[Albion] The Sheffield United golden ticket thread

[neilbard]

I guess given the size of the allocations, loads of people were going to get double 4s and very few double 1s. Has anyone owned up to being on Barber's algorithm yet

 

[dazzer6666]

From a distance, quite a few in the NS seemed to not be in their allocated seats........the nice orderly diagonal lines didn’t exist

In the ESL, didn’t experience any issues with social distancing at all, either before, during or after the game. For those suggesting the queues for the toilets were a problem, simply follow a normal matchday protocol and wait 5-10 mins - no queue at all 5 mins before resumption.

How many consecutive Group 4's before it's appropriate to start asking questions? Our group is now on two consecutive Group 4's which is fair enough. Wouldn't want to see that sequence extending TOO much further tho

Same. Seem to be a huge number of us in the exact same boat. Will be keeping a very close eye on that algorithm from here on in

Are you seriously trying to suggest that each ballot isn't a random draw?

I can reveal random posts about Leon Knight being alright is fed into the algorithm, FACT

Wait does this mean I AM priority window 1 or that priority window 1 goes on sale on Wednesday??

Group 3 for us before and group 4 this time. To be fair, I'm not bothered.

Did the Southampton game go to tier 2? We’re T2 for Sheffield and just trying to rate our chances. Last nights result may affect a few!

Unfortunately there is always a chance of being a low probability outcome. Your chances of not being PW4 for subsequent matches won’t be changing, as conditionality is not part of the algorithm. If you draw 4 for the rest of the season maybe you just need to be more careful when walking under ladders.

Brilliant

I was priority 3 for stains

I am now priority 4 for United

As a fan of 46;years I a ****ing disgusted at my treatment.

Barber out
Bloom out
Everyone out.

Priority 3 for Southampton now I'm in 1 for Sheffield, shame I can't make the match anyway!

Yep - 915 tickets went into group 2, which is probably over half of those that were available initially.

They then went VERY quickly, so don't hang about when your time comes.

Just send me your fan number,log in details and password and I’ll find out for you. No charge.

Window 2 again. Did not go last night.

I`m tier two and if my guess that 12.00 Sunday will be a more popular slot than 8.00pm monday evening there will be very few tickets left for tier two.

Praying for tier one for Arsenal Game !!

Was 3 for Saints but 1 for Sheff Utd. Morning meeting with Mr Barber added to my work calendar!

Possibly, although balance that with the early ko (gates will be open at 10am), no alcohol, crap (normal) train service and our home form...........potentially similar I reckon.

Oh I agree people should be discouraged from going as much as possible

I’m doing my best [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Long range weather forecast is AWFUL too.

Plus that hurricane...sort of thing that would encourage people to stay at home in the warm ...watch game on tv ...I mean match could be awful....VAR will probably ruin it....five sent off ....probably worse

Gutted period 4 , I won’t be watching in person Sheffield getting their first 3 points of the season , looks like prime for me if I can be bothered , have really lost the enthusiasm to watch us at the moment , let’s hope it returns in the new year
