Woodypecker Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) I agree people will gravitate to panic buying when media reports accelerate shortages (just as it did with food....and loo rolls...during early Covid) but spin it is, if the availability *where it's needed* contradicts where (plenty of) the commodity is actually stored prior to transhipment to outlets. Local shortages exist in the real world - and haulage capacity has been clearly exposed as an issue. Anyroad, still dunno if I can get to the games!!

Yes. I’ve arrived at about half time on a couple of occasions and got in both times, one of which being midweek. GO FOR IT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking again, I reckon you may be a tad high, and me a bigger tad too low.

I think "officially", they open up to let the smokers out, but are meant to corral them within certain boundaries, allowing nobody in or out (other than staff with passes, of course). I'm pretty sure they aren't overly vigilant though, to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those figures came directly from the Club this morning. Rams Trust and Punjabi Rams tweeted the same numbers. Hence the plea from the club to process your tickets. I do worry when the mothers of intelligent people like @DarkFruitsRam7 are struggling to get their tickets. I find it quite simple, but so many people are having problems that it worries me!

I think those that have bought tickets via the website before generally fair well. However, I think it’s an awful website to navigate for a newbie. Never mind if you are trying to buy more than a single ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was reduced when away fans were moved to the corner. The gaps to the left and right of them are wider than need be IMO, but hey ho. it’s now less than 32,000 capacity, including just over 3,000 for away fans max. edit. There has been c33,500 in the ground, twice, for England v Mexico and Ted McMinn’s testimonial. There was no segregation for those games to speak of.

Ramos Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I think a lot of people like myself and (about 6 of my mates) won’t activate their mobile tickets till probably Wednesday or whatever the last second is you can do ha - I imagine the number of tickets left May suddenly reduce by Wednesday afternoon. Let’s hope for at least 25k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
