Yes, it would be close to 2,000 or maybe a bit above. I wouldn't be surprised if we failed to sell out tbh! I should be able to get on easily enough on points but as I've no car I'm doubtful if I can get back to Blackpool the same night looking at the train times, especially if it goes to ET/penalties.
Exactly, cold turkey has made the addiction worse if anything!Think if it had been a ballot I don't think I'd have bothered but knowing I can pick one up has my leg twitching a bit - 13 months cold turkey and the addiction is still there!
Think I read somewhere that there was an option to defer renewal til the 22/23 season but still keep your seat - hope that’s true, seems like the best option if your source is correct
And was pulled up in the National.Christ, talk about jumping through holes! I'll be astonished if anybody could be bothered with that malarkey.
Dont shoot the measenger!! ;)Even though the government have said 10k for the Everton game and full stadiums after June 21st?
Yeah, earliest I have been able to find is 1:40pm on the Saturday so have booked that for now. Be interesting to get some more information on thisI noticed that too so booked for Saturday at 1.50pm (latest one I can get). I assume the day before must be fine (as no one can get any later) but have asked supporter services the question
Have to be on last season’s League Cup scheme as well as having the pointsI'd imagine we've got about 2,000 fans above 21,000 points?
Assume it’ll be fine day before. The text states date of test and the result and name etc. No mention of a time in the actual test result (only on the text received)Yeah, earliest I have been able to find is 1:40pm on the Saturday so have booked that for now.

Funnily enough - it is so long ago, I can’t remember if I was ON the cup scheme last year. I presume so as I watched the semi final in my usual seat.Have to be on last season’s League Cup scheme as well as having the points
Does anyone know how many season ticket holders we have in the cup scheme.
Match day as we knew and loved it in the old days has long been dead and buried but now even the modern sanitised match day looks to be falling by the wayside.Rags are doing that but not necessarily keeping your usual seat. They can defer though and for those that pay for one, they will be entered into a ballot and get refunds for the games they are unsuccessful for.
If you win the ballot for Southampton on a Friday night, you are then not entered into the ballot for say Dippers at home the following game. You could potentially end up going to 4/5 shit games during the whole season if restrictions don’t loosen.
I thought back to normal on 21 June meant exactly that! Clearly not.
For what reason would they want to do that.Match day as we knew and loved it in the old days has long been dead and buried but now even the modern sanitised match day looks to be falling by the wayside.
In the same way that councils have used COVID as an excuse to pedestrianise large parts of cities - decisions which won’t be reversed post covid - I can see many new restrictions being imposed on match day fans under the guise of “staying safe” which will remain in place forever.
The authorities are so far out of touch that they think all City fans live in and around Manchester and all Spurs fans live in and around London, hence why postcode restrictions on City fans and none on Spurs fans. If Wembley was in Manchester it would be the other way round.Not sure the authorities have imposed the post code restrictions as there aren’t any for Spurs fans , as long as they are season ticket holders they can apply using there normal away ticket criteria but they do still have to go through the testing. So Spurs fans around our area and there are plenty can attend but City fans can’t . That doesn’t make sense.
To steer the product in the direction they want it to go. Stadia full of home fans of the happy smiling middle class families variety clutching bags full of merch from the club shop rather than snarling drunken young men singing aggressive songs and heaven forbid swearing out loudFor what reason would they want to do that.
I'm as far from a conspiracy theorist as you can get, but I can certainly see football fans - in particular away fans - being subject to more controls and the pandemic being used by the authorities as an excuse for that. We (football fans) are already subjected to certain laws that would be deemed utterly draconian for any other group of people and there was a groundswell to get some of those relaxed before Covid hit, but now there's a danger it could go the other way even when normality returns to all other walks of life.For what reason would they want to do that.
So why are they installing rail seating.To be honest not sure I want snarling drunken young men singing aggressive songs. Just standing fans singing is fine by me.To steer the product in the direction they want it to go.
