To renew you just need to go online (your new price and confirmation of your seat will be there) or ring up. Hurry up though, you’ve only got just over a week. How much do we think they will go up by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. I remember it was changed from numerical order for that reason. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) Those old tear out tickets generally ran in numerical order, but every now and then they'd throw in a curve ball and change the sequence. I always assumed it was to ensure you'd got the whole book with you, and not just purchased/borrowed/stolen the single voucher, thus more likely to be the genuine STH. (How many of us would hand over a full book, even to someone we knew!). ... I once bought a single ticket (from a ST book) at Maine Rd. He ("The spiv") tore out the right numbered voucher, and graciously hovered about until I was in, but I was very nervous that I'd been ripped off! ... As an aside... I was sat front and centre behind the goal. I kept looking behind wondering where all the noise was coming from. It was mid-second half before I spotted the speakers, and the noise was being piped in from the Kippax Terrace to the side. Surround-Sound football chants! Cool! 😁 * Didn't help them though... we won 1-2! 🐏 Edited April 19 by Mucker1884 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn’t last long because the authorities said it was against the rules. I think you’re only allowed to broadcast after goals are scored, when subs are made (ie information) and in emergency.

I don't recall getting the letter this year. I could be wrong though. 🤷♂️ I got my personal/specific renewal e-mail on Monday 26th Feb (After I'd already renewed, thanks to posts/reminders on here, I renewed online on day one, which is unusual for me.) Check your emails/spam. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
