They won't open all of the outlets if the tier is only half full.

There's.a queue already so if you head off after work tonight, you might just be OK.

Papa Lazarou, e77, myself and others were getting wet, although not massively so, in row B of the ESU at the West Brom game.

So why was the whole ground opened from the off for the Palace cup game, a mere 13 months ago, when any fan, including many on here, could have told you that game had all the appeal of a "Learn to clap with Wilfried Zaha" all-day training course? Attendance: 14,507

You're not accounting for both VAT and the transport subsidy, both substantial.

Does anyone think Roger Lewis actually exists?

This process wasn't followed for the Palace cup game, just last season, when any one of us who is in touch with fan sentiment could have told you that the crowd was going to be low. Then for the Coventry, West Brom and FLD games, when anyone could predict demand would require at least one upper...

Virtual high fives all round.

I've made this point repeatedly about the Albion's ticket sale policy. There will be less-regular fans who look at scarce availability at times like these, see mainly odd tickets, figure they're too late and decide not to come and do something else.

Yes, 9 tickets, all in the ESU, row B.

After tonight's rain, there's no way I'd be buying a lower tier seat.

If they do, they won't be using your seat again. Nor any seat for that matter.

Indeed it is. I know some people (ESU STHs) who were really disappointed to have bought lower tier seats for the West Brom game only to find if they'd waited they could have been where they prefer. They've not bought for this one yet as a result. How many other people will be doing the same? I...

...with 3,000 waiting for an upper tier.

In what way do they have a preferential seat claim?

Not allowing STHs to claim their seat is absolutely the right thing to do IMO, as it allows groups made up of STHs and non-STHs alike to plan and get seats from the off. Many of us take less regular fans to games like this due to ease of sitting together - difficult if not impossible for league...

But to offset that, you'll get a glimpse of the heady world of the Premier League, That's got to be attractive for a club like yours, surely?

Coventry in the 5th Round last year was the 17th February, also a half-term weekend, and we had 26,966. And that was without the draw of Frank Lampard.

The free-for-all approach is unquestionably correct, IMO, for the reasons my learned friend Wozza has already made. But so is opening the whole ground.

Happy to bet you a quid that "further seating areas will need to be opened as demand requires it."
