So, if we sold every available space, that’s about £250,000 to cover wages this season. That’s gonna be tough for the owners. Let's not forget, at some point over the next few months, the restrictions will ease and the capacity increase.

Just renewed my dad's ticket. He's relatively fit for someone heading for 80, but I hope that when they are able to say how many people can sit in the main stand (oddly it's a council decision so presumably the answer will be zero) they will prioritise it for senior citizens and perhaps those who can't stand up for long periods. I rang the office by the way - usual excellent service and chat Edit to add: It's great that these moves are happening. PL clubs haven't even got a plan to open 10% of their capacity yet and the season starts in four weeks! I guess tv coverage and clubs' own broadcasting softens the blow a bit, but for the 22k season ticket holders at Leeds, there is much anxious debate about who will get a sniff of the 25% (roughly 9.5k) capacity when spectators are allowed back.

Bill Williams just tweeted 250 sold in the first 2 hours. Pretty good going I'd say.

I'll even be happy to pay the upgrade, consider it a donation, and then let the Club allocate the Main Stand seating without me 'taking' my seat at least until restrictions are removed.

OAP's, Students etc. I know I'm repeating myself but I would remind people that ticket prices include VAT. That's over £40,000 of the total quoted above and that's before the 'credit/debit card, banking charges' and concessions are taken into account.

11,532 capacity hovel available for hire nearby but is it worth how bad you'll feel afterwards? Going there is the equivalent to waking up next to an 8 pinter... (or so I'm told)
