Seriously?

I could name ten U21s and I've not been all season.

ST holders are making me laugh here,talk of plastic fans and coming out the woodwork,listen to yourself's you think you are special.The one thing i can't get my head round is why are the St holders allowed 6 tickets each,i mean you only hold one seat in the ricoh,perhaps they thought well at least giving them 6 each we might sell some .6 x 6000 .36000..ah well!! it is only the checkatrade trophy dudes! even if we win the thing,not really going to shout it from the rooftops are we,you know people will laugh at us..cya their

Its because, for whatever reason, ST holders always get the option of 6 for cup games and away games. We're not the only club to allow so many. Personally I'd make it 2 per ST but the club do have a point when they say it would be unfair to change it now.

I might shout it from my rooftop. Although I live in a bungalow, so not sure if that will add or detract from the experience.

Wembley is different though innit? Old rules don't apply. Think it's a lame excuse personally. (Well I would)

We'll I'm a season ticket holder and far from thinking I'm special , I have spent most time thinking I'm a feckin idiot.
I agree 6 is too many , but as I have said previous, the club has tried to use its supporters to allocate the tickets.
Just imagine the best part of 40k descending on the 2 windows at the BPA.

Without wishing to be labelled a ticketing bore (I've been called worse), one block the top tier has now become available for those waiting for the £20 tickets. Right on halfway too.

Touche!
I'll blame it on my age.
Clearly I should know the difference between Pony tails, Pig Tails, Top knots, Braids and Plaits.
Or the occasional Alice band.

The oldest trick in the book "you better hurry they are almost all gone". The home shopping channels all use this technique.
You can almost imagine the cave men "this is the last dinosaur bone, who will give me one of those shiny rocks for it?"

They turned me away the bastards!
But if that's right then hats off to the staff in the ticket office, we're lucky to have people who care as much as they do when they're employed by a mob like our current owners.

Makes me smile when people talk about 'new' fans. We have a big fan base. A very fractured and disillusioned one, but it is there. Every now and then a game comes along where everyone wants to go to. Be it a homecoming, a JPT semi-final or a trip to Wembley. The club have 85,000 unique individuals logged on the database who have bought tickets at some point over the past few years.

They'll be a few first timers, especially kids, but good. What better way to get them interested? I am sure Oxford fans had the same discussions when they took 34,000 last season, and then followed up with a home gate of 6 or 7K. It's Wembley, embrace it*

*but I do hope everyone who wants a ticket gets one.
