Well that’s what comes up when I try, the selling fee for each ticket is £55

selling through the ticket exchange, once your seat is sold then the club will post out
a paper food/drink voucher for the concourse to the value of £10, which
then has to be used before a certain date.

Tricky times right now. Top of the league and have the highest average home crowd in the Championship. Imagine anyone predicting that even just two seasons ago.

The UK isn't working 9-5 Monday to Friday like it was probably only a couple of decades ago. Those annoyed about it being 6pm on a Monday aren't up in arms about 12.30pm on a Saturday because it doesnt suit their own personal preferences. It actually comes across very much like those who moan about the away games points.

Did you just post evidence that the vast majority are working M-F 9-5??

Just listed mine on the exchange, worked out well for me that Ipswich and Sheffield United which are the only two games I should miss at home this season have both had the exchange open.

It's definitely a good system although requires a few tweaks for next year.

Just out of interest which tweaks would you say need looking at?

You just sent me down a rabbit hole…I knew it was low….not ‘The vast majority’ as some would proffer.

Some data suggests as low as 6%.

Over nine in ten not working the usual 9-5 week | YouGov

A new YouGov survey in conjunction with Teneo Blue Rubicon and McDonald’s reveals that almost six in ten (58%) UK workers would choose to start work earlier than 9am if they could leave earlier than 5pm.

You might want to check the underlying data for that survey. People were given the choice of picking the time they started work in half hour increments covering a 24 hour period.

It is absolutely true that 6% picked 9am as their start time. However 82% picked other so fuck knows what time they're starting that doesn't feature in a normal 24 hour day

I went down the same rabbit hole and although data seems sparse the most recent data I could find showed 63% working a Monday to Friday 9 to 5. The next biggest group was those working flexible or compressed hours within that timeframe.

Like I said....the games much bigger these days. We have consistantly had great attendances since coming back into the championship. The premier league will require more capacity. Without it, there will be thousands of fans unable to see a game in their home ground!

Several clubs in the Premier League have a waiting list for season tickets. So in your world we spend millions expanding the CBS to handle maybe 5 thousand or so extra people, then what happens when we find ourselves back in the Championship and back with a ground that's too big for us because the floating support disappear again?

The economics of expanding the stadium do not add up. Even Donald Trump wouldn't be able to justify that one.

Would you know what a few years of knowing that will be maintained before spending tens of millions?

Nah. I’m not going there again. The KO time is not a problem for’The vast majority’. Shift workers may miss it. They do anyway. The 9-5 ers that can’t get the day off as well

Ah Ha!
Your’e not going to get me on that one. The answer is out there…Local authority, maybe, industry/ warehousing? Nope. Retail, nope, emergency services, public services, hospitals, pubs/ cinemas/ schools? Retail…nope, anything that requires 24 hour cover?

It’s tough having to miss a game but certainly not going to affect big numbers over and above what happens normally.

Employers play some shitty games this time of year. I remember going in to work for 4am on Christmas Eve on the belief that a 12pm finish would be reduced to 10am as a gesture of good will. Nope. (One view is that anything else would have weakened management anyway).

Yeah I agree, we'd have to spend a large amount of money for just a small increase. Also playing with a reduced capacity for a good chunk of time while an expansion is taking place.
