Good, because at the Chelsea pre season game I didnt take any ID for my 8 year old and the Stand manager was very provoking and wanted to turn me and my son away because he didn't have ID which made my son cry.
My argument was, what child carries photo ID, and his was, it says it in the t&c's
Luckily, some attractive lady came over and said a photo of his passport would be enough so his mum sent it through.

My Spurs friend just sent me this. They are doing a ballot by knockout. Once you’ve had a ticket you drop out of future ballots until all season ticket holders have had a chance to buy one.

Much fairer than our system it has to be said. I know a lot on here hate any criticism of the club but why not do this?
Imagine if some poor people don’t get to a single game this season whilst others get to go multiple times.

West Ham have announced that they are also doing the same as Spurs, a ballot by knockout.
So once you’ve had a ticket you drop out of future ballots until all season ticket holders have had a chance to buy one.
It's also lucky that Brighton have had a test event by playing the friendly with Chelsea. The Daily Telegraph are reporting that the other Premier League sides can only have 1000 for their first game.
From Daily Telegraph:
Plans for Premier League clubs to welcome back 2,000 fans next week have been thrown in doubt after safety chiefs began forcing teams to stage test events at half that capacity.
A day after it was confirmed half of top-flight sides would remain banned from hosting spectators under new coronavirus restrictions following the second national lockdown, the other half were sweating on whether they would only be allowed to let 1,000 in through the turnstiles in the coming days.
How Premier League clubs plan to distribute match tickets
It followed news that Bournemouth had been forced to stage a test event at that figure for their December 12 Championship game against Huddersfield Town and that Wycombe Wanderers were expecting to be made to do the same for their match on Wednesday against Stoke City.
Such decisions would be based on guidance issued in August by the Sports Ground Safety Authority (SGSA) that “strongly recommended” test events be held for reduced-capacity fixtures, with 50 per cent of the socially-distanced capacity cited as starting point.
Final decisions on whether to implement the SGSA recommendations are taken by local Safety Advisory Groups (SAGs), with those governing the number of spectators allowed at Premier League fixtures next weekend not meeting to make those decisions until next week.
The clubs hosting the affected games – Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Brighton & Hove Albion – would be expected to lobby hard against having their capacities halved, having already told fans they were looking forward to welcoming back 2,000 of them.
Arsenal, due to be the first Premier League team to host supporters for a competitive game since March when they play Rapid Vienna on Thursday evening, on Friday night said there was no indication their SAG would not sign off on a crowd of 2,000.
Brighton, meanwhile, should escape any cut having staged a pilot of 2,500 spectators for a pre-season friendly against Chelsea back in August.
Liverpool on Friday became the first Premier League club to stop those from outside their local area attending matches when fans return.

Amazing that some have sat around doing sweet fanny adams for months and only now start to decide their sales structure. It’s not like they had an idea something might happen. Some clubs are run by idiots.
