[Albion] The Sheffield United golden ticket thread

[Bozza]

So, the stadium is entirely within B&H, but the access etc is in East Sussex - is that right?

 

[seagulls99]

Could us group 2 plebs get a breakdown of availability by block? Much appreciated!

 

[Rinkmaster]

Yes, it’s only if an area is in tier 3 that you’d be prohibited from travelling and attending games. For example any Brighton fans living in Kent shouldn’t be currently attending games as Kent is tier 3.

Thank you for the info. This is getting Confusing

Yep. Which makes it heavily open to interpretation whether if East Sussex goes into tier 3 and Brighton and Hove is on tier 2 still whether the club can play matches.

My gut feel is they shouldn’t but will properly get away with it. Does highlight the mockery of the county border situations in different tiers. But what else can they do?

East Sussex is likely to go to T3

Hastings looks a bit of an outlier? Eastbourne is down.

 

[redoubtable seagull]

Just heard from a morning meeting report Conquest Hospital in Hastings is worst its been, much higher than at the worst earlier in the year, people are very worried. Pretty much guaranteed its Tier 3 over here next week.

Hastings and Rother have been running along with one of the lowest rates in the country. Worrying that it’s risen so quickly in such a short space of time.

East Sussex is likely to go to T3

You guessing that yourself or you’ve been told that as well? Hastings is only part of East Sussex, would be mad to put it all in that tier because of that...!

The East / West Sussex boarder is in Portslsde / Mile Oak. If not the council really need to move the welcome to West Sussex sign outside of Mayberry’s on the old Shoreham Road. From what I’ve seen the government tier segregation is just East and West Sussex for our region.

The stats the BBC publish are split into smaller regions. Portslsde is included with Brighton and Hove there.

The city is a separate entity. The sign for west sussex that you mention deliniates the "border" between the city and west sussex. It has nothing to do with east sussex..

Unless they change the rules to make it areas rather than counties Hastings and Rother are on the upward spiral - I'm not scaremongering or anything and the decision is obviously the governments.

It won't stop me trying to get tickets tomorrow morning though and hope things turn around again. If they do change the tiers might not until the Monday after the game anyway.

That's exactly what happened with Swale/Kent.

Yes, the Government Covid tier website lists Brighton and Hove as a separate entity. The ground is in BN1 which presumably means the East Sussex tier will be irrelevant.

Quick question - I’m in a group with one other, both priority 2. When I log on tomorrow will I be able to choose a seat for him as well as me (assuming any are available) or does he need to do this himself?

You will be able to do it.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Is there any chance of Brighton going to tier 1?

 

[jackalbion]

Is there any chance of Brighton going to tier 1?

It should be really but I very much doubt they will if East Sussex goes into tier 3

 

[atomised]

Yep. Which makes it heavily open to interpretation whether if East Sussex goes into tier 3 and Brighton and Hove is on tier 2 still whether the club can play matches.

My gut feel is they shouldn’t but will properly get away with it. Does highlight the mockery of the county border situations in different tiers. But what else can they do?

Why would the club not be able to play matches in tier 3. I was under the impression matches could continue but behind closed doors

 

[Sheebo]

It is.

I think the poster was referring to spectators being allowed

You’ll be able to as long as he’s in you family and friends group. You have to assign tickets to ticket holder names as you had to previously.
