The club said that applications would be dealt with strictly by order of date of submission. How come some STHs who submitted after the Swansea game got tickets whilst STHs who submitted on the evening of game didnt?

I got mine than thankfully.

The exact question I have asked the club in my letter.

Mine has not even been opened yet and there are many others the same.

Not true in all cases.

I'm an STH, submitted my app at the Swansea game and got one.

Admittedly, the whole thing does seem to be very random and inconsistent, to say the least.

A flawed application system, incorrectly executed. Brilliant.

It seems like there might have been a cock-up somewhere along the line.

Probably got some post bags mixed up!

Perhaps the bin inside the ground got priority over the bin outside the ground....

???

Well mine went in the one outside the ground.

I think there is something very wrong here - how can I be told I have not got one when the application was not opened.

logically this doesnt explain why some post Swansea apps were successful though.

Priority scheme as implemented...

1. Post Moday
2. Post Tuesday
3. Bin inside the ground
4. Post Wednesday
Announcement - everyone who applied via bin at ground will get ticket.
5. Post Thursday
6. Post Friday
7. Oh shit - we forgot the bin outside the ground that's still in xxxxx's car boot.
8. Rest of applicants.

???

but you might find that your application is allocated mate.
You could well still get a ticket.

That's what I said yesterday. Someone somewhere lost one of the bins/boxes at Withdean.

Ours went in the bin INSIDE the ground.
