This.surely a plus one for each STH would have been enough.

I hardly think a 8yr season ticket holder assuming they should get priority over someone who has never been to game before to be over-inflated. Perfectly reasonable gripe if you ask me.
Don't get me started.
I see what the club has TRIED to go, but surely a plus one for each STH would have been enough.
The plus 3 is a JOKE.
If I get an under 18 ticket for my lad but on occasions he cannot make a game and an over 18 uses his ticket is there a facility to "upgrade" the seat for that game to an adult?
Let's do some maths. All based on complete SURMISE.
Assume 2,000 people in priority Group 1 (probably less).
Assume that 20 per cent of these have bought into a 1901 Club option. This leaves 1,600 people in priority Group 1.
Assume that the average number of 'friends and family' that will buy a season ticket in the Priority Group 1 + 3 deal is 1.5 per STH.
This means that 4,000 Season Tickets will be shifted at this first stage.
These will be spread around 3 stands in the ground. That's an average of 1,333 seats sold in each stand. Most of these will be in the East and West Stands - meaning that about 1,000 seats in the North Stand (the smallest) will have been sold at this first stage.
It also means that MOST of the seats in all three stands WON'T have been sold in the first tranche of selling.
This whole binfest is just like what happened when seats went on sale for the play-off final in Cardiff. NSC was "reliably" informed by several scaremongers that "if you don't get in the queue before 10.00am, you won't get a ticket". Utter TOSH. Everyone who wanted a ticket got one. Even those who applied by post or phone or who walked into the ticket office several days late got one.
Well, Let's say that your calculations are about accurate. I would like to go in the north stand but my appointment is not till 4th Feb as a cat 4. By that time a possible 1000 of the 2500 may have been sold as you say. Not a problem you may think BUT those 1000 would obviously have taken the central and back row seats.
You'll only be able to get a beer at half time if you're at the FRONT of the north stand.Well, Let's say that your calculations are about accurate.

I know I am being a bit petulant here but yes it would f*** me off to know that sitting in the better places seats in the north stand is a selection of JCLs, newbies and part timers.
In the grand scheme of things it isn't important but I have to be honest and say that it would piss me off a bit.
I'm a priority 4, but booked into the very first P4 presentation.
10.30? The phone lines will probably open at 9am, so get around the tour and sign those forms quickly, eh?
