Last chance to enter the raffle, tournament takes place this Saturday in Kirby Muxloe. Preference to buy raffle tickets ahead of the day where possible.

This is another huge opportunity for fans voices to actually be heard. The Trust are doing a good job over the last couple of years in shaking things up and being more vocal towards the club as well as listening to the wider fanbase. Don't pass the opportunity. The club will hate seeing negativity on them when it has come from not just a few hundred fans, but thousands. Strength in numbers.

Well written survey and it catches all the points that fans have made throughout the season and been frustrated with.

Sold out?

How can it be sold out? Everyone who was successful in the ballot is guaranteed a ticket. There are 3,000 people choosing from about 8,000 seats.

Obviously the longer you wait, the less choice of seats there will be and you only have until the end of today to buy.

My brother and I have the opportunity to get season tickets, my dad who we have always gone with since we were young had a heart attack earlier in the year isn't keen on going back atm but encouraged us to try in the ballot. Me and my brother spoke last night and we both said we aren't ready to give up on going without our dad and settled for we would just buy tickets as and when no matter the cost whether it's for 2 of us or 3 of us. However, if we got season tickets, am I right in saying there's a chance we could get our dad a ticket for when he does want to go? But you can't guarantee it would be next to us?

To save you a load of money, I would buy 2 season tickets. Then when your dad wants to go you can either buy a single nearby (not guaranteed to be next to you) or for those individual games you can phone the club up and relocate your two season ticket seats so all 3 can sit together (if there are 3 together obviously which for most games next season should be OK).

Bottom line, I wouldn't pass the opportunity of getting those 2 season tickets unless money is no object.

Sat at home on my own and watched it, remember it being quite a cold and rainy day. Didn't think we would win it, speechless when we did. Wife said 'we should probably go for a drink' as I was speechless for hours after ft, got the train to St Albans and sat in a freezing cold covid pub area and had a few Guinness. Went to a pottery making class and made a mug saying 'FA CUP WINNERS 2021' the next day.

Doesn't feel like it ever happened as I did not attend a single match in the campaign.

You've got a mug to prove it!

Is there still room in the safe standing in sk1?  We were unsuccessful in the ballot to move there so presumed it was full

According to the club, no one was unsuccessful in the safe standing ballot. If you wanted to move over I would contact the ticket office/LCFC help because there should be enough space to accommodate. You can relocate at any point, not just in the specific windows.

Does anyone know if you can buy for all members in your application on Friday through one account or does it need to be done individually?

As long as all of your accounts are linked (Family and Friends) you should be able to buy them all. Pick your seats and assign the people as required.

I have a spare adult ticket for this if anyone needs it?

Based on that there are 871 available from a 3,032 safe standing spots (home only). Which is a little over 70%. Based on the renewal figure of 20K, just under 70% is occupied. So it's about on par (standing at seating) as it stands.

BUT no one has relocated into safe standing yet and there are still 3K of members to accommodate. I assume a lot of the members buying ST's will be safe standing over seating which will oversubscribe the areas before the first season. I imagine it will start moving into SK2 come 2026/27.

What a shower of ***** them lot are. In it for themselves and no one else. As long as they get their free cheese cobs and cups of tea down Seagrave three times a year all is well. What's the point in a statement like that.

You're confusing them with one of the other fan groups who get royal treatment from the club because they never say a bad word about them.

As much as this statement says very little, at least they are trying to challenge the club. Personally, I would like to see a bit more friction with the club because as always, they seem to be holding fan groups to ransom and getting their way.

Well thats just childish as everyone wants what is best for the club, shouldn't of given him the time of day. FWIW I really think UFS should be backing this protest and IMO would look worse if they didn't rather than did. 

To be fair there are multiple points to consider for this.

1. It's great to see others take a lead/initiative on this sort of thing and as a group, we don't feel it's right to barge in and take over.

2. Following on from point 1, the leader(s) of this also wouldn't want groups to get too involved.

3. As a group, we want to make sure this has value which meant biding our time a little bit to see how it evolves.

Bottom line, I do think the group (or at least majority of members) will support this but not front and centre. We will be present to join in but not steal anyone's thunder. The closer we get, the more we will talk internally about any plans.

8-0

What happens if we get relegated by the margin of any deducted points when there is no case to answer and it is overturned?

We stay up

It'll be a lot less then 38

I think so too

The formula needed for 38 points and probable safety. 

 

6 wins

6 draws

6 defeats. 

 

Would need to suddenly become a mid table side but it is possible. In all reality we need to become much harder to beat at home and win our games against bottom 6 rivals. 

When you put it like that it seems unachievable for us based on what we have seen so far. But the same will go for the others near us. The "6 pointers" are going to be decisive. Lose a few of them and we leave ourselves too much to do.

I thought this was going to be a post about Iron Maiden

You're right about the draw procedure notes, which state "In principle, the seeded clubs play the return leg matches at home". I was wrong to base my odds on the assumption that the order of home/away legs would be based on an open draw. 

 

The current CL table has Arsenal in 7th place. They're level on points with 9th at the moment, and are only 2 points above 17th. No idea which bracket they'll finish in based on this. 

 

So I'll withdraw my 75% number - it's more complicated than that, even before we try to figure out how likely a home Arsenal first leg against an unknown opponent is to be given a Tuesday date rather than a Wednesday. 

 

For me, broadcasters should be forced to have more respect for fans. They shouldn't be allowed to put a match with this much uncertainty into the Saturday early slot, as our KO time might not be known with any certainty as late as 1 Feb, 11 days before the match!

I do think UEFA take into account match scheduling of the participating teams so there have to be no changes to games following. It should only be a last resort putting Arsenal on the Wednesday before (likely a very small chance). That said, even a small chance means it could still happen.

If Arsenal are in the CL playoff round, there's a 75% chance that our game stays at 12:30pm:

 

50% chance Arsenal get drawn away for that leg.

 

Then from there, it's a 50% chance their game gets put on the Wednesday, rather than the Tuesday. 

 

So only a 25% chance that we move to 8pm.

 

Another wrinkle: If 'Same Old, Always Cheating' do get drawn away for that leg, we'll need to wait til CL TV fixtures get confirmed to know which date their CL game is on (won't be immediately after the draw, but would expect this by the 1st of Feb) 

In reality the odds take into account many other factors around which countries teams are from, how that affects policing, the other teams match schedules etc. etc.

Even if we use your logic, Arsenal are almost guaranteed to finish at least 16th or higher. Place 9 to 16 play away first, it's not an open draw. Therefore, your first point is actually 100%. Arsenal will be away first.

West Ham, Brighton and Wolves I believe. Although once they are in, not sure if there is much point removing them (but maybe they will).

So why hasn't there been an announcement yet? Media reports suggest we haven't got an agreement with anybody...

Which is what I find weird. I wouldn't expect an announcement minutes after the sacking but a few days after and before the next match would make sense. Why not after United when we had 2 weeks to bed someone in?

Cooper could have been sacked weeks ago. I am convinced that he got sacked yesterday because the club had lined the next manager up now and were happy to pull the trigger. Otherwise it's just weird timing after a 2 week international break against a title contender.
