    I do have a season ticket but as I am on my own then if you lot can get your little groups together then it probably makes sense for me not to take up more seats than I ought as a single person.
    I will watch it on tv and be perfectly happy.
    Enjoy your evening and don't scare the players. Don't forget some of them have never seen you before.
    Now if it comes to Wembley ........

    Nope I’m not entering either.

    So you can’t blame me at least if you don’t get a ticket.

    Bit too late for me with a 120m journey back to Wales after the game.

    You can apply individually. It's group's of UP TO 6.

    But the more single applications that come out of the ballot the lower the attendance will be. So he's saying that he's abstaining from applying for the greater good of the overall capacity.

    For private and personal reasons (which I'm not prepared to discuss), I haven't entered the ballot.

    120 metres isn't much of a journey, really.

    The attendance will still be the maximum of 4528 no matter if groups up to six or individuals apply it makes no difference.

    Given that seating is supposedly calculated with minimum gaps between ballot winners it does. Seating ~4000 individuals requires more space than ~650 groups of 6.

    Really ? So theoretically the attendance could be 750 ? Surely not ?

    In theory.

    After the meeting last night, fans were asked to maximise the size of their bubbles, so as to fit more in.

    And the club are making no distinction between single applicants, and bubbles of six...

    As I understand a single applicant doesn't effect the overall capacity.
    Surely.....I'll stand corrected like.

    I think you're incorrect there. That's certainly not what came out of the Fans' Forum last night.

    Haven't read the FAQs posted by the club so might have changed but there was definitely an encouragement last night to book in blocks if you were willing and able.

    I'm not attending either for health reasons.
    First home match I've missed by choice for about 25 years
