Charlie Endell Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I've made a stand but a good few of my pals are renewing. They see it worth the money for north stand decent seats and the England game. Each to their own, I think it's daft.I've no interest in attending the England game, which made my decision not to renew easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Bring back 2 tickets each, like it was under Kaiser Berti. Looks likely if membership drops below 20,000 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis McBasher Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 What kind of allocation can we expect for Wembley? I will drop down to 5 points by then as I'm not going to any of these upcoming friendlies. Should still be fine hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalgety Bay TA Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 What kind of allocation can we expect for Wembley? I will drop down to 5 points by then as I'm not going to any of these upcoming friendlies. Should still be fine hopefully From what I have read (on here), there is no longer a set % that the home FA has to give to the away side. With that being the case it will come down to segregation and probably a bit of gentlemans agreement. It wouldn't surprise me to see England get the 5,000 away allocation that other teams with large supports have got for Hampden and us getting a matching c10%, 9,000 tickets for Wembley.

Mazziessc Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Looks likely if membership drops below 20,000 again. seems to be a fair whack not renewing but a fair few wanting to join. Probably thinking its the only way for them to guarantee England at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many did they have at celtic park? That was already enough for them to completely drown out the TA.

scottincarlisle Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 How many did they have at celtic park? That was already enough for them to completely drown out the TA. Think they got 7500 but returned about 1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Same here. Think Wembley will be my last venture. Likewise. Certainly the last campaign is my last aa4a regular. Think Wembley will be my only away in this group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Que Sera Sera Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'm living outside of Europe until shortly before the England home game. I wasn't a member last campaign but will be looking to join again. It guarantees me a home England ticket, which in itself is worth it as I'll definitely want to go and saves any scrambling about before the game. It also should allow me back on the ladder for the Lithuania and Slovenia away games. That then gives me points for hopefully at least a play-off game, potentially at least. If I'm being honest, we probably won't qualify. Sheer pragmatism means I'd rather pay the £50 premium than allow some (relative) glory hunter to attend England at Hampden in my place.

Charlie Endell Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 We'll be well out the running by the time England come to Hampden (would be utterly delighted to be wrong but I'm a realist). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Que Sera Sera Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 How many points do people think will be needed for a Wembley ticket? I'm guessing 1 or 2 will probably be enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if more did the same we might see some sort of change in the people running the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debian Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Considering Prague France Malta X 2 prior I'd be guessing 3 minimum for England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither me nor the wife have received anything about renewal via email post or  even lobbed through the window tied to a brick so that's made it easier to chuck it. Last straw for me was paying 45 quid to watch Gibraltar and being stuck in the corner of the south upper while the good seats in the middle sat empty, presumably some sort of punishment for not buying a season ticket. Been in the SSC for a good 20 years but the team is on its way down into rebuilding mode again so don't see any prospect of success on the park either.  I will still be at the games right enough.
