Will they be having Prawn sandwich's?

Going back to the subject of STH being given priority.

Can someone explain what the logic is behind them being allowed up to 6? How often do the STH's take 5 people with them?

If they all take advantage of this it really would penalise other supporters, both regular and new, but especially those that pay on the day.

I agree with season ticket holders and members having first refusal, then proven regulars. The people who attend regularly shouldn't have to worry about missing out on a big game to a once a season supporter. 6 tickets seems excessive. Maybe 3 would be more like it. I very much doubt that they will all want 6 tickets each. How many STH are there? Say 300-350, that's still only around 2000 there should be plenty left.

Just hoping for an excellent gate vs Kiddie AND Stevenage.  Would love to be at both, but still a COVID Coward with underlying condition.  My fault through 40 years of smoking!  Such a pity reading about attendances and capacity, as, watching other clubs around our level, we have failed miserably to develop our ground.  Even newbies to our level and up to 2 levels lower at least have properly tiered terraces and cover behind the goals.  The No-man’s land between the end of the Main Stand to the Hospital End corner flag is no more than village level (ie, flat as a pancake).  We are capable of being a much bigger club at a higher level.  Still, we have good times ahead, as long as we continue to pick our best players above Chess-like “systems”.  COYL! Dillification suggests that Dani Olmo of Spain will be a huge name after the World Cup.  G’ bye - My turn to make the coffee!…..

So, ticket wise, just to clarify......

Ordinary folk (not ST holders or members) can buy a ticket for Stevenage before the match vs Kidderminster, or are they only available for ST holders??

I'll be asking at the ticket office anyway, but if I'm still unable to purchase one, has any ST holder on here, bought six and will have one they want to sell to me please??

I'll buy you a drink!!

I'm just wary of some of us fans missing out to "day trippers" who will attend the game as Norwich aren't playing, plus others who want to attend a "big" match

WinS, if you have purchased tickets for four of this seasons home games you can already go on the website and buy your Stevenage ticket.  If this doesn't apply you can go on the website and buy a ticket for today (or the Hemel game) and then log back in and you will be able to buy a Stevenage ticket online.

If you are not comfortable buying online, you can get a ticket for the Stevenage game from the box office between 12-2pm
or after the game today

I personally think the club has done a good job in setting clear priority windows and facilitating all of us being able to get tickets, not sure what more they could do to ensure regular fans avoid missing out on a ticket

I agree Tony, I'm not criticising the club, more the point of day trippers jumping on the bandwagon.

This season I haven't bought any tickets online (unlike last season) so I'll make sure I'm at the ticket office between 12-2

Thanks Malcolm - I see you at all the matches anyway, so I'll let myself known!!

Will let you know later if I've been successful today or not - appreciate you trying to help

Got a ticket!!

Arrived at the ground at 12:15 to find a queue of around 30 people with the ticket office just then opening - If Mr Cleeve tweets the office opens at 12:00, maybe he should inform his staff??!!

And despite the announce criteria of only being able to purchase the equivalent of what you bought today, the lad in front of me announced he bought one for Kidderminster and two for Stevenage and was of the impression he could have had as many as he wanted.

Anyway........while we were in the queue we were discussing how many Stevenage have been allocated??

Anybody know how many tickets they have been given - is it 25% of the capacity as it's the FA Cup??
Will they get all the Tennyson Road end??

Tickets already on general release.  Sold in total just over 1100 ( SC Twitter).

One club official has said they will lucky to get 3,000 there.  Which I find amazing when you consider Oldham was around 5,500.  Have times changed that much ?
What if the Hokey Cokey really is what it’s all about ?

The Oldham game was on Sky. Not everyone has Sky.

The Stevenage game will be on teresstial TV, so more will have access to it.
First they fascinate the fools, then they attempt to gag the intelligent.

Yesterday I had my normal seat in the stand. Not a steward in site . Any fans who wanted a seat were sitting where they liked as its not well signed, which upset some as they had tickets for those seats.  What stewards i could see were on the other side trying to keep the morons in order. We will be going on national TV, lets show viewers we can organise a football match. I remember the Oldham game that was a shambles, fans were sitting on the stairs to the stand.  Get this wrong and there will be
repercussions.

Still two weeks to go, so over a 1000 tickets sold already isn’t so bad. Does that include the Stevenage allocation?
Any Lynn fan would surely prefer to be there (if they could) than watch it on TV. The scenes at Doncaster were fantastic, imagine what they would be like if be book our place in the 3rd Round. I said it will be a full house and I am still sticking with that.
Speaking to people who are not regulars, but saw the highlights against Doncaster were very impressed, they are likely to go.

The club has to keep publicising this game as much as possible.  People that never go to a game are talking about it. Went in tesco yesterday, on the way to the match, and people were talking to me about how well Lynn are doing.
There is a huge opportunity to absolutely fill the ground,  something we've not seen for years.
But on social media, there's little mention of it! Someone said to me yesterday,  I'm glad you put the link for tickets on Facebook, as I'd not seen it anywhere!
This is mad, the only one with any connections to the club, who appears to be trying to publicise it is Stephen Cleeve! Even the official Facebook page and Twitter feed has little or nothing on it.
This is the biggest game for years, and could be a real money spinner,  but the club seems to think it will sell it's self!  :banghead;

I think anyone who is a casual fan is aware of it, it’s a big talking point at work places. Those who want to go, will go. It hasn’t been made all ticket, so there will be people queuing on the day. The big money could come if he win, of course there is the 67k for starters and imagine an away day at one of the big premier league sides. Of course, there is the small matter of beating Stevenage first.
I’m sure the people of Lynn will turn up, they usually do for the ‘big event’.
