Return of Supporters

Can I remind all those attending not to eat the Jerk Chicken in the green man pub.

Anyone know why City have restrictions on them as to whom can apply for tickets, yet the same doesn't apply to Spurs, if Spurs can have fans from around the country why can't City?

Travel restrictions more likely mean tha city are advised to lay on travel than allow fans to just go down themselves, most spurs ST holders will be from London and the home counties so makes sense.

As for scottish berts, well you cannot travel from scotland to london yet anyway can you?

When the first lockdown hit and I saw the greed of the Premier League, the FA and uefa I decided I was done with football and I would not be renewing my ST or going to matches.

Anyway, all sorted now, me and my mate on the coach. Wembley here we come.

What?

Where’s the hiding behind secrecy?

I see very few comments about tickets on this forum that aren’t motivated by self interest. Maybe your views are different.

There’s going to be more demand than supply and that’s if the Covid conditions allow up to 10k Blues in the ground. The maths dictate that a lot of us won’t get tickets but we’ve seen more success in the last decade than most of us could dream of. No end of consultations will change the maths.

I was referring to the latter part of the sentence "Almost certainly a ballot but we're still discussing some key details. don't really want to say any more than that."
I agree with you, self-interest tends to motivate many ticket discussions.
Personally, I'm disappointed that I'm excluded from the Carabao Cup Final as I now live in the Midlands even though I have enough points (whereas spurs fans can travel from anywhere). Would support a general ballot for the Everton game.

I was also a senior union rep. And we negotiated with the company, reported back to our committee then reported back to our members once we had something to report. I can tell you what we want, which is the maximum number of season card holders to get tickets, with some priority for higher points. But we're not objecting to the ballot principle. Whether that's what we'll get is another matter.

I used to prefer getting a mandate from members ahead of negotiations, but I agree with your general point.
Personally I agree with a ballot for the Everton game.
As an exiled blue living in the Midlands I'm disappointed I've been excluded from League Cup Final tickets even though I have enough points (whereas spurs fans can travel from anywhere). Interestingly, my wife comes from Kent but that area was allowed to apply for tickets even though the distance to Wembley is farther than from my home in the Midlands. It's bizarre.

Spurs will have fans from all over, if one Spurs fan can travel from anywhere then why can't a City fan.

If you were lucky enough to be able to select car as the option before they all went (I was) then you drive down.
