Bar BS3 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Aren’t W6 seats the “corporate” ones..? If so, they are probably held back for more expensive package sales and spares are only then called upon once all other seats are sold out. It’s not like they’ve held back blocks of general admission seats. These can be viewed as “extras” as opposed to ones that general admission were deprived of in the first place, as they are never usually made available without one of the hospitality packages.

Bit crap, if you ask me. Anyone care to link Matt Parsons and ask why this happens? I'm not sure how to link to a person's name. Phone the club and ask to move, I know you shouldn’t have to but I’m sure they will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCRED Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 2 hours ago, wood_red said: They have arranged to do something different now so it's lost money for the club, releasing tickets how they are is ridiculous imo. If people are happy to sit on their own they will pick a seat on their own when that is all that is left. When they are not releasing seats together it is will put people off going especially parents with kid(s). Miss out this week and they may not go as frequently, get a few seats together and they may go next game as well.... Perhaps leaving it until the last minute wasn’t a good idea, they can always buy a season ticket for next season if they are that keen or are they only coming because we are playing Leeds??

That is fair enough - but there were still hundreds that could have been available when they wanted theirs, the club chose not to make them available though!! Saturdays game is just one of around about a dozen they can make through the whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV Tom Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 8 hours ago, Verloc said: Clough probably was the best manager around at the time, I agree. He was also young though, and I think he might have handled things differently if he had been a bit older and a bit wiser. He needed to get the players on his side, but instead chose to rubbish them. Experienced professionals, who had already won a lot of honours in the game, were not going to take kindly to that approach. He was also without Peter Taylor, of course, who would no doubt have helped him in that respect. Most of the Leeds players were coming to the end of their career by then and wouldn’t have lasted long under Clough anyway though Norman Hunter must be one of the best signings we ever made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you seriously waking up at 7am and checking precisely how many tickets are showing as available..? We know it’s “sold out” but I’m genuinely intrigued (baffled) as to why you’d keep logging back on and checking each individual block to see if the odd ticket had become available..!

The team he inherited were reigning League Champions remember and went on to reach the final of the European Cup under Jimmy Armfield. I think the breaking up of the Revie team needed to be a more gradual job, but Clough seemed to try to go at it like a bull in a china shop. I'm not sure you can just change a team overnight and many of those players went on to play for a few more seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Planet Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 For me, this game is bigger than the cup games v both Manchester clubs last season. We will be tested against a very good current Leeds side, with Bielsa surely the best manager in the 2nd tier this season ? For debate perhaps. If we give a good account of ourselves and (perhaps) get something out of this game, then I think our play-off hopes are very much alive. If we get smashed, then it looks more likely we will end up 7th-10th at the end of the season. BUT - Leeds will be up against what is generally recognised as the best CB partnership in the EFL this season. Hopefully Kalas and Webster will be on top form - they will need to be.

I can see Saturday turning us into hoofball. Leeds press very high and very quickly. With us trying to play out from the back i think we’ll resort to lumping it long. If this happens with just Fam up top it wont work. However, should LJ go with a more direct route, perhaps a 2nd striker might be on the cards!?!

Saying that our fans at ER understand with the amount you lads have to pay, £39 for a ticket is mad, we love it when the away fans fill the away end, it generates a atmosphere for both look at WBA last Friday, they showed up and it was electric, best I've seen for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our last Saturday home game we had 20,000 home fans in. Saturday we will have about 22,000, so obviously it being on a weekend rather than midweek is a factor. The home game before that on a Saturday - 19,200 home fans, whereas our last two midweek home games we've had about 18,500. Not just about the opposition, it's about convenience and the magnitude of the game. 4 minutes ago, JBFC II said: We had 20k at home to norwich and Sheffield United earlier on this season...
