Did anyone else that has bought tickets today notice that the stadium map appeared the wrong way round? We're in the west stand yet during booking, that was on the right instead of the left.
 
I found it surprisingly easy today tbf, easiest I've ever found it for a big game. Joined the queue at 9:20 and was done by 9:40.

Just took me a minute to work out that the category shading was wrong when zoomed out.

Got myself a cheap lower tier ticket so well happy :)

Was 9:20 the earliest that you could join the queue...??

What I mean is did you try earlier and it wouldn't let you join until 10 mins before the sales window was due to open...??

Yeah I tried a few times, reckon they opened it roughly twenty past. It's a manual thing though so no guarantee it'll be the same time tomorrow.
 
Not met any of you in person yet, but who will be the brave soul to arrange a meet before the game. I will be coming full of hope with my 17 YO lad.
 
Can't wait to go through all of this tomorrow morning. How long did it take roughly? Although it'll presumably be open to more people tomorrow.

I was no.30 in the queue, at about 9.15. Got let in bang on 9.30. And even a bit of faffing around deciding where to sit (the block I was originally planning on hasn't been released yet), I was done and dusted by 9.40.

Very easy.
 
Bit worried about Wellington for this. Hopefully just lack of match sharpness but thought he looked well off it last night.

Yeah, Welington vs Semenyo gives me nightmares. I'm sure Tom told us that Manning wasn't actually suspended, but presume that's confirmed as the case that he is.

Yeah I’d be tempted to shift Bree to the left. Unfortunately that means playing a CB on the right.

Semenyo vs Welington though is a scary thought at the moment.

Yeah it feels like it could be decisive.

All the more reason to give him a start Saturday imo.

Might not be the worst shout tbf, though I think then we're weakening two positions rather than one.

Probably best just to go with a 3 man midfield and have one of them whose job it is to support Wellington.
