If we'd have had 20k season ticket holders the club would still have let them have 2 tickets each
If we'd have had 20k season ticket holders the club would still have let them have 2 tickets eachIt was a mistake and completely wrong to allow season ticket holders to buy more than one ticket and move seats. Overcomplicated the process and unfair on general sales.
aye, it likely was and GMP don't insist on 3 blocks of segregationThat was probably the day it kicked off all over Manchester before the game
Man City is the same, touching distance between home and away fans. It was like it at Maine Rd as well.aye, it likely was and GMP don't insist on 3 blocks of segregation
Still a few tickets available in 31/32 but these are incorrectly showing as family zone.
It's got to be someone local who is in the Cov WMP or the SAGMan City is the same, touching distance between home and away fans. It was like it at Maine Rd as well.
It's not as if you can say it is WMP either as they don't have such huge segregations at Villa Park, West Brom or Wolves.
They keep appearing and disappearing. Had them in my basket a few times.Really? Nothing showing at all for me, not even singles
You cant select them. Been trying for the last 30 mins.Think it's probably only a handful, but frustrating all the same.

It's bloody mad isn't it?They keep appearing and disappearing. Had them in my basket a few times.
Doesn't really explain why it shows them to you, lets you select them, takes you to the next screen then tells you you can't have them. Or the various people earlier who have reported getting all the way to the checkout and then being denied their purchase or kicked out.They will appear as baskets expire.

Ah yeah that makes sense.They will appear as baskets expire.
Couple of points, good luck letting in more people than the SAG advice and maintaining valid event insurance. Also the council can ultimately dictate the license for the venue, if the club ignore the advice of the SAG the licensing committee may not look too kindly on it, I doubt Frasers would be happy if the club put the venues license to hold events at riskIts all very simple.
The ground is allowed to let in 32k people to watch games.
The Police and SAG advise the club on segregation and away numbers.
The club can choose or not choose to take this advice.
If fans safety is put at risk then the club is liable to prosecution and a reduction in capacity.
However the authorities cannot reduce the capacity of the stadium willy nilly. It has to go through the correct legal channels and has to be for a valid reason.
If they had at any point reduced the capacity of the ground it would've been in the news, as such action is highly unusual.
The SAG and Police will always advise the maximum amount of segregation as it is their job to push for maximum safety, just like all those covid scientists that would still have us in lockdown. In the real world risk is traded off against living a life and running a business
I saw Jaws there in 1975 and the Chameleons last December.The old ABC cinema for us really oldies JD sports for you younger ones.
Just a question, who decides what blocks must be closed.

Even if you believe the council and / or police can't directly force the club to have empty seats on Sunday they sure as hell can make things very difficult if the club goes against their advice
Lets be honest, the council make it up as they go along, the no parking zone was only supposed to be in place for events above a certain capacity according to their own documentation yet when we were getting below that number it remained in place
That said the club should come out and be very clear about why those blocks aren't being on sale, its ridiculous. Its one thing when there's thousands of empty seats in the ground but that's not the case now and if it is on police / council advice they should be put in a position where they have to justify that position, Gilbert needs to get on the case
Agree on mistake but for the club, it didn’t over complicate the process, it streamlined it as sales could be made quicker and easier allowing for faster distribution.It was a mistake and completely wrong to allow season ticket holders to buy more than one ticket and move seats. Overcomplicated the process and unfair on general sales.
Btw , we'd struggle to sell out in the Premier league because we got 11000 in 1992
I was there, maybe our best season. Son was born when we were top of the league after 3 games, also the best Christmas games ever thrashing Villa and Liverpool. Mickey Quinn will be a god forever from that seasonBtw , we'd struggle to sell out in the Premier league because we got 11000 in 1992
These were popping up everywhere after 9pm last night. Every time I tried to put one in the basket it wouldn’t let me.
Not much , it doesn't really elsewhere these days .. 1 or 2 k scattered at most , demand for tickets would be hugeI think in a relegation battle it would taper off
Was your second child born 9 months after we were top of the league after 3 games??I was there, maybe our best season. Son was born when we were top of the league after 3 games, also the best Christmas games ever thrashing Villa and Liverpool. Mickey Quinn will be a god forever from that season
There were a fair few (and there may possibly still be the odd one or 2 in and out of people's baskets) available in the family stand.... but nobody could buy them as you had to buy an adult ticket with a kids, So unless you got 2 in your basket and changed one of them to a child's ticket you couldn't buy them.These were popping up everywhere after 9pm last night. Every time I tried to put one in the basket it wouldn’t let me.
My daughter was actually born 9 months after we won the checkatradeWas your second child born 9 months after we were top of the league after 3 games??
It didn’t over complicate the process = the club being lazy and having no plan in placeAgree on mistake but for the club, it didn’t over complicate the process, it streamlined it as sales could be made quicker and easier allowing for faster distribution.
It would have been right but more complicated and time consuming to sell them in order of priority points, above 1,000 first, then 900-1000 etc but could have still has flaws in that where someone could not have gone this season to a single game but had a ST at blues and picked up a lot of priority points from having that ST. Should they then be ahead of someone buying this year in their first season?
Reality is that these games can sell twice over for any club with fans who have been before at some stage, no ST holder is buying for a first time.
It’s a shame but a reality that some will get lucky and sadly others will have to watch in the pub, home or elsewhere.
