Same could be said for most games. I went to every away game bar Sunderland last year and not a credit to my name
I and quite a a few others are in the same boat, did 17 last season and all 19 the season before.
Quote from: Harvest Fields
i watched the chelsea game at my sisters. her 12 year old son is severly autistic and i forgot myself and jumped up screaming at the goal and he went nuts. screaming and shouting. scared the fuck out of me. apologised to my sister as i thought id upset him, turns out he was joining in.

Would it be better for them to be collection only for a few seasons in the person's name? Would it fall low enough for people who actually go week in week out to get there own credits?

Might mean 2/3 season's of not being able to go but better in the long run

I think ideas such as this were suggested but as yet we don't know if there will be any changes. Until they announce Watford which sold out high and yet was full of people who clearly weren't used to aways

For small away allocations, they should just do on-the-day collections at the ground with photo id.  If they did that, watch Bournemouth drop to well below 19 credits being required.
]
It will still be minimum a 1,000 tickets and a logistical nightmare as those if us that experienced this when they went to Ausburg when you had all day to collect will attest to.

The only solution is randomly at checkout pick 100 tickets flag that they are going to be collection and make them pick up then it might work.

I'm monitoring that the purchase histories are updated - if anyone hasn't had a letter or their purchase history is not updated then let me know.

Another Union success.

we have received our letters - well done! Our purchase history not updated yet either.

Personally I'd like to see SOS push the club for transparency now for away games. What I mean by that is the club disclosing how the allocation is distributed among the different groups, also setting out how many supporters have X amount of credits at the start of each season wouldn't do any harm either. The way it is now gives people reason to believe they've something to hide. If clubs like Man Utd can do this, there's no reason why we can't.

They put in the supporters comittee notes that someone had raised that this still hadn't been released, despite them saying it woud.. They said it would follow soon I think!

Seriously when are they going to release Watford details? If the Watford website wasn't showing nothing as well I would think they are making lots of changes to away game sales.

See the recent SC Minutes and you'll see it has been promised for a couple of years - all of this dropping into TB's lap now to press them on.

So your communication with the club regarding this was through SOS and not through your role on the supporters committee?

Blurred roles but all the meetings I had were driven by SOS members who were affected by it and as we knew the SC was dying from February so SOS is starting to step up to the plate now the Club is finally formally recognising us in its new engagement process with guaranteed seats on all of the fora.

I suspect this is why Watford is starting on 19, when 18 would surely be guaranteed. They want to test that this actually works before the Bournemouth game.

Unless of course, Watford is starting on 19 because more tickets are being syphoned away.

Watford has started on 19 for the last few seasons. 18 hasn't been guaranteed tickets.

Fair enough.

However, we got almost 100 tickets less for Swansea last season, than what we have got for Watford now. So given the minimal allocation for Bournemouth, 18 should be guaranteed. Unless tickets go missing

Stoke have just increased their capacity to over 30,000.
Arsenal have received 3,257. Last season we received 2,847. An increase of 410 tickets. Our fixture is Wednesday 29th November so the requirements should drop.

Something like this or 10% of tickets to be collected like Man United did wouldn't half set the the cat amongst the pigeons.

This could bring Stoke into the Southampton Leicester Newcastle realm which means if it goes below 12 it will drop like a stone and those on 4 credits might get fixed up.

That's outrageous, surely that's been reduced by the Met, as West Ham had troubles all season in a new stadium last season, and Spurs v Chelsea is arguably one of the most heated London Derby's so it could be possible tickets have been taken away for segregation.

Also be interesting to see where the away end actually is, as England keep changing the away end every 5 minutes!

The ruling for the allocation of away tickets in the Premier League is as follows: “3,000 tickets or, if the capacity of the home club’s stadium is less than 30,000, such number of tickets as is equal to 10 per cent.”

Tottenham Hotspur are to make the minimum required 3,000 tickets available to Premier League away fans at Wembley next season.

The club has announced that Blocks 112-117 will be allocated for away fans during the course of the 2017-18 campaign.

Which would mean more tickets for hospitality most likely and less for general fans, be cutting back almost 3000 every game because if i'm right there are hospitality tickets in the lower annie road?

A cap of 3000 away seats is reasonable PROVIDED the home club can show that they will fill all remaining seats with home fans.  At Anfield that is certainly the case. Remains to be seen whether Spurs will be selling out their home end. If not, then this stinks.
