just order my two online. I'm looking forward to this very much.
Also MK Dons the week after, both are big games in different ways.

If we got to Wembley I wouldn't be surprised if there is a special announcement concerning 1901ers , something along the lines of being number 1 priority over ordinary STH's which was conferred on them when they joined the 1901 club.

Got my two, shocking that nobody cares, like someone earlier said, this is a game that is winnable, and could see us through to the quarter finals of the FA Cup! I also want to be there to witness it if it happens, plus I've never been there before.

won't be taken into account as the reserves were playing.
This would 100% NOT happen.
All of the past problems over ticketing have been down to the club making up the rules as they went along. A couple of years ago they realised this, issued a ticketing / priority policy, to which they now always stick religiously to.

Such as announcing that its all ticket for an away game and then saying 2 days before the match you can POTG ?
What has that got to do with anything? That is entirely down to the home club, to decide whether to sell on the day. The Albion uses its own policy to distribute the away tickets it sells.
As a rule of thumb I work Saturdays so I'm not signed up to any of the away membership schemes. It just so happens I'm off for this one. Want to go but was wondering if tickets were likely to go on general release or whether I should just cough up for membership and be done with?
I'd pay and be done with it. Its only a tenner and in theory* lasts forever. It will also get you on the system so you can buy tickets on line, which is far preferable to queueing on the phone for HOURS.

Nobody cares? I mentioned that I was in the ticket office this morning and that we have actually sold just shy of 3,000 tickets already. White members could only start buying tickets today. Keep calm and carry on.

Cheers Hans. Sage advice and if we have shifted 3,000 I reckon you're right. Cheers.

Very much looking like we will take out full allocation of 4,500 then. Best get in now if you don't want to miss out.

The lifetime membership of the White scheme might only last until the end of this season , new schemes are in the pipeline for next season and has already been intimated in a reply on ATC.

I'm on about how we're told time and time again that it will be strictly all ticket only for the club to return hundreds of tickets to the home club to be sold on the day.

But, at the risk of repeating what someone else has said, how is that a valid criticism of the club? They don't have any say in the matter, other than presumably providing the opposing club an estimate of how high demand is likely to be.
The decision to make away games is not theirs to make. The decision to then allow pay on the gate shortly before the match is not theirs. They don't do this to annoy us. I'm sure they'd rather not have the hassle of selling these tickets.

Our away following is fairy consistent so if the guess is 1,500 might travel why does the club take the full allocation of 2,000 and say it is strictly all ticket with no sales at the ground on the day only for 500 tickets to be sent back. I would rather have the club say that there is an initial allocation of 1,500 but the away end holds 2,000. My example is hypothetical but in reality this has happened with Leeds and MK Dons along with numerous others in recent seasons.
Does it really matter though? We all know that the club always say aways are all ticket. We also all know that if there are tickets left it will be pay on the gate. This happens for every game and no club in this division can afford to turn away POTD customers and the police would not let them anyway.
Additionally with the rumoured points sytem coming in next season, it is better to get away tickets in advance so there is some record of the games you have been to. It is certainly made me buy more advance tickets than before.
