Completely different now. Areas of London do change very quickly. I lived in Brixton for a year and there was a street where the houses were going for £500k+ that apparently 10-15 years ago were crack dens.
I had a reasonable choice logging in at 9am for Sheffield United (priority group 2). Don’t forget there are no seats together. For social distancing they are very spread out.
I think the point that you should only expect to be in PG1 about once in every ten games should be highlighted by the club. A lot of people will probably see 4 groups and think it’s an equal chance of getting any of the groups.
