So we have a snip under 1,700 for the first leg. I hope we reduce their VP allocation too.

Pathetic from them. Shame Forest fans have to suffer but we should absolutely reduce their allocation, too.

I'm in the third pot on 4 aways. I think I will just miss out.

How do you get refundable flights? I just went on a website but when I clicked through it said I couldn't cancel or change the tickets.

You normally have to pay more to get the option.

Book directly on a reputable airline website and after clicking on your chosen timing it will give you a choice to pick  basic, flexible or more flexible. Words may be different but pick the highest fare and T&Cs for it should amongst other things mention fully refundable for any reason. For Pegasus add the cancel anytime additional fee to your chosen fare as Hard Boiled Eggs said.

Well there’s probably 450 in Pot 1 (the Go Ahead Eagles mob) so I’m guessing at another 500 - 750 or so in Pot 2 so about 1200 maybe more. But this is pure guesswork Ls.

Why? 1700 is the UEFA agreed 5% allocation as Forests capacity is 34k. We’ll no doubt return the favour and give them 2100 which is 5% of ours.

Forest have allocated 1699 tickets for away fans @ approx 6% of capacity

If we offer 6% of capacity to match theirs they get 2580 - usual away allocation for Premier games (based primarily around segregation) is 2900.

Maybe it sucks having a bigger ground - if it was Mould Trafford then 6% would equate to 4800

Looks like it would have been 5% if segregation worked out efficiently - We've probably got that little bit more, just due to the layout of the blocks in the stand.
If 5% 'fits' nicely in Witton Lane, fcuk em. Less of our fans will get to the semi away, so why should they have more of their fans at our place than is required by UEFA?

Five percent of 43,157 (our highest gate this season) is 2,158, rounded up.

Given they appear to have given us 5.4% I hope we don't give them the full regular PL allocation.

Can anyone recommend a 'reputable' site for searching flights? I haven't got a Scooby.
