Where was it said? The tweets from Monday early evening said general sale was scheduled for today.

From the FA's written reasons document: "Complainant A and Complainant B were asked whether they wished to report the matter to the police and stated that they did not. However, due to the incident taking place abroad, the UK authorities would have had no jurisdiction over the incident in any event."

Pretty grim reading when you look at the details of the case.

But you said it said something about the "academy and pathway". Now it may be something about the individual themselves? Not sure the fact that not 100% of academy players will make it to the first team is a revelation. Not a single academy on the planet will achieve that.

What does it say then?

Email took 17 minutes from my transaction completing until coming through so looks like the Bristol Sport e-mail postie is feeling a bit lethargic this morning.

Going early with 15000... Any higher bids?

Bit unfortunate that the FA Cup rules don't compel anyone to offer more than 9000 tickets then.

And it's another game where the original tie ticket prices bear no relation to the replay ticket prices. I think that myth has been well and truly busted.

Evidence that replay tickets don't have to be the same as replay tickets...

Here are the rules. https://www.thefa.com/-/media/thefacom-new/files/competitions/2023-24/efac/rules-of-the-fa-challenge-cup-202324docx.ashx Which one lays out the requirement you purport to exist?

No they didn't.

I never said he has failed to make a routine save in his life. You made it about distribution. However, you are so obviously the oracle and I bow to your superiority on the forum.

And which bit of that addresses him failing to make what would be routine saves in the National League?

Not sure how tactics affect his ability to use his hands to fulfil what any reasonable observer would to be his primary objective of stopping the ball entering the net.

They do say: "The Irons will travel to Ashton Gate on Tuesday 16 January, for a 7.45pm GMT kick-off, subject to TV broadcast selections, with tickets going on sale from Monday." so they're clearly stating it's not a confirmed date.

It's a bit of a bizarre thing relating to a schoolboy apparently... https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2007/october/17-october/story-bubbles-0

I'm guessing there must be a bit of a void between the big screen and the first row of seats there but I'm not too sure! I've been to the LS a hell of a lot from the Olympics onwards but never really paid much attention to what's behind the big screens. Next time...

Think this is it in the red box. The triangle surrounds appear slightly different (presumably not PL branded) but here's a pic from a previous trip to the London Stadium.

Yes, it was in use though I don't think anyone was thinking about VAR when that one went in.

Just need to know what coach you're on. Say your name to the coach steward and they'll check you off on their list.

I know random local facts is normally the domain of NTTDS but the Big Breakfast house is just a short walk from the stadium alongside Old Ford Lock.

Nope, that was Carl Robinson (ex Wolves and Sunderland) with Rooney at Brum. They had previously worked together at DC United.
