So, due to many commitments, I've not been to a game since September but I'm gonna go to either Gillingham away or Oxford at 'home' over Easter weekend.

Not sure which...like the away atmospheres better but not been to S.Andrews this season and think I should experience it once. If you could choose to go to only one, which one, which one would you go to?!

Oh, and I defo want to go to Wimbledon away last game of the season. Assuming it wont get to general sale, I might be after one of you lovely ST holders to offer to get me two tickets (paid, obvs) for me and my step dad. Thanks in advance.

Really? Isn't it normally 4?

If that's the case...if there's any ST holder that cannot go, then I can offer a good home for those 2 tickets

depends on the allocation, no way it will be 4 per with a 700 allocation.

As someone mentioned previously, it may be worth buying a Wimbledon ticket for another of their home games just so you have a previous purchase history and can go in the home end on the last day.

Though I imagine if too many do that for the same game it’d be rather hilarious.

I doubt it will even be two per STH. It was one each at Exeter in league two with an allocation of 3/400 and that was just a random game in January. A few hundred extra when we’re winning the league and have 4,000 STHs. 1 each.

I would not recommend Gillingham away end. One of the worst away ends in efl. That should be your last option. But you should be able to get tickets easily for that.

Do Oxford at home. Could be a massive game the form they’ve hit and the club need the support and the money at home.

Ahh ok. Was leaning towards Gillingham away as I've not been there before and prefer going away with Cov but think Brum for the Oxford game is the better option and easier for me to pick my step dad up on the way. Cheers gents.

1 each is what I've heard, seems fair to me.

Defo worst away end I've been to. I will be getting tickets in the Medway stand. Good view undercover and I will be able to sit down for the game. Downside of sitting in the home end I'll probably be ejected after a couple of minutes:banghead:

Wimbledon away tickets will be as hard to get as hens teeth.
1 per season ticket holder on a first come first served basis is my guess.
I went to Wimbledon last season and the away end is no bigger than my back garden!
Even the supporters clubs will be limited to the point that you have to be a season ticket holder and will be allocated to members that have been to virtually every away game - I’ve only missed 2 games all season and have 2 season tickets and I’m not guaranteed to get a ticket!
My hope is (and I believe) we will wrap up promotion way before then (Oxford at home is my guess).

I would get yourself up to St Andrews this Saturday as may be the last chance to be at a game for many weeks.
In fact, it would not surprise me if this Saturday is played behind closed doors.
All very sad and disappointing but there is a big meeting at Downing Street tomorrow with all the key sporting authorities.

I read a report somewhere that the government are considering limiting the EFL crowds to 500 rather than completely behind closed doors if worse comes to worse.

What I don't get is they might stop that but there's nothing stopping people going to nightclubs or piling into pubs.

I'd be happy to sign a disclaimer saying I accept the risks because I want to see my team promoted.

The once in my lifetime we may win a league and might miss out because of scaremongering pricks.

How do they police that. Will be a nightmare.
It will be have to be 100% closed doors or normal.
Can you imagine the situation at grounds like Anfield and Elland Road in next couple of weeks.

I agree Nick but it's a nightmare situation for the government.
Stuffed if they do and stuffed if they don't
Nightclubs will be closed. Already happened in Italy.

got tickets for the grand national. All cancelling it will do is drive 80000 into Liverpool city centre. No event can come anywhere near the amount of people on the tube each day !!

If they do it behind closed doors, just gather outside the ground and watch it on ifollow.

Just means being a few minutes behind.

There's no way they can stop big groups of people being together. Its madness.

Is this why football fans wear those jackets with goggles in the hood? Just need their gas mask on and they are fine.

Come on Nick, don't be so obtuse. If official advice is to not attend then attending to watch outside on ifollow is stupidity

Living here in Gran Canaria as a main tourist resort we should be on high alert.
We are not. People coming here from all over the world so at higher risk on a daily basis.
Canarian government said next 2-3 weeks are the most risky for us.
No one is panic buying, we still all shake hands and as being a Spanish island kiss
cheek to cheek with familiar of the opposite sex on a daily basis.

I know this is serious, but i just think it's being blown out of all proportion.
Could just be as we don't have it yet i feel more comfortable. I don't really know the
in's and out's of it all as every article i read is different. When i listen to the news they
all say it there own way, so what do you believe???

If it hit's here on such a small island we are all at risk, yet everyone is relaxed

Depends where you live, doesn’t it. In HK they’re being especially precautionary. No work for a lot of people since the end of January, or working from home. Most places and services (train, bus etc) are still open or running. But it’s not as busy on the streets. They lived through SARS and don’t want a repeat.

No mate. All kindergartens, schools and unis are closed. Only things open are the education centres as they’re private. But, even there, business is well down.

Wouldn't that be more a case of limiting grounds to a maximum of 500 people, Including players, club officials, commentators and selected friends/families of the clubs.
