You'd think four hours after announcing it on twitter that they might have updated the website, so you could actually buy said tickets.

Update from the Club

Fantastic news, Villans, that the Trinity Road Upper will be opened for the first time this season for the Boxing Day visit of Burton Albion FC.

Tickets in that area will be first available to season ticket holders who held seats in that section in 2015/16 from Monday – and then they’ll be on general sale from Thursday.

just had an email from the club saying that they are opening the Upper Trinity for the Burton game on boxing day because it is approaching a sell out!!!

previous season ticket holders up there have until next Wednesday to claim their old seats

Very disappointed that you choose to broadcast this news rather than letting me know via PM so that I can storm the Guess the Crowd League.

GTC is officially very excited about the Return of the Upper Trinity.
It's just like Christmas.

As a former resident of Upper Trinity I am disgusted that mere plebs may end up there simply because their family saved up to buy them a Xmas present 😡

That lot will have to dig out their ties again now.

And me blanket. Never know, might be a bit nippy.

We've missed the tutting and face-palms from the upper balcony. Welcome back!

Tutting is what we make do with when we're amongst the rest of you. I for one am looking forward to a full-on, under-breath, every-other-word's-a-swearword moaning rant.

I sat up there once, we beat Bolton 4-0 in 2008. Me and my old man had free tickets from his work so used them as a change from the Holte. It was like being in a different ground rather than stand. When we scored everyone stood up, clapped politely and sat back down again in silence. Never again.

You never know, West Mids Travel may even put a bus on.  Only one, mind you.
It'll have to be a double decker now.

And what's wrong with that? But it's  not easy doing that four times in a single match😥
Wouldn't it be nice if the entire ground behaved with a bit of decorum like UT instead of hugging and kissing and aimlessly pointing at away fans when we score attempting to sing "who arr yaa" at them.

Why have all the concourse lights been on for every game this season, even though there's not been a sausage up there?

As a tight fisted bloke who moans when the hall light is left on, turns the thermostat down to near freezing and encorages jumpers & blankets instead of having the gas fire on, this really grinds my gears. It must cost a fortune on the electric!

My mate got a couple of free tickets sitting there a couple of years ago.  We got a few hard stares due to our 'encouragement and enthusiasm' during the game.

I can recall one slightly older couple who we had to ask to get by to get to our seats who had their blanket and flask out. They did not say a word to each other or any other person during the whole ninety minutes even when we scored.

If they switched the lights out in the Upper Tier a drone would probably fly into it.

Never mind the upper tier anyway: the central section of the middle tier is so sparsely populated that they could probably get by with a few reading lamps.

That really gets on my nerves, we have a huge directors section that is always more than half empty, right in the middle of the Trinity. It looks terrible.

Why not reduce the size of this area and make more seats (the best in the ground) available to fans?
