Bodo Away

I booked flights & a hotel for this as soon as they dates were announced in August for me & my wife, going out Sunday coming back Wed Morning. She has no interest in the game so the plan was to go and look around for a few days as we like going random places, id go to the game and she'd stay at the hotel while the game was on (hotel is 15 mins walk from the stadium)

I knew the allocation would be low and it'd be touch & go but at the time had the thought of "where there a will there's a way" & i'll get one & was hoping Artic Circle in Jan wasn't everyone's cup of tea. In hind sight, I should have done more research on the allocation & should have known that a chance to go to a new random ground for those at the very top of the points table would be my undoing.

Saw the criteria the other day, have accepted the fate that i don't have a chance of one getting one, even a last min drop out so have cancelled my hotel (free cancellation) and flights. I'm down about £200 on my flights as Scandinavian airways apparently only give back a certain amount on cancellations. Its a long & expensive way to go to listen to the game outside the stadium if i can't get in and we'll look o re book around that area in the summer when its light pretty much all day rather than dark all day

Good luck to those that qualify, here's hoping we get them again at some point and the novelty wears off for some
You should have gone. You’d have got a ticket. There is always a way in if you’re determined enough.
 
Three coldest matches ever?
Boro FA Cup Away
Shrewsbury FA Cup Away ( snowballs chucked at Malcom Allison)
Everton home one January, can’t remember when…
Coventry Highfield Road 80s ? Think it was a 0-0 draw , snow and ice everywhere, absolutely freezing, couldn't feel me toes!

Fair enough.

I thought I heard 1 ticket per branch. Pethaps that was just for our branch.

Whoever gets the one ticket has to prove they have paid for the travel.

The persons name will be on the ticket and must match ID at the ground.
City say there are over 400 branches.
