Great atmosphere Strawberry corner has gone up another level this season.

Only 6 yoof tickets left on website now, either club have relented and selling them at box office, or it’s pocket money day.

That’ll be houses nailed on.

Would love one of the CB’s Hope linked us with yesterday. Was interesting reading that they think Todibo has the talent, but they’re not sure about his mentality. But was great reading that they’ve made enquiries and are exploring signing all these top European CB’s.

Just read that, here’s hoping Boehly really has lost the plot and they’re fucked.

Can’t see Isak not starting today no matter what the merits of playing Wilson are. I also hope we don’t start both, as it just didn’t seem to work when they started together last season.

Also a sponsors dream as train passengers would pass it en masse every day heading into Central. If they went with a design like Mercedes’ Benz with a large window, they could frame a view of the bridges and river from inside the stadium. They could build something that would be unique and best in class on that site.

Rumoured to be the racecourse site they’ve chosen.

It’s potentially a spectacular location with the river and bridges. Would also be a catalyst for huge investment in that area of the city.

The whole situation around having 100 seats empty is unacceptable. The club have just this week been on local radio talking about the problem of demand outstripping supply, yet this situation exists, it just seems like rank bad management in the ticket office for someone not to flag this up. Members have paid 37 quid for the opportunity to buy a ticket and can’t get one due to either laziness or inflexibility on someone’s part at the club. Im quite sure if Staveley and Mehrdad were made aware of this they’d be less than happy, seems like some incompetence from the Ashley regime is still lingering in parts of the club. I’m also unsure why the club haven’t put any general sale on for this match, now I believe that was a PL requirement and appears to have gone out the window.

I fucking hate Chelsea but this is a great watch.

Thousands of members unable to buy a ticket yet tickets still available in level 7. As far as I’m aware there’s no PL obligation for NUFC to have these tickets age restricted. The enlarged family enclosure is a fall out of the Mike Ashley era, and is not fit for purpose in the current climate. The club know demand is off the scale, yet have done nothing about this potential situation all summer. It would be interesting to know if this situation has been raised with the club @Greg, as it’s unacceptable to have members unable to get tickets with potential empty seats in the ground.

You could get Kephren Thuram, Manu Kone and still have change left.

Shambolic by club when people are desperate for tickets. Nothing to stop them re-categorising these to adult tickets. Trust should be all over this incompetence. I think there’ll be quite a few empty seats on Saturday ticketing is a shambles.

For a 110 million, controversial but I’d consider it.

Not so sure I think we need both and they might try to get both hopefully.

It’s Hincapie apparently to play the role Burn plays.

Listening to Darren Eales I’m far less certain moving to a new stadium is off the menu. Even from talking about small things like the wrap around video screen at Mercedes Benz, compared to the tablet we currently have that half the stadium can’t see. My prediction is that this feasibility study will highlight so many restrictions, that when presented for fan consultation it’ll be weighted heavily in favour of a new stadium being the only viable option.

Was a lot of talk of us exploiting the South American market but something has clearly held us back. Possibly waiting for PIF to purchase a 2nd club to loan these players to, or more likely our cash has been ear marked for 1st team ready players and there’s not enough cash to speculate on players yet.

My biggest bug bear when people are desperate for a ticket, just fucking sell them to anyone the family enclosure’s a fucking ridiculous size anyway in the current ticket climate.

Would you usually have passed your ticket on to a pal prior to digital tickets, or would your seat usually have gone empty if you couldn’t make it ? Just curious if this re-sale is something people are now glad to have if they can’t make it, or just having to resort to it because you can’t just pass your ticket on.

Taken over from Casey as my go to source these days.

So is the lack of being able to choose a seat down to Silverstone, seen it mentioned this was the system he’s parachuted in from his time at Arsenal, but as with all these things is that actually correct does anyone know. It would be interesting if Arsenal fans weren’t able to choose their own seat how that went down and is it still the case. Got to say it’s a strange arrangement and just smacks of the easiest option at short notice.

Have a feeling a certain trip to the Mercedes Benz stadium this summer will influence thinking going forward on stadium front.
