Loads mateAnyone think they'll be any left for the 4pm window ?
About 3000 sold, pretty poor effort really
Looking at the speed Wembley tickets flew off the shelves when it got down to members last week, I still think members could take a lot of the slack up here too but it also depends on whether City open enough blocks up for sale.Sales at an absolute crawl for the Newcastle cup game. This is how it was for the Carabou cup game and City shut off sales and sent blocks back. We might see the same here if members don't suddenly create a rush at 4pm. I don't think they will.
I think what he's saying is more to do with who qualifies for a ticket and every season ticket holder now qualifies. Also, with the game only 9 days away pretty much everyone who qualifies would've bought one by now. If it was 4 weeks away, that's a different story and they could be left on sale for another couple of weeks3000 tickets sold in 24 hours is poor?
For league games L7F is split half away fans with the other half being segregation and home fans.158 now showing in L7F
Good point. It's not poor is it? It's the third time we have been to Newcastle, it's a late kick-off with shite transport, everyone is saving up for Wembley or CL games, it will probably be on free TV, people are struggling financially. I'm lucky to be going but would not judge anyone else or criticise the club. Some people just moan for the sake of moaning. Some of them predicted we would not sell out Wembley. Some of them revel in being negative.3000 tickets sold in 24 hours is poor?

I wasn't aware of the split in that block so that's good to knowFor league games L7F is split half away fans with the other half being segregation and home fans.
The fact they've just added all these suggests we might finally be into the extended allocation.

Fair enough. I just forgot for a minute. I always have a whirlwind of emotions during the final run-in of the seat-counting season.He's not moaning, he's a seat counter performing mid game analysis.

Yes I guess that’s another take I have no strong views either way tbhThere’s different ways of looking at it. There’s an argument that a season ticket is now worth a premium to guarantee being sat with friends and family, much like the charge airlines ask for when selecting your seats on a flight, but also to guarantee tickets for the big games. One of the reasons often given for giving up cup schemes is that fans don’t like the fact it’s a different crowd around them (tourists, neutrals, away fans etc) so we can’t have it both ways. I think this idea of selling off singles is a brilliant idea as long as it’s just for the “difficult to fill” matches and is only done in the final week or two of sales. It mostly opens it up to locals who can change plans easier than those from afar.
