Salford City Away in the League Cup

[ClaretsPadiham]

First ever time we will have played them competitively. So a new ground for those who manage to get tickets.

Nice and local and a great chance to progress.

Should be a live game on Sky I’d imagine with the drama of who owns them etc.

1,200 tickets which will be very difficult to get, ballot again ??

[Stan Tastic]

Leeds had 33 shots against them last night and still lost. Must be some sort of record.

[jrgbfc]

1200 terrace and 200 seating tickets according to Football Ground Guide.

[Quickenthetempo]

Salford seemed to have empty spaces in the home end against Leeds.
Hopefully they give us a few more tickets to ensure a sellout.

[claretonthecoast1882]

This is the perfect game to see how the new ticket scheme at the wishes of the FAB works out. Luckily it is midweek rather than a Saturday which will slightly lower the demand.

[Clovius Boofus]

At least it will most likely be televised for those of us who aren't lucky enough to get a ticket.

[dougcollins]

Based on historical evidence Sky are more likely to show an all prem fixture featuring one of the big 6.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Sky will ignore the idea of Prem sides making changes and probably show

Newcastle v City
Chelsea v Brighton

After those 2 Brentford v Arsenal, Villa v Everton, Utd v Brighton, Ipswich v Wolves, Lincoln v West Ham, would probably all be further up the pecking list than our game

Hope Brightons games aren’t at the same time.

What are your concerns?

X amount of people will qualify for points number required and will need to win the fastest finger round.

That sounds better than the official guidelines for allocations:

"Clubs are allocated 3,000 tickets or 10% of the stadium capacity if lower, for away league matches. For League Cup matches the away allocation is 10% of stadium capacity and for FA Cup matches the away allocation is 15% of stadium capacity. For UEFA Cup competitions, the away allocation is 5% of the stadium capacity. These allocations may be adjusted up or down to take into account segregation arrangements."

In what way??

[AGENT_CLARET]

Those that went last night should get first go at the tickets, it's got nothing to do with me getting home at 2:10am this morning

Unless they have the dreaded ballot

Stockport got 550 tickets for the play-off game last year

[AGENT_CLARET]

I've emailed Salford City this morning regarding hospitality, I'll pass on any information when they reply

[AGENT_CLARET]

Stockport got 550 tickets for the play-off game last year

Leeds got almost 1,200 and it wasn't a ground sell out in the home ends

[ArmchairDetective]

Those that went last night should get first go at the tickets, it's got nothing to do with me getting home at 2:10am this morning

I agree. And that too has nothing to do with me getting home in the early hours Though we did go to the pub for two pints before leaving Nottingham

[claretonthecoast1882]

Hope Brightons games aren’t at the same time.

No harm in mixing Palace and Brighton up, neither club would be upset about that

I wasn't there, however, I agree.

[Granny WeatherWax]

In what way??

by seeing what the set the 1st threshold at. If it’s 2200/2000 then would indicate new system is a waste of time.

[Claretforever]

1,341 was the largest away following at Salford last season, by Bradford City. Assume that’s about what clubs get?

How have you come to that conclusion?

[Granny WeatherWax]

How have you come to that conclusion?

More people than eligible under old system. Makes no sense. Understand it helps coaches get filled though which is important.

[IrkthePurists]

How many did we take last night? Looked a great following from the highlights.

And how have you come to that conclusion?

[Silkyskills1]

Went to grammar school in Salford in the 1960's. Still meet up in Manchester with a few of them 3 or 4 times a year. Already been chatting with one of them regarding ticket allocation but he's in the dark as much as we are. Interesting night ahead though.

[Granny WeatherWax]

And how have you come to that conclusion?

Which one

[Leisure]

Which one

Both.

Points - Tony

Coaches - common sense

[AlargeClaret]

Away allocations are more to do with ground/away end practicalities and SC away end holds 1200 , unless they’ve extended since last season ? Though SC’s support is v small and I guess they’ll want the ground full . Tight wads etc will be pleased to know you could get 2 pints and a pie for a tenner last season .( v Barrow )

[jrgbfc]

Newcastle v City and Man U v Palace chosen as the TV games.

[northeastclaret]

Man United v Palace. Wonderful, what a load of sh!te

[burnmark]

Man United v Palace. Wonderful, what a load of sh!te

Looks like that is a Tuesday night so big possibility our game will be the Wednesday.

[agreenwood]

Man United v Palace. Wonderful, what a load of sh!te

It’s all about the ratings.

No different to the Championship where Leeds will be on more than anyone else this seasons regardless of how good or bad they are.

Still not any clearer!

[Bordeauxclaret]

I wonder how many United cup games in the last 10-20 years haven’t been on TV.
