YATESY

Thats the next panic! Roll forward 2 weeks and WW will be full of panic from users needing to know who has received delivery of tickets!

Assume those 8,000 extra tickets are in the no-mans-land on the half way line?

Back-up to Robbo, so Alonso doesn't exist then? JLS is shite, good riddance and I hope he only returns to the Reebok to clear his locker in the summer. JLS will be remembered mostly for slotting that own goal against United. A very composed side footer back across Jussi just inside the far post when under no pressure whatsoever..

No

is that a fact or a rumour? I know someone who works for BWFC and he hasn't been offered anything.

It is. I realised an hour ago I was one short. Nice and quiet now. Got through straight away, a seat next to one end of our row was still available. In fact it took longer reading out the client reference numbers to find the one that had the second unused allocation on it.

?28 on Wembley Stadium or one of the other internet parking companies?

Sorry chaps, you mis-read my line, and reading it back I could have written it better. I was saying that TicketMaster deserve plenty of praise too. I've slagged them off in the past but well done. Well done to BWFC for out-sourcing this function which then has probably freed up time to help with the queries that No Balls mentions. Well done all round. The City and Stoke fans at work are gutted. They've a weekend of doing physical queueing to look forward to!

All the kids in our group have season tickets, its the mates who are the hangers on

Realistic Its far better having a guaranteed view of the pitch, even though given that the viewing angle isn't the best, than trying to balance a 8 year old stood on a seat whilst holding a 5 year old to see over / past everyone who is stood up in front. I've done it twice at away games with the lads and now I sacrifice the better viewing angle to accomodate.

It could be easier. It'll only be 1 per season ticket holder and you'll simply be glad to just get any seat that's offered

Great play of fate has come on our side. 8 kids in our group, so we wanted front row seats for a good view and remove the risk of standing up. Had our eye on the ?40 tickets right at the front of the lower tier but after 45 minutes waiting to get to the on-line system found that they didn't seem to be any. Anyhow, got timed out in trying to locate these tickets and then internet connection crashed. So had to start again with the crawling waiting bar. Meanwhile the constant pressing of redial on the phone followed by pressing 1-1-2, finally produced a ringing sound. The man from TicketMaster is the man! The front row seats we were aiming for are only available to telephone callers and they had plenty left! Jobs a good 'un. As for people saying well done BWFC, I assume you are praising them for out-sourcing to TicketMaster?

sacked off the on-line and rang up, and what a result - jobs a good 'un

Some tickets are only available on the phone, e.g. the thin band of ?40 tickets at the front of the lower tier

Lofthouse features in the Times today, article is about Crouch aiming to join Lofthouse, Finney and Shearer on 30 goals. What caught my eye though was Nat's stats, which make him Englands best striker ever (based on minimum of 30 goals): Charlton 49 goals in 106 games at 0.46 goals per game with a goal every 193 mins Lineker 48 goals in 80 games at 0.6 goals per game with a goal every 136 mins Greaves 44 goals in 57 games at 0.77 goals per game with a goal every 117 mins Owen 40 goals in 89 games at 0.45 goals per game with a goal every 155 mins Lofthouse 30 goals in 33 games at 0.91 goals per game with a goal every 95 mins Finney 30 goals in 76 games at 0.39 goals per game with a goal every 229 mins Shearer 30 goals in 63 games at 0.48 goals per game with a goal every 182 mins

Lots of add-ons Homer. Sure I saw that it could rise to over ?4M if he achieves them all.

my thread title earlier this week was a far better play on words: JOB for Megson I'll get my coat

The page on the official site talks about 10 at a time as that is the length of a row of seats. You then need to go back to selecting a block to attempt to get all your seats together in one block

Read the bit on the official site about picking 10 at a time. That explains things

It's impossible to get through at quiet times

Its worse than trying to buy Take That tickets for the Mrs

It is madness. Imagine queueing for hours to buy your tickets and then being told that ?5.25 will now be added to your purchase price for the tickets to be posted to your home address

As for "most expensive" we come back to initial signing on fee v total cost over the length of a contract, e.g. Petrov's cost if he stays for say 3 years

Doesn't sound like anything too serous: "Bolton midfielder Davies is also nursing a niggle."
