Is Norwich sold out? (8 Viewers)

[rob9872]

Been through all of this before.

For those who have not been able to justify having a season ticket for differing undestandable reasons over the previous qualifying seasons are in all practicality 'shut out' of almost all games. The only ones that can be attended are those that are midweek away and the couple of those games away with big allocations such Sheff Wednesday and Stoke in cup and Im sure Blackburn.

I have over 900 points and only got to Preston, Sheffied Wednesday and Stoke in FA cup. This is someone who has been to countless home and away games over a very long time period. Some games were possible to get tickets for but not practical with being midweek and more than 200 plus miles away from me .

Cant be 100% but this is my analysis so far for someone with 900 points and likely situation should we continue being in contention for direct promotion.

Impossible
Saturday 16th (3pm) – Derby County (A)
Saturday 30th (3pm) - Oxford United (A)
Saturday 20th (3pm) – Leicester City (A)
Saturday 1st (3pm) – Wrexham (A)
Saturday 8th (3pm) – Stoke City (A)
Saturday 6th (3pm) – Ipswich Town (A)
Saturday 20th (3pm) – Southampton (A)
Sunday 4th (3pm) – Birmingham City (A)

Not sure what happened with this match
Thursday 1st (3pm) – Charlton Athletic (A)

Possible
Wednesday 1st (7:45pm) – Millwall (A)
Saturday 4th (3pm) – Sheffield Wednesday (A)
Tuesday 21st (7:45pm) – Portsmouth (A)
Tuesday 25th (7:45pm) – Middlesbrough (A)
Tuesday 9th (7:45pm) – Preston North End (A)

Future game predictions
Monday 27th (3pm) – Norwich City (A) possible
Saturday 31st (3pm) – Queens Park Rangers (A) impossible
Saturday 21st (3pm) – West Bromwich Albion (A) impossible
Wednesday 25th (7:45pm) – Sheffield United (A) unlikely
Saturday 7th (3pm) – Bristol City (A) very unlikely or likely is switched to midweek
Saturday 21st (3pm) – Swansea City (A) very unlikely
Monday 6th (3pm) – Hull City (A) very unlikely
Saturday 18th (3pm) – Blackburn Rovers (A) possible
Saturday 2nd (12:30pm) – Watford (A) impossible

So on current scheduling estimate only 7 games available this season to me with 5 of them on a week day and 16 in all likelihood being impossible.

Fairest way is a ballot or at least a partial ballot when some tickets are kept to one side to allow a small portion of different people to go.
Sorry if its long but I thought I would just try and do some proper analysis.

Fairest for you

However much analysis, there has still not been anything put forward that's fairer than the current points system

If you’re not committing to going to all home games (by buying a ST) why do you need to go to away ones?

The problem with your fairest way is that it isnt actualy fair. I am fortunate and qualify for the majority of games however i object to potentially missing out on a low allocation game to somebody who has minimum points but wins a ballot. Already we have supporters clubs guaranteed tickets at lower brackets and im sure the club also take an amount for players to distribute too. Imagine Bournemouth away in the premier under your proposal... people in the highest bracket probably miss out.

Yeah his 'fairest way' seems to suggest all tickets in a ballot. Only suggested some tickets as second option.
The agenda is clear, easy access to tickets for those who can't be arsed to do the leg work and fuck those that have

Nice one! Give Tombland a visit. Cathedral worth a look at and the Ribs of Beef pub and eateries are very nice.

King's Head just over the Bridge from the Ribs is a decent traditional ale pub too, if that's your thing.

Brighton have a system where points are tiered for Away games, so a London game on a Saturday is 5 points, and say Sunderland Away on a Tuesday night would be 15. They also only get points if the tickets are actually scanned and they are non transferable. That's what's coming next year for us if we get promoted I'm sure.

People have it in their heads that fans are buying tickets and not going. Bar Bristol City in the cup last season, I've not seen it tbh

And milwall this season..
30 pointer and sold out the entire stand.

A large chunk of these were bought from the resell too.
