It is an arbitrary punishment given the PL PSR rules are so hedged about in the first place, with the clearest example of this being the so-called ‘amortisation’ scam. Plus, if Everton were originally given a 10 point deduction based on a rational set of rules, why then reduce this to just 6 points,...

I saw the post at 9 this morning about 91 Chelsea tickets remaining. I had two thoughts, how the hell does some one get to know that info , and secondly I’m never going to get a ticket with my 37pts. I got my ticket at just after 5, so clearly a few left for those still waiting. On my points I have ...

According to the club site, Palace tickets are being issued digitally this season. Even Palace have the necessary technology!

It is more than annoying if this is the case as just missed out Palace for the second season in a row. The club really need to step in, but we know they care not.Digital tickets makes this misusing of the so-called loyalty points system so easy. Was chatting with some lads (well they were 40 years y...

2pts for a £90 million overspend…beyond a joke. The only reason it appears like a proper punishment is because of where they are in the league. If they were mid-table it would be as if a fly landed on their head. If they stay up, it’s at Luton, Brentford (ironically the only PL club to make a profit...

I just hope nobody has damaged by seat in the Billy Bonds with all that unnecessary jumping up and down.

Cottee, wow that’s a provocative bit of info, but as you say it is from twitter so I won’t believe it until confirmed.

David Sullivan, the mini-me Donald Trump of Essex. Of course, he’s worried about a regulator with teeth, if it means a bit more oversight of this club’s financial shenanigans. It might also be difficult for him to resist a supporters trust, one can only hope.

Likewise. I missed out on Frankfurt ( having already bought a Eurostar ticket) by just 1 point having gone to Seville and Lyon’s with similar size allocations.I fear some similar less than transparent distribution of tickets will happen again now we are in the quarters. However, as only on 36 points...

I agree with all the comments about showing respect for others views, self-censoring posts prior to sending, restoring some humour into proceedings, and last but by no means least, thank you to all the excellent work undertaken gratis by the moderators. This remains by far not just the best West Ham...

I see someone posted an allocation of 2500 for Leverkusen, surely it’s only 1500 if their capacity is 30k?

UTJ , cheers for posting this article. Makes for both depressing and positive reading. The positive being the fans groups fighting back against the neo-fascists, the depressing is the rise of racist fascist politics in Germany. The PL is undoubtedly becoming politicised, but not at the supporter lev...

The OS is a bowl in a soulless park, surrounded by ever increasing soulless new buildings popping up seemingly at random. It’s not a football stadium located in a living community which is what traditional football stadiums were. Not many left now in the PL. I was at Goodson Park on Saturday almost ...

It’s not a question of ‘couldn’t care less’, it’s the fact that the match is in the middle of a working week and would mean taking a minimum of two days off work plus costs of give or take £500. I could care less, that’s why I’m leaving home tomorrow morning at 9am to go up to Liverpool for the Ever...

I don’t think the situation re: standing in your allocated seat has got any better or worse over the past decade. People will always want to stand next to their friends/ family if they can. I’ve often found people in my space when I finally get into the ground, seemingly always just as the match sta...

I had a quick look at the Brighton and Liverpool club sites and they don’t have any info about their away leg tickets either. So we are not alone. I’m just hoping the allocation is 2k+ , so my measly 35 points will get me a ticket. But I have a bad feeling that the Club London or whatever the corpor...

Saw Stan play a few times back in the late 70s. Wonderfully gifted player at a time when no one was playing percentage football, just entertaining football, and he certainly entertained. He finished his career at Brentford and was a favourite there as well. So I sincerely hope there is a minute’s tr...

Glad to hear that Benny has landed on his feet for OL. Great stadium, great city.

I also completed the FSA survey and agree it was very vague with no clearly stated objective. I for one rely entirely on the train to get to away fixtures as have no car, nor have ever had a need for one. Ever since privatisation of the railways back in the day the reliability has been generally poo...

For me personally, and maybe it’s because I am older and have a long football cultural take on this, but you never ever boo your own team and the end of a match. This was it what I learnt when I first starting going to Upton Park back in 1970, and I’m not about to change these principles, but I do u...
