More possession doesn't automatically mean more shots. We've literally been evidence of that this season.

Not the worst of the worst but Kevin Friend at home to Spurs in 2017 (I think) is up there. Probably not as remembered as we still won the game.

Crazy how many people have bought tickets in a standing area to spend sizeable chunks of the game sat down. Atmosphere tourism.

The Villa 6-1 with Mane's hat trick?

Loads of clubs are doing digital away tickets already. Think they integrate the apps rather than require users to have multiple different applications I'm expecting them for Palace unless our app isn't linked up yet.

Fair enough. I don't use it so wouldn't even know who the so called influencers are and definitely didn't know they got free shirts. Still think the club likely aren't arsed about people passing away tickets on as means less chance they're left with a bill. Until there's a big a issue at a game involving a fan who shouldn't have been there I doubt that'll change either.

Problem is I highly doubt the club care about people selling on their tickets. They're certainly not gonna pay someone to trawl through social media looking for repeat offenders.

Pretty sure Everton will be popular this year.

United away on a Thursday night in January on TV will get to general sale I imagine. Rather annoyingly that's also pushed the Forest game back to the Sunday despite it not being on TV.

Very true! Though I'd have preferred closer to one of the corners as the middle blocks are furthest from the pitch.

Fuck sake so I got shite seats for nothing.

Why on Earth did Wolves start on just 4? Ridiculously low number to start on given how well sales have been going. Hardly any left already. Gonna be some angry people who have missed out I think.

Certain points of the season = 30th April onwards

City selling really well after going on sale yesterday. Bottom tier all gone and only a couple left in middle tier. Surprised by that really even with our increasing numbers. Wonder how many 'spares' will suddenly become available...

I wonder if the club plan on stewarding the Northam stand at all? Plenty of people moving to stand with mates and cram into one 'seat'. I moved at half time on Saturday and found it easy to find an empty space but in the new area there was people openly smoking cigarettes and sniffing cocaine. I would have thought one of the requirements of the license for safe standing would be that it's properly stewarded to ensure it's only one person per space so seems strange the club aren't doing this. Also extremely weird how there's people who've bought tickets in a standing area to sit down most of the game.

That's the spirit

Agree with all of that but your original post did seem to speculate beyond that unless I'm misunderstanding. "We’re 2 shit passes and a terrible penalty away from having a reasonable start to the season."

It's a fact that we wouldn't have lost to United had the penalty gone in?

Sounded dreadful last night on the TV. Everton fans were basically silent but could barely hear ours either. Not sure if that's how it was in the ground of course but it sounded like a pre season match. Credit to everyone who travelled up there for a midweek game mind.

The rails they've added are utterly horrendous, it's far less comfortable than standing in the old seating areas were. For all the song and dance they made about doing it they've done such a half arsed and cheapskate job.

That most expensive adult ticket is wrong I'm pretty sure?

Definitely a typo. A colleague of mine got one yesterday on 8 with 6 from last season.

Perhaps I'm misremembering. I thought we largely stuck with it for the rest of the season.

Apart from the half a season which led to our highest league finish in 30 years?

Bournemouth sold out on second window as expected. How was our support on Saturday? Sounded decent through the screen until the 2nd and 3rd goals.
