[Albion] The Wolves Golden Ticket Thread

[Bold Seagull]

So no confirmation of the ballot date as yet, but if 16 days pre-matchday as stated in the general ballot info. that would be made this Thursday wouldn’t it? With sales 14 days before so Saturday?

Blimey, it's all go go go isn't it. Haven't recovered from the Sheff Utd and Arsenal scrambles yet.

 

[Mackenzie]

The Wolves old golden ticket?

I hate to be a doom monger but I fear we'll all be back in lockdown or at least tier 3 by the time the Wolverhampton home fixture rolls around.

 

[Doonhamer7]

On current COVID trends it won’t matter - the whole of the south east could be in Tier3 as we get the spill out from London or national lockdown 3 will occur after Xmas

This! Resigned to this and if Eastbourne gets moved up in the next few days my Arsenal and Sheffield tickets will be going on the exchange

Broadcast times aren't confirmed for that weekend yet are they?
Can't ballot before KO time and day are confirmed surely.

Aye ..but it’ll be something like tier 73 by then

This, lockdown looms

 

[Lethargic]

We won't be going anywhere in January, national lockdown in coming after the Xmas free 4 all.

Hastings is the area that’s most likely to be placed in T3. Lots of rumours about it, I hear. Eastbourne has been around 70/100k in the last couple of weeks but hit 108 per 100k today.

Friday 18 Dec Wolves ballot draw.

Yes but Hastings comes under East Sussex. They can't say Tier 3 for Hastings but say only 2 for Eastbourne

They can. That’s what they’ve done in Essex and Herts. They’ve not put the whole of those counties into 3 just parts of them.

There’s hope for Eastbourne...

Oh didn't know that. Sincerely hope you're right otherwise Sheffield and Arsenal tickets will be going on the exchange

I am afraid this is now looking highly likely.

And with the news that less than half pf the UK population could get the vaccine in 2021, and as most of those wouldn't be going to football games as in Care Homes, it could be well into 2022 before the Golden Ticket Threads stop being posted.

I fully expect to be left disappointed again on Friday, as I get the news that yet again I am not in tier 1 for the Wolves game. Which may be slightly better news than celebrating being in Tier 1 and assured of a ticket only for the Government to impose Lockdown 3 from 1 January 2021.

Sage/PHE or someone with authority (can't remember exactly who) have already said that the first 30% of the population to be vaccinated will remove 99.9% of the risk of fatalities from the virus. So don't read all the doom and gloom without context! There is hope!!
