Brave to select Nottingham as one of these venues, others in London S / West look reasonable choices.

So Dartford may make some much needed money whereas we can’t. If they’re trialling this surely other clubs with friendlies should be allowed the same 400 that can watch Herne Bay week in week out.

Very good point,I didnt even consider the fact that they will make money from it whilst everyone else gets shafted. It's not really acceptable is it.

Pause a minute and consider that fourth fixture... Notts County v York City - how the mighty have fallen. Impossible to imagine back in the LR days.

Yep, in practice they could turn up at any time during the game so there space has to be reserved. Now if there is demand - and a willingness for the club to organise - perhaps non-attending ST holders would offer the club the opportunity to re-sell their space/seat. Worth pointing out also that at Leeds it has already been announced that plans are afoot for ST holders to get maybe three or four games each in total this season and if you're not available for the ones you get let in for it's tough. No transfers or swaps allowed. For clarity, Leeds had almost 23k season ticket holders last season and there have been no sales to new applicants this season hence the rationing. 23,000 ST holders at Leeds? I've been to Leeds, and this does not compute... But seriously - this must be a common problem with the better supported clubs. I knew a Newcastle fan many years ago, before the improvements at St James' Park, who had several STs, which he renewed each year, despite the fact that he lived in Kent and couldn't get to most home games. At that time, Newcastle had so many more fans wanting to watch games than could get in, that there was a waiting list for STs that took you years to get to the top of. There was a thriving black market in STs, with tickets changing hands for many times their face value - there were a lot of ST holders at Newcastle with differnt names on their tickets to their own! I think the club are charging non-season ticket holders who aren't members £10 to join the membership (not season ticket) waiting list as well as there are an additional 25k or so Members who get first bite of the match by match tickets (which there will be none of for the foreseeable future). So if you joined this scheme in August, there are almost 50,000 people in the queue for a ticket ahead of you. There are roughly 14,000 non ST seats per game less corporate/grassroots/complimentary etc. It's literally a case of "yer names not down so you're not coming in".

Season ticket holders check your email as you need to reply what stand you want to be in for coming season ( if it starts with danger of another lock down)

Season ticket holders check your email as you need to reply what stand you want to be in for coming season ( if it starts with danger of another lock down) Nothing in my inbox or spam folder... Dear Season Ticket holder Thank you for your purchase of a ground season ticket for the upcoming season, starting Tuesday 6 October against Welling. As I am sure you are aware, the ground is going to look different in its set-up, for the start of the season at last. Not only is the total capacity now 1255, we have been advised that the ground has to be split into three specific areas: The Manchett Main Stand, the Genco Stand and the Town End. No other areas of the ground are allowed to be used as viewing areas until the guidance is relaxed. You will be able to walk to the bars and toilets allocated to your stand, but you will not be able to go from the Genco Stand to the Town End at half-time for example. For this reason, we will need to allocate you either a Genco Stand season ticket, or a Town End stand season ticket. With this in mind, can you let us know, by 8am, Thursday 24 September what your preference is. So please can you have a chat within your fan group and decide where you would most like to watch the game (socially distanced) and email us back stating either Genco or Town End. If we have not heard back from you by then we will choose a stand for you. Hopefully this will be a short-term measure and some semblance of normality will return sooner rather than later Regards MUFC Maybe contact them unless you don't mind what part of the ground you go

Wonder why I haven't had this? As someone who sits pretty much in the middle of the MS, this is not an easy question! Come to think of it, perhaps that's the answer - maybe they're dealing with seated STs differently?

You've answered your own question... It clearly states ground season ticket on the email and you have just said you sit in the stand.... Could be why you've not received it.. Don't worry, this pandemic is getting to us all 😁

Don't worry, this pandemic is getting to us all 😁 They are all ground STs at the moment. They are looking at giving us MS holders some sort of seating option, but nothing has happened yet, and we haven't yet paid any more, so my ST is still just a ground ticket. Not that I've actually got my ticket yet!
