Am I on the right lines here?

Adding Club Wembley and a few hundred speculative purchases in the Wycombe section we've now probably sold around 50,000 tickets. There are loads waiting for general sale and less than 300 Sunderland tickets possibly available.


In the meantime Wycombe are advertising the fact they've only sold around 16,000 tickets with General Sale starting 10am on Monday. There are no restrictions whatsoever and each person can buy two tickets. The 16000 so far will no doubt include Sunderland who are inadvertently pushing up Wycombe's sales and possibly allocation.

IMO it would only take a couple of thousand Sunderland, in the Wycombe General Sale section, to present possible problems. If they're all in one block they'll quickly become known to each other and become more boisterous. A few scattered around would sit on their hands, a couple of thousand won't especially as they're likely to be lads who don't care where they are.

Is this a balls up and who's to blame?

If that happens it is 100% their chairman’s fault and I really hope the EFL have had a word with them already.

Are we expecting to be issued more for general sale, this has been a total balls up given the size of crowds both get. They should’ve been given a25k section from the start and the rest to us barring the usual to corporate.

FFS man, I was creased at this from the Wycombe forum, if it wasn't them I'd think it was a wind up <laugh>

"There was a demo recently by a guy from La Media Inglesa via Phil C. Basically, fold scarf in half, grab it about a quarter of the way up and twirl like crazy. Kind of like the old rattles, before they were banned."

TBF we were allocated less than our last home game, they got more than twice theirs.

Happily we'll soon have access to theirs as well <laugh>

wimbledon away a couple of months ago. A big group we’re in te Wimbledon end next to the away end when it soon became clear they were all lads fans. A few got turfed out then practically the whole block got up and walked/were asked to leave. That was a **** match. But if we take a block at Wimbledon, we will have big pockets of fans in their section next Sat’da. Too many to kick out. They’ll have to resegregate their section, leaving a few daft bar codes stuck in the middle getting pelleted.

You get what you ask for

I’ve heard the same from a lad that has a ticket there, he got it through a mate that bought a box., he said at least two thirds but aye, a huge following.

I'm a bit surprised at the moaning on some places about the tickets, yes a perfect seat and view would be ideal, but surely the biggest thing is that your in the ground?

I logged on this morning and if able (I'm not till tomorrow) I could have got 5 tickets sat together in the very top section. Not the best from what I can gather but better than missing out?

I sat in the lower bowl, row 8 on the halfway line for the Tradesmens entrance final a few years ago, atmosphere was totally ****, a look up to the upper decks and that's where all the fun was being had. I'm up stairs this time around.

Lads..... a toast to you all. We've seen some ****e times over the past few years, both football and other worldly events. We've lost loved ones. People say "don't like football me", well i feel sorry for them all, because it beings people together, magical moments aswell as rancid pig meat moments. Though we may never meet, I'd like to raise a glass of something to each and every one of you because even though this is a football forum, both here and over the road, we're all connected by a team that's on its way to London next weekend. Win or loose, let's make sure on Sunday morning, everyone knew the Red and White army were in town. NOW HA'WAY THE ****IN LADS!!!!

Amen to that, it's up to us all to be part of the show, not just sitting by watching.

I'll have my best Scottish cap on, singing my head off and showing London we're just as mad as '73 .... Haway!!!!!

* For anyone meeting up at the Argyle for a pint or collecting tickets this is me and my cap ...

... just not quite together in this case <laugh>
