I sit in the GML with my old man and a few mates. One of us were automatically allocated a seat in the GMU but not the rest, had to ring up and sort.
Guessing the plan was to automatically assign every GML ST holder a seat in the GMU but clearly didn’t work.
No idea if it’s sold out or not as seats were never available to buy online there.
Given 666 has bought a ticket in the gmu it’s probably a mixture mo
A lot of gml st holders may have opted for seats in the kop or lower Tiilton standing
Category 2 worse been sold after the rehousing of gml
I looked last week and there was gmu seats for sale under category 2
Ah okay interesting - I tired online throughout priority 1 as couldn’t be bothered to wait in a queue on the phone but they were never available for me to buy at least.
madYou are the nuttiest loon I know. That’s intended as a compliment btwI wonder if the reason they didn't do half season tickets this year (which seemed to me a no brainer a few weeks ago) is because they're going to relocate Main Stand upper season ticket holders next season? Or is it because they're going to price games so high next season they'll have to give 3000 to the away team?

There's a bloke I sit near at the Bears often. Old chap, tattered but high quality clothing, wears either a bobble hat or a sun bleached baseball cap, and sits there all day with a cushion, plank of wood felt tips and an A3 refill pad making the most beautiful cricket scorecards I've ever seen. Tracks every ball, players name, wicket time, duration of each batsman's innings and everything.
I like to imagine mad is that man.
I have nowhere near the concentration required for scoring. I admire those that do it though. The idea of just setting aside the numbers and everything (not worrying about the score since runs accrued and wickets extracted IMHO are a very secondary aspect of the contest between bat and ball). Cricket scoreboards should be designed in such a way that you only have to look at it once when you arrive and glace once more at it as you leave and you have everything you need to enjoy the afternoon absorbing all the other elements of live gladiatorial combat. I imagine scoring to be one way to park that element of the game in the mid of some folks. In their mind they are then free to fully take in every other aspect of being. A couple of hours where you have to keep tabs on the scoreboard or your smartphone to keep abreast of things as trivial as 'sets (sic) remaining' or 'DLS target' let alone the 'no of referrals' FFS! is the antithesis of this

Sounds like Carl
MiguelagennIt's a good barometer for where we are at the moment. For all the comments about away tickets, we're not quite the draw some of us seem to think we are.
I've just looked online and only single seats are available now, tickets must've been flying out the door this morning. Whilst we're winning consistently we are a draw, but it'll be interesting to see what happens when we hit a rough patch.
Yep the remaining 150 or so will likely be gone tonight. Let's see if GML then opens up. Newcastle sold out their allocation a week ago and have access to '12' at £246 a pop
DanWas assuming they'd pop up block by block from right to left like they do in a league game. They may have decided as others have suggested not to bother opening it at all though which would be akin to Blues turning down 900/1000 lots of thirty-five quid so would surprise me a bithow would there suddenly be seats in the GML for Blues?
there's no official word on how many tickets they;ve been allocated unless I;ve missed it?
heard 4500 but the GML holds more than that
Yep either they've given the whole circa 5,800 Lower Gil Merrick to Newcastle or they haven't. If they haven't the only reasonable reason they won't open GML end blocks up to Blues fans is to not hurt the feelings of ST holders in there and Priority 2 folks who've not had chance to purchase there. If that's the case sod their feelings get the ground filled I say
