[Albion] The Southampton golden ticket poll

[Bozza]

Almost all of the people that have died of it (yes, of it, not the ones you see on the BBC who have had a ‘positive test’ within 28 days of dying) would have statistically died this year anyway, these are people with pre morbidities, very old, who have low vitamin D levels and would’ve most likely died of a flu like virus anyway. It’s no coincidence that flu deaths have plummeted this year, they’ve been replaced with Covid.

This is utter horseshit and not welcome on this site.

Excess deaths in this country are, again, running way above the 5-year average. Many, many people are dying who would otherwise have a lot of life ahead of them.

To dismiss them as "well, they were going to die soon anyway" is crass and cruel to the tragedies striking numerous families every single day due to this ******* virus.

Please desist from writing such shit on here.

Would be nice if the thread stuck to the subject title...particularly as I’ve banned myself from the Covid forum

It’s not horseshit and you are welcome to your opinion.

I’m not dismissing any death. What worries me is that if the government really cared about saving lives, they would make sure everyone has enough vitamin D, and yet they don’t.

It will all come to light eventually. The government have massively overblown the whole thing unfortunately, which will lead to more deaths in the long run

I’ll refrain from speaking about it anymore for now.

 

[Sheebo]

Has anyone been lucky on the exchange this weekend? Just curious...

 

[ChazzyBHA]

I’ve been trying all weekend, no luck unfortunately :/

It’s a match thread. Stop polluting it and any future match thread with your crap, forever not ‘for now.’

Yes. Just randomly refreshed and one came up.

Thrilled.

Keep the faith if you still want to go.

 

[Change at Barnham]

I bought a single 1901 ticket on the exchange yesterday morning.
I'll have to tell my missus that it was for two tickets when she sees the credit card statement.

 

[Albion Robster]

BOOM! Managed to bag a ticket after 48hrs of hitting the refresh button! I had a couple of close misses when I clicked on an available ticket and it was no longer available to buy.
All I can say, keep refreshing the website, morning, noon and night and you ‘should’ lucky!

In my haste to get the ticket I paid on my card even though I have credit with the club. I didn’t see an option to pay with credit.

So pumped to be going back to The Amex even more so as I was priority window 3.

UTA! ��️��

Congratulations. Don't worry, you didn't miss out. There is no option to pay with credit on the ticket exchange.

I notice that Tuesday is the draw date for the Sheffield United game on 20 Dec. With the possibility of Sussex being in Tier 1 by matchday, how do you think the club will allocate the numbers in the priority groups?

Ticket sales opened to MyAlbion+ members (like me) on Friday morning at 9am. There were a few of the disabled helper seats available to all, so grabbed one of those (albeit had to ring the club as I kept getting error messages online which pointed - correctly - at a system issue at their end; went on the live chat and they quickly gave up, giving me the phone number and telling me there was no queue!). Whilst I'm sat right at the very front, in front of the normal seats, so in the firing line for rain or wayward balls booted off the pitch, I was just very grateful to be able to attend. I went to the Chelsea friendly in August and it was very well organised, so had no hesitation for trying to attend a match this month. For the friendly, of course, there was a slight difference in that you didn't need to wear a mask when sat in the "bowl", and alcohol was served. I rarely drink at matches anyway so that won't bother me...

Exactly the same as Southampton as 2000 is the current limit. Whether or not they have a back up plan for an extra 2000 depends on whether that would be achievable in the short time scale between the 16th and the 20th.

 

[Official Old Man]

Twickenham. Is Rugby exempt from the rules?
Understand beer is permitted in the stand normally, but fans still drinking into extra time? How many meals will he have eaten. Plus no social distancing.

Could be, but it might make more sense to restrict Group 2 to 2,000.

Keeping checking the website occasionally hoping for a return or cancellation.

I did think the distancing was poor at the Irish-Sale game I’ve just been to today, just one seat gap so fans were taking it on themselves to space better than that, grateful for the extra efforts at the club on this front for tomorrow.

You can call the truth ‘crap’ all you want mate. People were replying to what I was saying, so maybe have a go at them too?

I’m just trying to defend my position. That alright with you?

I was told I was speaking ‘horseshit’ and was told that there is a massive increase in excess because of Covid, but I disagree. 26,000 more people than usual died in private homes in England and Wales between March and September, but only 3% of were because of Covid, the other 97% was, I guess, because of the lockdown.

No, I wasn’t planning talking about Covid on match threads, but people do like to ask, so I’m not going to ignore.

 

[Sheebo]

Maybe group 1 2,000 and group 2 4,000 - assuming the initial 2,000 are sold out if we did go to tier 1 the groups will probably mean nothing they’ll just add the 2k onto the ticket site.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Where's my email, 24 hrs before the game yet no email I want to confirm my health.

Edit it here hurrah
