SteV

There’ll be absolute murders if and when they do. They probably do have to something though. Although the point requirement has come down a fair bit with the threat of checks, it still never goes below 5, bar maybe pre-season games. So for kids trying to get on the points ladder it’s an incredibly slow process.

Nah, no replays in any rounds any more.

Yeah. I guess the club might have something in place that shows them how many times a ST has been downloaded (if that’s possible?) so if it’s like ten times there’s questions getting asked.

Yeah. I’ve got my mates on my phone and obviously he’s got it on his. I’ll caveat it by saying we’re classed as a *strong relationship* on the ticket portal, so it may be it’s only possible in that instance, as opposed to just being linked on the F&F list.

You kinda can’t for a ST, other than the fact a ST can be downloaded to more than one device, so if you and your mate had ST’s you could have both tickets on your phone and just scan in whoever if he wasn’t going. Obviously if you both weren’t going you’d have to transfer properly.

You can get an away transfer from a ST holder with the requisite points for an away game. However, given they’re limited to two a season, and it can often be hard enough to find someone with the points, that’s not always an easy task. But if you find yourself over here and looking, asking on here might throw something up for you.

Lost their last away game 7-0

One other thing to come out of this is that there’s absolutely no point in transferring a cup ticket through the official process. Do it unofficially and you’re better off.

Probably isn’t the time to say this really, but even if you can’t get a ticket for the final, the being in the stadium for that Arsenal semi will always be something you can look back on fondly.

First three categories will be fine IMO.

You’re right, but it’s absolute bollocks if they do. They’ve currently got our next two PL games priced up and you can get a double on us to win both, but surely back to back games are more related than two cups months apart.

I find that difficult to believe in all honesty. Would mean we’d probably have to have 35/36k ST holders. Seems high to me? As you say, I suspect that ~32k allocation is a fair bit less once hospitality, sponsors and players take their cut. At which point we then probably have more people in the cup scheme than tickets available.

Members been shafted on initial inspection.

The double on 365

So with that being said, would you be prepared to extend Wilson, if the money saved on replacing him got the level of quality RW we need?

In an ideal world perhaps. But not sure there’s many about that adequately do both. Take Gordon for example, played up front / centrally in the U21 Euro’s (albeit maybe a slightly different system), yet not many actually rate him playing centrally.

Would we mind compromising on getting a lesser quality RW and a Wilson replacement, as opposed to, let’s say our No.1 choice RW and keeping Wilson? (bit simplistic, but you know what I mean)

Would your opinion change if he stayed fit for the rest of the season?

I would have thought so.

Be surprised if they complicate things to that length tbh. As I say, I reckon they want to make the cup scheme as attractive as possible, so if it appears that you sign up for it and you get a final ticket, they probably won’t mind that assumption.

Fair point. Although I’d reckon what the club are gonna be cautious of is devaluing transferring properly, rather than just forwarding the email with the link to download the ticket. If it turns out your chances of getting a final ticket are negatively impacted by doing things properly, everyone will just resort to doing the unofficial way (if they don’t already).

Yee kna

Ah, I see. Unless he does go the Arsenal formation, I can only see Kraft/Botman for Burn and Willock for Joelinton from the ‘usual’ team. Although I suppose there’s more a choice between Tino and Trippier now. And also assuming Gordon will be fine.

They were last time, but we didn’t have the membership scheme as is now. Tbf, ticketing in general was a shambles coming out the Ashley era, and whilst it’s far from perfect now, they at least have some degree of process in place.

I think if you’re a ST holder not in the cup scheme the best you can hope for is being equal priority to members for the final. Would be surprised if they’re ahead. It’s in the club’s interest to make signing up for cup schemes as attractive as possible going forward…
