I understand the sentiment but the money from promotion is so important that it trumps even a day out at Wembley for me. It would be disappointing if we don’t play at Wembley and go up but promotion in itself is more important for the long-term financial situation.

Oh absolutely, I'm speaking as a fan first and foremost - rather than a businessman.

I'm not the type to not want promotion - of course I do - but equally more Championship is also fine. But I understand the money could be transformative.

No. Would I like promotion? Sure. Do I want a day at Wembley? Definitely.

My order of preference is:

Win at Wembley
Lose at Wembley
Promotion.

Promotion, even with instant relegation, would set us up to compete at the top end of the championship for several years. Without sounding pessimistic, I just can’t see us being in this position again anytime soon should we lose

Kind of feel the same. On the other selfish point of view will I have the chance to see City at Wembley again. Long term it’s best for the clubs future so I’ll take the auto promotion but I want my money back from someone <laugh>
 
Looking at the online map for available seats there are still plenty available.
More blocks appear to be made available as other blocks fill up.
I imagine quite a few people will be waiting on the outcome of Southampton's disciplinary before committing to making a purchase.
Or some have thumbed their nose at it already due to the shenanigans going on with the EFL and this Committee and aren't prepared to take a risk on transport and accommodation.

As an aside and partially related,does anyone have any knowledge of how Southampton's sales are progressing given their situation(albeit they're a great deal closer and a cancellation wouldn't affect them as much as it would us)?

If I were them I wouldn’t buy yet.

It looks like they've opened another couple of blocks up heading towards the half way line in the South Stand but there's still a yawning gap between that and the Southampton allocation.

I don’t know if these were on sale from the get go or not but they’re prime seats on the half way line for a lot of people so would be surprising they’d hold on to them til last.

The central blocks always go on sale last, it's in case one team sells more then the other and they can allocate blocks accordingly.
 
Not saying you’re right or wrong , but quality post !

Well that’s me .

On Holiday in Cornwall with the worst connectivity ever .

You hope the result of the enquiry ends up positive for you , you are totally innocent in this .

I hope it works out as well as can be expected for us .

Thanks for the decent discussions.

Until probably Friday ( When I’m back home ) .
