I can't see that the WSU will open now.
Of the £18 ticket fee, £4 is travel levy and VAT also needs deducting.
So I doubt opening the WSU would break even at this point.
Any waiting for WSU to open should #DropTheNerve and buy now.
Yes, the kettling at the league game to get to Falmer station while the Goon Express to Croydon was loaded did put me off the next game I must admit. TV coverage sealed the deal.
No such worries on Saturday - so a big difference.
Last time I looked the Coventry game isn't on a Monday night, is not live on TV, and won't have police kettling albion fans to stop them getting to Falmer station after the match.
That's all fair enough, although with foresight it could be seen that the palace gate was going to be small - the loud collective groan when the draw was made gave it away. If the fixtures had been reversed in the league, and we had just played them at Selhurst, it would have been a different...
Maybe the club want all the Coventry fans trying to get home end tickets through mates to be only able to get them in the blocks by the segregation for now ?
Perhaps the strategy is to give them a day to do this, then open an upper tier ?
