I wonder if anyone has highlighted that potentially we may have a smaller stadium than this seasons current WHL

Assuming we wont be allowed to have the top tier than effectively its a 34k seater stadium plus club wembley who will make up 16k

Also this isn't something you can negotiate around, recently my colleague has been on a tour and he is one of the producers who made that album. They had the NIA booked up and the promoters were angry that the barclays arena tour was sold out but the fact tickets were on sale for one of the tiers.

Apparently that tier is exclusively limited to their club customers, sponsors, workers and etc. Those people have then resold those tickets online for high prices. I expect a similar thing to happen here. The promoters were under the impression they would get all the tickets but apparently this tier could not be included.

So then you are left with the extra tier but that tier has nearly 40k seats and that would push us up to 74k seats. Which is potentially too many.

Never been to Wembley. What's parking like? It's on crap tube lines.

Crap tube lines? It's easier to get to Wembley than WHL. The Jubilee, Metropolitan, Bakerloo and London Overground lines all go to stations in Wembley.

I live near Watford and Wembley will be very convinient to get to.

Daily mail suggest that we may be able to play some big games at full capacity if we get lucky and plan it well(doubt uefa would let us) also say that the deal with Brent Council means its a 37 event limit unless the attendance is less than 50k.

Meaning if there are as stated 17.5k club wembley tickets take it up we will have up to 32.5k tickets

All of a sudden as much as it pains me to say it, MK dons looks a better option if they are willing to expand to 45k or I much rather we go to OS

MK Scums is never the better option. Never. In any circumstances, including obliteration of every football stadium in the world except for Stadium MK.

Agree, still north of the river, but a pain for people like me who just drive up the north circular, park 15/20 mins walk away from WHL.

And as I have a young family I don't do the whole meet up with mates early and go for a drink etc, so the difference with going to Wembley is pretty substantial and means most of the whole day out. Which is why I still think they should be offering the season ticket amnesty which is what they promised back when letting us know we'd have to relocate.

There's also the issue of how much it's going to cost for an equivalent type seat. No doubt if I want to sit in the lower tier side as I do at WHL ( East Lower) I'm going to have to pay way more.

I know it sounds like I'm just moaning, but I dont think it's fair that those who may still find Wembley difficult should risk losing their place in the queue for ST in the new stadium when they've put their hand in their pocket for over 20 years even when we were absolute shit.

I don't know if that would hold true for our games though. Those seats are sold on a debenture basis, for 10 years (definitely some, maybe all), and it's likely that part of the contract they have with the people who buy the debentures includes stuff like tickets for music gigs etc, which they were always planning to have.

Whereas us playing there is a one off thing, which no one knew about back when they started selling the club wembley tickets. I reckon we'll get the full club wembley area for every game we play

It appears that they don't get tickets for all the games but have the option to get tickets for one off events. So I have no idea where that leaves us
