Wonder if he’d give the £2m back? ?

But if it’s a loan he will get no benefit of ECL with us.

Slightly off topic but the St James’ Park metro station has always seemed like a massive waste of time when you consider the proximity of the other three stations in the centre.

Gallagher if told by Potter he’s not in his plans would be gutted as he’s a massive Chelsea fan. Wouldn’t be surprised if he chose to return to Palace on loan and see how things develop at Chelsea this year. Berge not in the Sheffield United squad today. So maybe there’s something in the interest he’s been receiving today. Never heard of Sangare.

Italy as always a shining light for progressive attitudes ?

Have Chelsea bought him yet…

Every time I’ve seen him play he looks excellent.

If that’s the case then those with a ST but no cup purchase history will be at threat along with IMO members only regardless of cup purchase history. Probably unnecessary but they probably go on sale to STs with 2-3/4 cup game history first then 1-3/4. That’s a guess mind as I don’t know how many STs skipped Palace. Wether they take Tranmere into any account is debatable.

I mean it’s probably better than that but doesn’t look as good as the new pitches in Dunston and whoever has laid it forgot to prep and level the foundations ?

Yep. 2G ?

Would’ve went to Tribunal which can be a bit of a lottery at times though more than likely the fee would’ve been a bit lower but on the other hand we’ve more RB cover for Trippier this season so very little difference. Id guess the biggest loss for us is the sell on %. Not sure that could’ve been inserted via a tribunal?

Because the new bread of fans expected these welcome videos and the clubs SM profile get the benefits too.

Not disagreeing with your overall point but it just adds to my mild frustration that we don’t swap our wingers during the game and not always have them playing inverted.

I did caveat that out of the 99% a proportion will be passing the ticket on for various reasons if you re-read.

Crossing and ball carrying I think after seeing very little of him.

I’d assume 99% will purchase with a small proportion passing on maybe due to old age etc. 1% unable to attend without any family or friend network to pass on.

Moyes had signed Coufal who’s done well for them and I think was runner up player of the year for them season before last. Look at Targett with us. These things can happen. Doesn’t diminish the ability a player potentially has not being picked when they seen as junior squad players especially. Just need a lucky break sometimes and run in the team. Guessing when your team is struggling a managers default is pick experience rightly or wrongly.

I don’t think you’d need to worry. For the size of allocation I don’t think they will go down the loyalty route until they’ve exhausted demand from anyone with a ST who’s been to a cup game first. I think the ones on the shakiest ground who will possibly feel a little put out is anyone with a membership only that’s been to all the home cup games. I’ve a feeling that won’t hold as much sway as a ST with a single cup ticket purchase record. I want to stress this is just my opinion. I don’t have any inside information. Things would be a lot clearer if we had an exact number of ST holders versus allocation. As I’m guessing Liverpools allocation was 33K after their corporate grab not before it but again I could be wrong.

Playing devils advocate… why?

You’ll be 100% fine. You are covered for all eventualities assuming we get there and are given 33K allocation.

Yet I see that Tweet and see absolutely nothing wrong with it. Especially when you partner it up with his other Tweet about Maddison. Both are perfectly fair, balanced takes on the situation and make sense. Anyway each to their own ?

Exactly. Edwards led with the Gordon story and was dismissed because not only do people on here have a massive agenda against Edwards but they were not wanting us to sign Gordon so they rubbished the report further. I’ve accepted many on here are beyond sensible reasoning ?

Guess it’s how detailed a welcome video etc is going to be.
