Woodcote Royal I can't see how anyone can believe that we have a home league fixture in sight that has the remotest chance of not selling out.

Just like there was no chance of Man Utd losing to Southend. My point is that there was a higher chance of this game not selling out than there is for many other games, hence why they were linked. The chance may be small, but there is still a chance.

Just like there is a chance that you might admit to being wrong about something, although again that chance is very small. :wink:

Until the day arrives when our league match tickets are regularly going to general sale, so that those who are currently not allowed to apply can do so, there's more chance of Man U getting stuffed 5-0 by Southend, with you and me playing up front for the Shrimpers, than there is of the Mad Stad not selling out......................but, OK, it's not impossible :P

My dad had this message come up when I tried to buy tickets for the Blackburn game. He then phoned up the ticket office and bingo 2 tickets in the East Stand :D

I'm still surprised we got them in the East Stand, guess it shows there are ST holders not going to the games who are losing money by not giving their tickets to family and friends.

Those tickets are probably because of banning orders resulting from the Chelsea game.

There are always a number of "corporate" tickets, and tickets reserved for players etc, and these only get returned a day or two before the match.

There's also those next to the scoreboard whoich can't be sold as ST seats because of the Sky studio thing.

Oh really? Guess that explains it then, as it did seem most odd.

Before linking games, there was a clear priority system for getting tickets based on previous points history. As we were selling out, there was never any need to link matches, all this would achieve was to piss people off who could make one match and not the other but were forced to buy tickets for games they may not have wanted to go to.

So people like Darlo, who could only make the odd game but set their sights on lower profile games would not get a look in, and people who were trying to build up points for these lower profile games could not get tickets, while most likely there will be empty seats at tomorrows game.

Sky studio is in the away end and I dont know of any places available in the East Stand except S/T.

Main area for reserved players tickets is Lower West.

You what?!? The "studio" thing is just to the right of the screen (as you look at it) and definitely the East stand side of the divide.

There are quite a few non-ST seats scattered around all stands - reserved for comps and corporate tickets, etc. We have 18k ST holders,, and the South stand holds 4k, so with a total capacity of 24k that means there are approx 2000 non-ST seats (i.e. over 10%) scattered around between the 3 other stands.

I thought the East/Away divide followed the right edge of the tunnel and went more or less through the scoreboard.

The temporary stand was to the right of the scoreboard.

Ref Sky Studio, you are so obviously right :wink:

Having walked all over there putting out blue and white plastic for raise the hoops I can assure you that the divide goes up the edge of the tunnel and to the away side of the scoreboard and that the Sky studio is in the home seats between the scoreboard and the divide.

In addition when Sky decided not to use the Sky studio one game and 'forgot' to tell the stadium manager he was a little annoyed as it was too late to get the scaffolding down by the time he found out. He was definitely talking of missing out on home fans using the seats.

It must have changed since it looked like this then:



The seating plan also needs updating too, as according to it, anything to the right of the tunnel is in the South stand.

No offence meant but thats just bollocks.
:wink:

I saw the Sky studio in the South stand - and I handed out the 'Bring it on' thingies. The 'Bring it on thingies' were heavier than your blue and white raise the hoops jobbies ergo my argument carries more weight.

So there!

Cheers then.

As for the Sky studio debate having watched all the Sky games this season, it seems to me that Sky only use that temporary studio for Prem Plus games. For all the other games they're in thew Upper West?

My dad and I also had a good look at the scoreboard and where the studio would be last week, and its definitely in the South Stand :wink:
