Just had the box office on - 2 return tickets. Genuinely could cry. They are still working through the last remaining set, no caller ID, so watch out if you’ve missed out even at this late stage.

Which block? I’m in B.

I’ve not that had the email - East Stand - is it targeted to individuals in certain areas / blocks?

Particularly frustrating / ill thought out day for the club to send out advance notice of season direct debits too.

Two colleagues in P4 got there’s at 2.56 and 3.00. So perhaps still hope.

I’ve got a couple of friends that have received Period 6 emails. No one I know in Period 4 appears to have been successful.

Same. Gutted.

I’ve successfully applied for two, no issues.

11k in the queue - appreciative of duplicate browses, devices etc.

For those in period 4, is there an optimal ticket category to pick tomorrow to increase the chances of success?

So that effectively confirms for the doubters that 1-3 are guaranteed?

I might be very wrong - and maybe worthy of a poll on here to see where people are sat, but empirically 4 will be amongst the largest cohorts. I’d expect there to be good availability in 4. But can’t see it going beyond that.

One unintended consequence of this is that in the future it’ll be significantly harder to get home cup tickets.

Period 4 in reality is likely to include the majority of season ticket holders no? What isn’t clear is if it can stop and sell out then or whether they’ll hold back tickets.

I quite value gainful employment thank you very much!

Very late response here - didn’t know the answer at the time of the initial post. But yes - what’s been described in the press is correct c. £20m p.a. Just the shirt. It’s not a stadium naming / training ground / broader package as had been suggested elsewhere.

Yes. Slightly perplexed to be honest. Part of me is wondering whether they are looking to invite tentative interest to be able to evidence demand if it needs to go in front of the Premier League for associated party transactions.

Trying to keep this vague, but company I’m associated with has been approached by an intermediary (not the club) to discuss front of shirt sponsorship. Media reports that’s it been agreed would appear to be wide of the mark.

Taking a personal loan secured against the clubs future revenue? Would hope not. It is hard to fathom the rationale really, obviously cash flow, but can’t see why PIF couldn’t have provided a facility.

£300m p.a. hopefully.

Lots of reports on Twitter as to some quite substantive increases (£200-300 in some cases). Assume it’s those coming off the long term deals - yet to check my own.

Impressive.

Proper scattergun approach to targets, should have had a DoF in place. Worrying.
