This short video shows how the ticketing will work on the day and includes how sharing of tickets works if you have booked them together. https://youtu.be/ELN6-f0iVWw?si=z79G7_tNOsD9-JsX

Didn’t know that Soton had changed their “favoured” end!

Knocking the whole thing down and building a big brand new stand would be proper balls out. Keeping the central core of a stand that's widely regarded as unfit for purpose just feels a bit Doug.
All that is being retained of the existing stand is the concrete frame. A team of professional consultants have clearly advised that this is fit for purpose, or they wouldn’t be re-using it. There are definitely some compromises in re-using this, in terms of restrictions on layout, how it connects to its neighbours, and capacity, but presumably these are all outweighed by the benefits in terms of not having to divert below ground utilities, build period, and presumably cost. Getting to the higher capacity faster also allows the club to test demand I. A way they can’t at the moment,

EFL Regulation 3.4, which requires clubs to act towards each other with the utmost good faith; and

EFL Regulation 127, which prohibits any club from observing, or attempting to observe, another club's training session within 72 hours of a scheduled match between the two clubs.

Being a pedant, but isn’t the consensus that the view is great from the North Stand but the concourses are shite?  I think that is being addressed by the removal of offices.

Otherwise I kinda agree.  Typically corporate types want to be on the halfway line, however the north stand offered parking and space to offer proper restaurant style facilities.  Most the other stands are compromised for space one reason or another.
I've only sat in the NS upper a handful of times. I recall it being very steep with a fantastic view. However the legroom is appalling if you're more than 5ft 5in tall.

You may think it's bunk, but I'm not sure if the authorities will.
What's the written rule that has been defiled?

There's a rule against doing it so zero sympathy for anyone stupid enough to be caught doing it.

I've paid through the nose for a ticket so if  I get a code this late it's very poor.

I was the only one in our lot without a ticket, so didn't want to be on my own waving every other fucker off to the stadium, it would've broken my heart.

I did see a tweet from AVFC support that said all codes had been sent, and that was this morning?
A mate of mine got a code this evening around 5pm

Yes I've heard that from elsewhere, seems odd, in effect you need to wait until the window is all but shut but if you're not successful many other avenues may have closed by then.
