I got asked my shirt size at the time.
I'm assuming the name they use is the one on your ST to stop any nonsense

Thanks both - despite the fact I’m a fully grown adult my account is still linked to my Dads as it has been for the last 20 years. He completely missed the link (twice!), so I got him to forward the email to me and it’s clearly there!

Cheers. Hopefully it will differentiate between season tickets as opposed to the account that purchased them, as mine is linked to a few.

I presume they will send it in the next few weeks. We are away on the 12th and then the following week our game is on Sky anyway (Friday night), so not sure if iFollow will be available for that. I guess it will be sorted for our first Saturday home game.

When you’ve gone through the shirt buying process it shows you which shirt is assigned to which season ticket. It won’t make any difference apart from where they’re delivered to if they are incorrectly assigned. In other words, worse case scenario is you have to swap shirts with the other members of your network, the shirts are all identical (apart from the size obv).

It (ifollow) is supposed to be available to members v QPR (and other SKY covered home games), as would disadvantage those who didn't already have Sky (me!). I've definitely read this somewhere.

Of course, yeah. That makes sense.

Does anyone know if this is available yet? Apologies if been mentioned, been a busy week!
You wonder how the club will justify the 3500 cap on attendances. I can't see how they can when Blues are saying 7000-8000 and clubs like Middlesbrough are stating 10,000, albeit in a slight larger ground.
With no away fans in the ground, the whole stadium could be made available. Seems strange that they appear to be sticking with this limit. Hopefully they're just being cautious and will raise it closer to the time.

Guess it will depend on cost, to open up the whole stadium, stewards etc.
But doubling the gate would easily cover the cost. It would be a massive kick in the teeth if a club whose fans have to travel to a different city to watch them, had to suffer the strictest self-imposed capacity restrictions that deny fans the opportunity to attend and which would also mean the team would be playing in the emptiest stadium in the entire EFL.
We'll see I guess.

I imagine the lease is set up for just the two stands. Why we don’t use the away section I don’t know. The only game we’ve actually opened more is the Brum game where they’d have got 50% anyway and that seemed like a special arrangement.

Not sure you can accuse them of sticking to a limit when we haven't sold out.
The club aren't going to turn down money. If there's enough demand to make opening more of the ground financially viable they will. No problem with season ticket holders from last year getting priority.
Exactly, 3 sides of the ground were used last season, and I very much doubt Blues would object if we asked if we could use the main stand for a handful of games, even if extra costs were involved they would be covered im sure.
We haven't sold out because it's physically impossible to sell out, the cap has been set just above the number of ST holders from last season, of which there are bound to be 10-20% who won't renew for various reasons.
I know a number of people who would buy a ST now if they could but they can't. Anyway, as soon as the ST priority ends the 3500 will go, and let's see what the club do then, perhaps they're just waiting for that before they commit.

They’re being cautious. I am told the Ricoh is to be set at 10200 or so. Not that we can use it of course. It’s been explained why it’s 3500 as only 2 stands being used
We know that, what is being questioned is why only 2 stands, but it may well be that they will open up the rest as we get closer. The 3.5K will be gone by the 17th, so let's see what they do then. If they stick to 3.5K after that then they'll come under a lot of pressure and will have to explain why.

Which 2 stands will be open at St Andrews, could they not use the away stand for home fans ?
Grendel

Have they said they are only allowed 2 stands? It’s pretty obvious demand would be greater then 3,500

Not here I'm afraid, not a pot to piss in due to working a part time role due to covid. Gutted to miss championship football but it is what it is. More gutted for the kids tbh, specially my lad, all hes ever seen is L1 +2, thinks I'm taking the piss that when i was his age i was watching us beat Arsenal at HR.
Have asked for the shirt as an early xmas present off the mother in law though, so thats something in the club coffers i suppose

Well, some of us have the CCM but no ST, as 19-20 ST hospitality takers aren't currently able to purchase STs!

It isn’t great. They need to sort it this week. Also, they need to explain how it works as it currently sounds like we may pay the premium price for the general seating initially.

Just took the plunge and renewed, was waiting for the finance to be available but thought sod it, it's as long as it's short. Both shirts for me and my lad ordered too.
Is it on sale to last seasons match package fans on 15th as well (sorry if this has been mentioned previously) ?

Have the club released any more sales updates since the 1,200 within 24 hours one? Surely they will sell out the 3,500 allocation within minutes of it opening up to members etc

Bought four in two minutes, no hassle at all

Thanks for this advice. Read it, changed assigned to manage and they sent the person I’m linked with an email asking them to confirm they were happy for me to manage for them. They Replied to the email right away and when I logged back in I had renewals plural not just my own ticket to purchase. Both purchased now.
