Reckon it'll probably make general sale. It's a shit midweek trip and in the same month as Lincoln and Wrexham which lots of people will prioritise. Will be interesting to see how low Lincoln goes.

Annoying that there's more midweek games this season. None of the away ones look massively appealing either.

Also typical that the one season we get Bristol City on a Saturday there's a good chance it'll get moved due to being on 4th round weekend.

 

I think Lincoln will sell out this week, lots of interest in it despite the early kick off. 

I was told one of the reasons we have extra midweek games is that Easter weekend has been claimed as an international break week so championship has to find a place in calendar for both those games, plus starting season a week later than usual condensed the season into fewer weeks. 

Norwich away on a Wednesday night feels like a thumbs down to me. I'm sure we've had midweek trips to WBA, Sheffield Utd and Stoke previously as well, tough journeys considering all midweek games are televised. 

Costs spiralling, just noticed its £50 for official coach travel to Lincoln , blimey.

Lincoln details out now, expect this will be the hardest away game to get this season, think it might be paper tickets

Yes it is paper tickets and they are going VERY fast.

The amount blocked out is a joke. Must be close to a quarter of the allocation.

Yeah but for some teams "e tickets" is just an email with a PDF ticket (i think Skates do that) which is nice and easy to share with a mate on WhatsApp, I would say our access via an official Saints app makes it much harder to share tickets 

Some ppl I know just give each other login details and get them to login as them, far worse for security purposes, but 1 way around the nonsense.

This really needs raising at the fans forum although I won’t hold my breath.
