On the flip side I have asked friends at Chelsea, West Ham, Leicester and Palace if they can get me a ticket if I can't get one in the away end.
At lot of away fans are wanting tickets at The Amex, Chelsea seem to do an interesting away scheme with 60% of tickets going to STH and the balance of 40% going to members.
Be fantastic every home game sold out.

Slightly OT I guess just been offered 2 tickets for our away game at Old Trafford. Pal has suppliers who have seats and they 'owe him'.

Definition of "shrift":

"A shrift is a penance (a prescribed penalty) imposed by a priest in a confession in order to provide absolution, often when the confessor was near to death."

And today I've learnt someone new.

Shrift has the same root as Shrove as in Shrove Tuesday, when you confess and get ready for Lent which starts on Ash Wednesday.
