rest of block now open

Now you see i don't get that. To me that seems to say that the last block cannot be split into half home and half away. That being the case why only release half of it in the first instance and also why not last night if it was going to be released anyway?
I hope this is not an instance of the club being far too cautious again, i thought we had moved away from that.

OK So block totals as follows AL9 434, AL8 757, AL7 844, AL6 914, Wheelchair area 24 Grand Total 2973

Indeed, I wasn’t sure if the right half of AL6 would go on sale but in hindsight I could have held out a little longer.

Really poor from whoever makes the decision on ticket release on this one. It was absolutely 'cast iron' obvious that this game was going to sell out (or close to) based on being a Saturday at 3pm and our lofty league position and general positivity around the club. In addition, they could also look at previous season data and see that we have pretty much always sold it out every year (even when there were no trains last Easter)

So now the most loyal fans are stuck in the worst seats again. I do fully understand the reasons why we might be more cautious for some games but not Anfield on a Saturday afternoon that's not on TV.

Hasn't even gone on sale to members yet

True but among c25k people we have sold 2400. We may well sell the other 500 but that's a close run thing rather than a cast iron certainty.

With over a month to go till the game I think its pretty certain that we will sell another 500 tickets.

Me n the boy have worked our nuts off in the last few seasons and have now been rewarded with a tier one position. With that in mind on day one we’ve bought the shit seats they’ve offered us so we can sit with “our own”
There’s no way I’m holding out for the block with the best view to open to then be seated with the riff raff

235 left. Almost certainly selling out tomorrow.

Having been in T1 for this one I had to wait till Saturday to get them as there was a possibility Mrs GB would be away that day. I've been rewarded with a lovely seat midway up the block nearest the goal. Which is nowhere near where my mates are,

The stress of being tier 2 for Ajax and Athens (likewise Newcastle with travel and hotel booked waiting for “that” block to open so the Mrs could get one) gave me sleepless nights so I’m not going back to that if I can help it.

Ultimately, I just like being “part of it” so if I’m stuck in the corner so be it, I’m just happy to be on the team.

One thing I do miss about the pre premier league days is the ease of away games - yes we went to some shit grounds, that hasn't changed, but the zero stress of getting tickets and the ability to purchase rail tickets knowing there won't be frequent fixture changes because of TV games or opponents in Europe, I look back with fond memories of walking into away stands like Barnsley or Wigan and saying "is it sit anywhere" to the friendly steward, who replied "yes sit where you like"

I’m with you there. Also less risk of having to sit near some of our less pleasant and more entitled fans, that’s if they and their group haven’t already occupied your seats.

Anything in the city centre is fine especially around canning place and the Albert dock area , I personally wouldn’t stay in the Adelphi, Novotel is ok
