Presume you mean 4500 points. I think quite a lot fall into that category. Reason being that there are 3 windows today, all of which are 4500 points and less, and those points drops are much smaller than yesterday's. How many fans in the sub-4500 point bracket are intending to buy tickets for the final is a different question but we'll be able to gauge demand after the first window opens at 10am.This is a genuine question - not a meant to make a point.
How may ST holders have less than 4500 tickets? As the 'standard' ST hasnt been issues for years, these must all be flexi gold. Have I got that right?
If you're old enough and actually remember the game and what happened at the first match, there was shit loads of coverage at the time ahead of the replay about Palace fans staying away.
Your second sentence makes no fucking sense by the way. How can someone who turns up at a football match be classed as boycotting it?
To be fair, a lot of Palace fans boycotted that game due to the Palace fan who was murdered in Walsall before the first match
I'm not disputing that mate and they never sold out the first semi in 1995 against United. I was just pointing out that their numbers for the semi-final replay in 1995 were impacted further by the boycottOk, they also never sold out v Liverpool in 1990
That is almost exactly what I got, the level 2 blocks being the smallest and dearest are going the slowest.Level 5 - 1869
Level 2 - 1437
Level 1 - 498
Total - 3804
So firstly we have Forest complaining about how poorly supported we are even though by every metric we smash them out of the water.
And now we have a glorified pub teams fans complaining even though again by every metric we fill a hell of a lot more seats than they do.
The world is getting dumber and dumber.
That doesn't make any sense. If you let a season ticket lapse and buy one again a couple of seasons later, as long as you've still got your account you shouldn't lose the points. Presumably you must have got the new season ticket with a new account?I have held a season ticket for years (including at Maine Road). In 2010 due to a serious illness, I had to stop my ticket as I was unable to attend. Managed to get a gold ticket back in 2012, but had to start with no points as City would not let me have the old points back. I have renewed every year since and now have 4400 points. I’m not on the cup scheme and can only get a ticket from 1pm today. Might not be able to get a ticket or forced to pay top price. I’ve been to every home game this season and it pisses me off that others are getting tickets without even attending a single game this season!,
Had it out with a Forest fan after the semi-final in a bar in Majorca the other week. His mates were sound and so was he at half-time but once the match finished and I went over to shake their hands he launched into a rant about our "pathetic" and "synthetic" support. Told him that if Forest had been to Wembley as many times as we had over the past 14 years they would be nowhere near selling out a lot of the games. I also said he was having a pop at the wrong person, considering I'd been to 19 of those Wembley trips and it would've been 20 if I wasn't away for the semi-final. Then I told him that Forest haven't had a higher average league attendance than us since 1899 - 126 years ago. One of his Forest supporting mates was pissing his sides at that point: "That's a great stat!"So firstly we have Forest complaining about how poorly supported we are even though by every metric we smash them out of the water.

This is what happens when dickheads who spout shite on social media meet the real world.Had it out with a Forest fan after the semi-final in a bar in Majorca the other week.

Anyway, the fucker eventually calmed down and went outside with the rest of his mates. I wouldn't mind but at no time during the match had I taken the piss out of any of them and was as magnanimous as I could be, telling them they'd been unlucky, etc, in the second half. As I was leaving, I thought best to have a chat with them to smooth things over. He was ok by then so I said I'd been a ST holder for 35 years and I imagine he's been a ST holder at Forest longer than that, given he looked a few years older than me. Then one of his other mates - a Liverpool fan - delivered the money shot and dropped him right in the shit. He said "He's not been anywhere near Forest's ground in the past couple of years. In fact, he's been to Anfield more times recently!". I think at that point the Forest fan wished the ground would open up and swallow him!
I went to the customer service office and they said that I had to set up a new account as the old account had been cancelled!That doesn't make any sense. If you let a season ticket lapse and buy one again a couple of seasons later, as long as you've still got your account you shouldn't lose the points.
