    Looks like we've sold a fair few since I last looked this afternoon. More blocks turning red/orange.

    I think they'll hve hd enough, they'll know fans are getting pissed off and turning their backs because of their ownership. They potentially have a sinking stone with £70m riding on it. I think once we're up, they'll strike a deal getting their money back on top of whatever other benefits they've had such as wages/dividends paid, drops in tax bills etc. and call it a job well done.

    If I was in their shoes I know I would.

    5 booked with 3 generations going, might be the last game for a while for some, apart from away games.

    Quite a lot of tickets had already gone behind the goal.

    I booked mine through the corporate, which is a different system. If we have sold 14,000 in the first 2 days then there is going to be a lot available for general sales.

    Is it true - as the Wendies keep claiming - that our general sale ends before theirs even starts? If so, why are we ending ours so early?

    Not sure, I know priority for card holders finishes today, but general sale I am not sure when it finishes.

    And their general sale starts Tuesday. So why are we ending ours before theirs even starts? Seems madness.

    What if we've got - say 5k tickets left - and people still want them? Why cant they but them until Thursday for example?

    I wonder why so early, you would have thought they would keep them on sale as long as possible?

    Precisely. What's to be gained by it?

    I dont see the point of ending it until just before the match because they could always arrange for tickets to be collected
    if they dont want the hassle they could stop sales on thursday so they can still post the tickets

    the Wendies have a ticket office and we don't - clearly they are not run by business geniuses - if they were they wouldn't still have to mess about selling tickets to fans

    Possibly to stop them buying tickets in our end?

    We may put tickets back on sale at Tiger Leisure or something that way they won't have to be posted out and only people from Hull will buy them.

    How does that work? They can just buy them before our general sale ends. All it means is some City fans might not get to go.

    Exactly.

    I'd imagine buying in our end would be a last resort, most will wait till their general sale so they can sit with their own fans.
