Doubt with 65 I'll get a ticket but fingers crossed.
You will be fine

I am calling 58-60

Maybe even a touch under, i genuinely believe we over estimate how many travel, if Bournemouth went to 62 this will go lower as you are going to lose a bunch of ASTH and the people on more points will get a go, so would imagine this goes to a few more under

What we saying Pinks

62 for Bournemouth and a load more would travel there, a bunch of new ASTH on lower points and its not a glamour tie for the Bondies or Corps

Also 1 hour windows which kinda means fastest fingers, maybe i am wrong but maybe around 55-58

I think you'll be fine Phil, it's interesting they haven't started on the max available points (70).

There are quite a few on the AST scheme that don't do European games ( cost, time off etc), so that will be a group who lack the points to get to your 65.

Could go to 55.

Cost is a factor as is the inability for Bondholders to knock out the tickets to others.

The big unknown of course is how many have been siphoned off for the lounges and sponsors.

Now, I'm guessing here, but in recent ECL games the sponsors and lounge mob have been housed in with the away fans in the posh parts of the grounds we are playing it, so if we are lucky the 1,007 allocation just might be for the supporter who gets their ticket through the normal channels.

Fingers crossed for everybody.

Would be superb to gauge how many are in your group, also this is going to be a really good exercise for the potential semi final, similar allocations

It clearly isn't as it fails to mention sponsors or those from the lounges.........

You failed to read the small print, bottom of the last page "... however the club reserves the right to do what the **** it likes"

for what it is worth, think club are calling this one right on the AST issue - though still worry that we will be shafted by the corporate sales

A few people have said that they haven’t been expanding ASTs for a while, do you know otherwise?

When we first moved to Stratford they doubled it, roughly, from the 321 we had in 2015/16 to 650 or there abouts.

It then went up to around 700 -ish.

Since then it has fallen due to drop outs and kick outs but I reckon it's still north of 600.

From my perspective I'm happy to wait a few more days in the hope "she" manages to secure additional tickets to ensure the maximum number of supporters get to go, including you.
Pinky agree as many as possible is the right way to go, but what would have been wrong saying weeks ago :
“We know we have **** number of tickets which will go on sale at these times
We are trying our best to secure extra tickets, and in the event we are successful sales will pick up at the point we sold out the first allocation”

Dave, yeah i get it on the comms front, but for me the TO priority has to be always securing the maximum allocation it can.

I reckon it's the Belgian police who have put the mockers on any extras, which is a shame as generally speaking across 2 seasons in Europe our supporters have been exemplary.

apart from getting 1100 extra tickets for Larnaca!
And in reply, we didn't sell them all

As fans we expect a lot but do we give?
Look at the sales for the home leg for a European quarter final

Hardly a surprise that we don’t sell a lot of tickets in a stadium that isn’t fit to host football matches.

I don’t think normal football stadium is a lot to expect
