Just far enough away from LDC
So my slipped disc has meant I have missed this. But in an attempt to reduce the man city fans in the east lower (and deprive the half and half scarf seller of income) I didnt put my ticket up for sale.

Nope, abroad but I have spent ages setting up the internet to enable me to watch the game. My confidence is rock bottom though

How would that work then your phone would have to be getting constant updates
It’s a system that has been used for concert tickets for ages now to try and stop touting. I’m surprised it took the club so long to implement it.

As for the technology, I’m sure there is some algorithm in there somewhere that allows the code to generate without a connection but which validates it Against the date and time.
 






I have just decided not to go.

I don't know what it is. Maybe it's this pi$$ing awful weather that has winter just dragging on, but I just can't get up for it.

Maybe it's the disappointment of having watched Groundhog Day football in the knowledge that we simply won't change our pattern of play - the definition of madness.

Maybe it's not seeing any goals.

Maybe it's the damp atmosphere at the Amex - I have much more of a laugh at the Dripping Pan terraces with a beer in my hand.

Maybe it's the corporate shiny veneer of Premier League football and the inevitability that you're never going to win anything. It's all been sewn up by the Arab States and Venture Capitalists that have bought the big teams.

Maybe it's just that a season that had so much possibility seems to have just been thrown away.

Maybe it's the 8pm kick-off (why 8pm?) and the fact that I'd rather have a decent night's sleep because I have work tomorrow.

Maybe it's because I'm fed up with some of the foul-mouthed tw@ts who go to football.

Maybe it's because I just want my bottle top so TREAT ME LIKE AN ADULT!

Maybe it's because I don't really know what the club stands for when it comes to things like the EFL funding deal or the European breakaway.

Or maybe it's just because I'm not feeling it.

I've renewed my season ticket for next year, but the way I'm feeling right now, if I'd forgotten to I wouldn't be bothered.

What a shame. I've never felt this way in forty five years of following the Albion. It's weird.

Jesus wept.

My son took a screen shot on the train and used it for entry as an exercise. Worked fine, not saying you are wrong though.

I would go as far to suggest an investigation
Brentford have recently announced that they are doing this. Given our similarly methodical, data-based approach to performance, I wouldn't be surprised if we were doing one as well.

Nope. Season petering out and an 8pm kick off. Cba to come down from London so put the ticket on exchange last week. Thankfully beat the rush and has already sold!

Well done mate, great choice.

With 1,636 tickets currently available for tomorrow night, the vast majority of which will be exchange tickets, it looks like quite a large number of fans either wash their hair on Thursday nights, or simply can't be arsed.

Are you going?

(For transparency: I'm not)
I washed my hair AND couldn't be arsed.

Yes and I'm expecting nothing less than a marvellous win for the Albion despite having to play kids and out of form players. I'm also expecting some top notch refereeing and VAR analysis with no unconscious bias from them for the "big" club. :rolleyes:

Well done to those that turned up (shouldn’t need to say this sadly) and those who gave spare tickets away to those who would enjoy it with them of course. But especially well done to those who sang the great escape for 15 mins at the end and then clapped the lads off. Loyal supporters 👏👏👏👏
