Looks like there are plenty of the premium seat left for the Everton match - £504 if you fancy the middle Trinity...

Is that for the whole of the middle tier?

No it will just be hospitality seats in the central section.

It's all Unai Emery's fault. We should have kept Steve Bruce, or Paul Lambert, Eric Black, Tim Sherwood, Steven Gerrard, then we'd have had no problem at all with all this stuff.

Well we are Champions League moaners let's be honest about it. Always have been.

That's general admission that's sold out.

This is so true. The lowest for me was the 0:6 at home against Liverpool. The boy and myself, and about 1500 others stayed to the final whistle. You wouldn't have been able to give GA+ away for nothing back then

I went to the Norwich game the week with In Laws (from overseas who'd not been to a game) In Trinity Middle.  I paid about 70 quid in total for the 4 of us on the exchange. The ones that cost £150 a throw now.

The last week has shown that we've stepped it up and are ready to to mix it with Europe's elite.

I think we'll put the new North back on the agenda for next season and lock in the claim on the increased gate receipts for 18-24 months we're without.

And therein lies his whole justification.  Enough people to replace those disenfranchised but ultimately without a ticket. 

[Flamingo Lane]

So why does that statement not advise supporters that tickets may still be bought though GA+/hospitality?

On a practical level it is the only way to add 6k or 7k to the gate this decade.

Make it the boutique stand or whatever and glean £20m more income per season.

It would have to be done for 2027 to have a hope for Euro 2028. I can't see it. I hope you are right though.

I wonder if the delay and the bringing on board of Atairos was to see if the 2 year build initially proposed could in anyway be reduced? Or alternatively be expanded to include the Witton Lane? Who knows, it’s probably imperative it’s on the agenda at some point but imv it’s entirely dependent on remaining in the top 6 and Champs League/Europa League as a bare minimum. If we can push the Turnover to over £300m then hopefully that helps ease the pressure and pushes forwards the decision.

Precisely this.  A changing of the guard for the fanbase.

I doubt we're particularly concerned about the Euros.

Witton Lane is more in need of changing than anything
