Is that true? My understanding is that the rail seats will be installed, leaving the current seats in place is inherently more dangerous with just a rail added.

They lock them in Europe as in Germany (for example) they allow for 1.5 people per 'seat' when they are locked in place, they only get unlocked for European games where regulations state it must be 1 for 1. In the UK it's 1 for 1.

I'm pretty sure current regs in the UK do not allow for locks, so there will be a seat but doubt it will be very comfortable and obviously of not much use if everyone else is standing.

Unfortunately I'd guess it's just so they have more casual tickets to sell at a premium.

You've got to hope there is a space somewhere in the ground where two seats are available next to each other. Are you on the waiting list? Also my understanding is that if we get promoted no new season tickets will be released.

That of course completely ignores the fact that away members also get a match pick, and I'd imagine a significant amount of memberships were bought in the hope of getting a ticket for the Ipswich match.

They will know the time that the sale was live for, yes there will be outliers but they will have accurate enough data. I don't think anyone who is either a) not an away member or b) hasn't been to m/any away games this season can moan too much about not getting a ticket for the last game of the season considering there have been 22 other opportunities (in the league) to go to an away match.

So I have 🤦‍♂️

They will have accurate figures for how many people tried to access the the ticketing page, and I assume account for any call made around that time as a request for tickets. Pretty easy to monitor what's happened. I managed to get 3 this morning after having to give one up the other day because I could only get a single ticket.

I think the lino was miles behind play too, so he'd have been completely guessing which has definitely helped us in this situation.

Kabaddi too, which if I remember correctly is the most popular sport in the regions where cricket isn't number one. Commercially I understand the logic, but even then I'm not entirely sure how much exposure this will really grant across the sub continent. One of those which looks good on paper, but in reality will be difficult to gain from.

I'm not sure about Rowe being sold, or certainly not for the money we would hope to get for him. His injury record isn't ideal, and it would take a PL club to be prepared to risk significant money on a player who has yet to complete a full season as a pro. I also think a few more of these contracts would probably have been tied up already if the club knew they were definitely going to be playing in the Championship next season. As long as that Playoff place is on offer, I can understand why both clubs and players don't want to commit to new deals. As for Aboh, I'd imagine he has no guarantees he'd be playing a significant part in the first XI next season - and more than likely would be sent out on loan. The same probably applies if he signs for one of the big clubs, if his agent thinks he can get paid 5x or 10x what we're offering and essentially end up in exactly the same position, then I can understand why that would be tempting.

A big middle finger to all the armchair appeals panel experts.

That's your assumption, absolutely no one here knows the process the appeal panel goes through nor what guidelines they follow.
