Playoffs 2020/21

[YEO YEO YEO]

Of the trial events which had over 60,000 spectators only 15 tests came back positive after though.

Im all for being careful unlocking, and taking things slowly etc, but it’s a 90k capacity stadium for heavens sake.

Oh really? I've not read anything from the trial events. It's really is frustrating but it's been the clear message for a number of weeks/ months now. 10k attendance maximum so I've resigned myself to it!

COVID-19: Just 15 people test positive among nearly 60,000 who attended trial mass gatherings, figures show

Nine large-scale events were staged, including the FA Cup final and the Brit Awards, which were exempt from certain COVID rules.

Not saying it should be capacity or anything (even though they’re hoping the Euro final will be), but those allocations are very small.

Well done to Newport.

What a dramatic game with so many twists and turns.

Shame more cannot go - at the FA Cup final both teams got 10k I think.

21000 for the fa cup final.
So why not 10,500 tickets for each team over the bank holiday games ?

How convenient that the pilot event happened to be the cup final so they could get more plastic corporate fans in.
Call me cynical

Yepp I'll be applying. Fingers crossed!

Have I read it correct that the 3879 is for the fans/ season ticket holders and the allocation to players families etc have already been taken out?

4300 season ticket holder left who didn't request some form of money back. Hopefully enough for all those that want them - I reckon there will be a few with prior commitments over the bank holiday weekend.

Yep, it sounds like 3,879 is after a few have been deducted for the Board, players etc. Not a huge amount for them either.

I know why the Club have done it, but it's a shame for the 2,000 or so who couldn't renew because they were taken off sale due to Covid can't be in the hat somehow.

I think there were thousands of local keyworkers in attendance?

 

[Railway Blue]

Any Imps on here going for the ballot? Didn't attend the Sunderland game but will be applying for the ballot this time.

Will the ballot be televised?

 

[Imp in Branston]

Yep, it’s booting Corrie off the prime time tv slot as we are so important.

That'll be me mate, gutted, my 40th season and wont get to go to a single game, bloody covid!
Can't be in the ballots but we're allowed to renew for next season as we had a season ticket in 19/20.

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

So we hit 4300 season ticket holders in the early renewal last season (I remember renewing just before COVID hit) and then covid hit? Is that right? Then they didnt go back on sale? Ouch!! Unlucky David!

My other half was furloughed so couldn't afford it around 2000 did the same, there was a later window.
Can't afford this time but will renew my daughter's jic membership so we'll see plenty and isn't there sky rewards as well?

Are Blackpool not boycotting now they've had a good season? Should only need 2k tickets shouldn't they?

They not boycotting because they got rid of the Oyston's.

 

[SF_]

They not boycotting because they got rid of the Oyston's.

They also weren't boycotting under the Oystons when they were doing OK in the Championship.

It strangely coincided with when they went back to being shit.

 

[Railway Blue]

That was because Oyston was putting the money into his pocket instead of into the team.

Did that before they got to the Prem but they weren't crying then.

Not surprised, they haven't even bothered to attend games since they've been back in League One.

Whatever happened to Kurt?

Was only interested when they got promoted.

Probably back to being a ballroom dancing fan now.

Anyway, back to talking about playoffs.

I've got a ticket and I can't wait. Im not expecting us to win, but as long as we dont embarrass ourselves. If it ends up with penalties like the Europa final last night, i dont think i would cope!!!
