Maybe 4,500 tickets to be announced Monday. Will it be another corporate stitch up? Or a once in a lifetime chance for those who missed out on Ipswich? youtu.be/qH69kUcvo1c?si=VaDPVBH9b2BzFftpIn the meantime, our hosts have a song that puts mawkish YNWA or Bubbles to shame. |

I'd be shocked if we sell all our allocation for a Monday game.

Corporate stitch up? Or people who have pumped thousands into our club through sponsorship over the years? |

The Chelsea fan I met has never pumped so much as a penny into Maidstone United. He was given a freebie.

Coventry do a lot of pay on the gate at games

I honestly think it would be better to just let Coventry sell our allocation on their website. Season ticket holders and executive boxes had 80% last time. Forget favours for mates and hours of queuing. If it’s not going to sell out, do it like we’ve joined the 21st century.

At the Hemel game the announcer said it would be around lunchtime.

Might be even less available for Stones supporters. And why shouldn’t season tickets have priority, surely there has to be some advantage to it. |

You could say that about any game. The point is, if they’re not going to sell out, just make it easy to buy them. It’s seems unlikely 4500 neutral midlands fans are going to buy them all.

It's a sad indictment of football at the highest levels that it is now all about the money. Last year's final between the two clubs based in the same city in the north west got just 30,500 tickets each. On that basis if Leeds were by some miracle able to get to the final I would still be in a lottery to get the opportunity to buy a ticket even as a season ticket holder for 35 years.

£11 for me. Weird when the ticket price is probably the least expensive part of the day... |
