    “ Ticket Office “

    Some people just prefer it I guess. Plus kids tickets can't be bought online on their own.I don't think? Will be lots of youngsters going to Oxford game for example. Some will be getting Boro tickets and they have no choice, others maybe just like using cash. I know someone who had a serious...

    Yeah, I guess so, although I recall we took 2K to Tranmere a few years back on NYD, but maybe the next day wasn't a working day, can't remember. Even so, you'd think it'd far more viable for most than say Cardiff on a Tuesday night when we took 1800. Should get back by 8pm from this one. Not...

    On this subject, sales for Boro are really disappointing. I understood Sunderland given the date, but I thought Boro would be healthy enough even if it didn't quite sell. The new players have been a bit spoiled with full away ends but 900 rattling around the away end on Teesside going to be very...

    From my experience, it won't really change anything. The only difference will be a bar we can lean on, and you can easily see over this while seated, especially with the steep incline at the CBS. Don't imagine there will be many who move, but yes, they need to have a plan for those that do. I...

    It seems we have given Leicester more tickets than Wednesday, so it should be occupied for that game.

    Those areas are not closed currently, and it was a complete non incident you refer to, just one Wednesday idiot. Shouldn't change the fact that they are now happy for there to be no closed blocks between home and away fans if demand is there.

    The biggest issue I see is not where they plan to introduce safe standing, it's a no brainer, and is really about ticking the safety certificate box, it won't change anything for those in the areas suggested. It's more about the areas not included, those at the bottom of the blocks who currently...

    They are proposing that it is introduced in areas of the ground where everyone already stands all game. I'm not sure of the grounds on which anyone would object. Not even sure a consultation is needed.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Swansea City Match Thread - Friday 29th Dec

    Looking at the seating plan, it's not been possible to buy 2 seats together since last night. I'm sure they'll open a block later, but it seems an odd way of selling tickets. When it's this close to a sell out, just open everything up and let people choose their preferred location.

    Yeah, must be lots of practical benefits sharing the same platform. Take Wembley games for example, tm handle those games, so of if the details (ST details, loyalty points, friends and family) are already loaded on to that system, it obviously makes it a lot easier.

    Get your point completely. I don't love it, just when it's sung by a large number of people on repeat, it's not too bad.

    It really isn't that bad, is it? (video below cuts to song)

    If ST holders were ok with releasing their seat for free then yes. Most of these schemes offer a rebate to the ST holder though, so that would require a sell out in order to make sense.

    MR & AV are experts

    Also brilliant at adjusting tactically. They did it midway through last season to get the best out of the players we had, and didn't really hesitate to ditch the formation that has worked for us for several years when it clearly wasn't working this season. The longevity of tenure and patience of...

    Works well in grounds sold out every week. Everyone wins. The seat gets used. The ST holder gets back the pro-rata value of the game and the club generates extra revenue by selling on the seat at full price. Needs to be regular sell out for it to be worthwhile though.

    I think it's the number that is surprising. Will always be missing ST holders, but Preston sold out yesterday and it looked like one. Also, the East Stand side of the ground there were very few empty seats.

    Could also be that some people openly offer to pass on their tickets on Facebook under their own name. Seem that often.

    Perhaps people are being caught going in on a concession ticket and it turns out this ticket has been passed on. Like you say, would be very difficult to police this.
