At City Today.

Loving the folks walking up to the barriers near the windows atm and then being directed into the north stand with bemused looks on their faces.<br /><br />-- Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:34 am --<br /><br />Let another 30 through so upto 150 now. Squirtys right, slow movement outside...one guy has had window 3 for about 10 mins throwing his arms about.

How big is the queue this morning chaps?

Thinking of sauntering down there at 11am when the masses have cleared.

Im 110 in the queue, i reckon theres around 220-250 here at the moment. Should have a wait of 30 mins if you get here by then but i wanted to give myself the best chance to get a level 1 blue area ticket (behind goal).

seems to be quite a few behind the goal left, we got 137 row 34. Happy with that :)
The same reason we are here too. Don't fancy watching from the gods.

Please can you ask roughly how many lower tier cat 2s theyve got mate when you get to the window and reply on here when youve got yours? Cheers.

And now an argument at window 4, loool class!

Cheers randomer, did they offer you any other blocks behind there?<br /><br />-- Tue Mar 29, 2011 9:43 am --<br /><br />Window 3 now been taken for 20 mins, with shakes of the head occuring now. I think as points go down, the supporters are less aware of the criteria. Bit worrying this is happening on 4k points. Why get here at 5am queuing up without checking???

Windows are now serving number 69, if thats the case i want window 4 haha :-p

I knew because I was on of those awkward buggers who wouldn't be fobbed off with the ticket they said they were only selling

Took a while to convince them I wasn't for budging

 

[mancmackem]

Im just under 20 from the front mate.I dont want to break bad news,but i think you are gonna be here a while. Window 8 out of action atm but no wankers causing arguments for a good 10 mins haha! Some guy has just been offered row 20 behind the goals or the corners so reckon theres a few left yet there!

On a slightly different note, when i joined the q on saturday at 9am, bearing in mind it took 6 hours to get my ticket, i started talking to the bloke infront of me. He said he was here for his Liverpool ticket, now thats dedication lol. He was told he had to use the same q poor sod. He lost the will after about 30 mins, whoever you are mate hope you got it now. Another story from that day. another bloke infront got to the window after 6 hours to be told he didnt have enough loyalty points, he also asked what the cup scheme was. I was frozen to the bone when i finally got away but was well worth it, especially all the banter which match day seems to be getting less

 

[Silvaslovechild]

Lol. I just had a woman Kickong off big time behind me as she didn't realsose she has short of 4000 points and has Been quewing for an hour. She is refusing to leave q and is waiting to speak to manager at ticket office. Absolute twat lol.

i wouldnt take any notice of what you have been offerd as to how many tickets are left, dif windows sell dif blocks

 

[mancmackem]

Thats kind of right marco , but if you ask nicely then they do tend to accommodate you. She got me in my mates block of 135 row 24 when initially 1. She wasnt selling that block, and 2. The girl next window only had tickets low down in 135. Another pass for the ticket office for me, and a nice thank you email going in.<br /><br />-- Tue Mar 29, 2011 10:24 am --<br /><br />Im quite confident in saying anyone in that queue today will get behind the goals or down the sides level 1.
