian I love you but your two takes today (this and the open ballot) are getting worse ? Someone who has ploughed thousands into season’s tickets for decades > watched on TV for decades. Every single time for any type of club. To say both equal is crazy ?

There’s loads of 4’s in virtually every low block. For price and height I’d suggest you start at 138 above the ambulance entrance. Any particular block you had in mind?

It sold out at 160. Then I got a call from a friend Friday 12:55 saying there were some returns going on sale 1pm! Jumped on and got another one. Just had a look before and it was still showing ADD and allowed me to put one in basket but couldn’t go further as had no one to assign it to with 155 points ?‍♂️

I was discussing this with some friends off here yesterday and I think you’d be wise to keep your groups as small as possible. I’d imagine you’ll be asked on price preference and again I’d keep this as broad as possible. Basically offer to help put the nets up if need be ?

Still tickets available for this. Surprised they’ve not dropped the points since last week from 155. Weird.

@AyeDubbleYoo Reading this and despite the lad having a bit of a reputation as a fabricator all things being equal I’d say the good news is you and your brother have a chance…

You paying me for this? ? Id say around 5-7k wouldn’t be far off.

Yes. I’ve just clicked on all the blocks and they are predominantly empty up above with 532-533 popular I’m guessing as good angle for us lifting the trophy ?? if the lift is in the North ? Lower bowl also plenty of availability but behind the goal clearly the most popular. If you want safe standing very few in 132-134 so best to head to 135 first.

Around 60 left nearer the pitch as you can see below…

I’ll post an update around 11pm as I wouldn’t expect much change from then until the morning. Anyone wanting screen grabs of specific blocks to see the seats I’ll post them if asked.

Not much change today…

I think the way P4&5 have to look at it is the criteria could’ve been slightly different and all the tickets could’ve easily gone to P1-3. There’s always going to be an argument either way. For example I think P6 should possibly be ahead of P5 or classed as a joint pot.

I wonder if it’s the luck of the draw each pot or if they are doing it this way so they can look further into your purchase history. EG The club is down to the last ticket and has two P6 fans for that one ticket. Names in a hat or sly look to see if one joined at takeover stage or if one has been a previous ST holder etc. Same for other pots P5&6 as you’d imagine it’s these 3 periods that will be the oversubscribed ones.

I read somewhere yesterday the main guy leading the investigation is an Arsenal member ?

Everyone needs to stop getting hung up about receiving an email as not need to access your Period if eligible. Just go into site usual way is fine logged on. However you should be checking your a/c and make sure club has email address for ticket purchase confirmation. Maybe they are finding it’s way into your Junk folder.

With cup final upon us I noticed this footage come of the Merseyside Cup Final 1986. Remember seeing it at the time live on TV and it being joked about and it has always stuck with me. Alway have been of the opinion that the fans would’ve played a small part in the disaster as this thing went on on all the time and still does to this day as recently as the Wembley Euro England v Italy final. The fact they never except even 1% of the blame I always feel goes against them amongst general opposing fanbases who are being fed the entirely blameless narrative which has continued at similar high profile finals involving them when similar incidents of ticketless barging into games at Istanbul and in particular Athens. The press were a disgrace and so were some of the police force on the day and even worse subsequently with their cover up for the mistakes they made. However there will always be some fans who I wonder if are able to sleep at night who turned up without tickets that fateful day…

It’s coming to the point where if you sack a manager you can only promote within or hire someone out of work. Would reduce the trigger happy nature of owners and prevent other clubs seasons getting derailed.

Lower tiers probably. The higher ones are actually quite scary ? I managed to get a cheap ticket for the Chelsea v Arsenal charity shield when down in London off a tout last minute chancing my luck. Was sat fairly high up but still a good view. The incline is quite severe and the barriers a lot lower than you’d think would be safe ? If we score I’m predicting casualties ?

Yeah no problem. That’s state of play as of a few mins ago. Blocks 238-252 were never on sale so only half a dozen blocks fully booked with the dark shading. Most paying the higher prices it seems.

Still lots of very good seats left. Not sure if those in later periods can already check but not purchase but If anyone wants me to have a pre nose close of play tonight and tomorrow night to give you the lay of the land for bigger groups let me know. Another thing to note was I was approximately 1200 in the queue this morning from 10am and was quoted 48mins wait time yet within a couple of mins it had dropped very quickly and I got in around 10:10am. It’s a very similar system to ours. Select area. Select seats. Basket. Assign warning if more than one seat being purchased. Assign. Purchase. So very familiar.

Anyone in Period 2?

Follow my advice I gave you earlier and hopefully you’ll be ok ?? How many devices you both got?
