My understanding is that “complying” involves creating a business plan that we have to agree to and stick to. That would be almost impossible surely, for a club who don’t know if they’re going to get promoted. At a time of possible change, we wouldn’t want to be tied to a legally binding business plan if we didn’t have to be.

It gave me a headache reading that statement. Not sure I understand it. Is it like the police searching someone’s house without a search warrant, finding drugs, but not being able to prosecute because they didn’t have a search warrant?

Can anyone update on availability ?

I agree. I'm a STH but was a member for years before that. As a STH if there's a match I want to go to I buy tickets the minute the window opens, or at the first available opportunity. No one should need more than 24 hours.

I think more will pop up as the club staff hand theirs back

hopefully moaning about being beaten by Leicester

True - but unless you are retired, unemployed, or can take annual leave at short notice, midweek evening games can be difficult. So it's no surprise to me that of the 20-something thousand fans who attend home games, 6000 of them are keen to go to Stamford Bridge on a Sunday afternoon.

The odd ticket will reappear if you're prepared to refresh the screen every few minutes

I'm not surprised. For a lot of us, we'll never get to go to grounds like Stamford Bridge, because despite being a STH for nearly 5 years, I'll never have enough points for league away tickets (if we actually get promoted). Cup games are the only chance.

leave it till 2pm when members can buy, and see how you feel when you see the tickets disappearing. If you're not bothered, then you don't really want to go!

I think I'm going to try that next time too. Did it offer you decent tickets?

No way!!

Tickets will reappear, they always do. I think some get allocated to staff, who then decide they don't want them. I also think people choose a ticket and put it in their basket, so it disappears from the screen. But then for whatever reason they decide not to pay for it, so it goes back on the system. In the time I've been typing this, 2 have appeared in SU2 and 4 in SU1 !

My advice for members would be to grab the tickets that look the worst! I spent 5 minutes trying to get good seats in SU4 and 5, but the pressure for seats meant that they disappeared each time I clicked on them. So I went to SU1 and it was easier.

I think you could probably do this at the shop or on the phone, but the website won't let you.

I think it'll probably get to members this afternoon, but it'll be a scrap!

It's a total bunfight - took me ages to buy tickets because each time I clicked on available tickets, I got a message saying they were unavailable. I'm guessing a lot of STHs with high points have been waiting for SU4 and 5 to open. Managed to get seats in SU1. Actually wishing I'd waited for SU6 because they're better seats, but I didn't want to risk it. Literally couldn't click the computer mouse fast enough before someone else got there first!

Can someone post an up to date picture showing what’s left and what’s still to be opened? I’m in the all STH category for 8am tomorrow, thanks

I googled train strikes and couldn’t see anything for that weekend

Can someone who already has access send a picture of the stadium plan ? Thanks

By who? It’s not been published anywhere

The commentators said QPR and Sunderland, but surely if he’s got a 2 match ban it would be Bournemouth and QPR?

Whatever it was that Cags did to upset Rodgers. If that hadn't happened, we'd have played Cags last season and stayed up.

Can anyone tell me how this is looking? Will it get to “all STHs”?

Everyone makes mistakes!
