FA Trophy resumption?

[YeltzDoc]

a fantastic bunfight for 400 tickets

This could be brilliant. We sold 3000 odd, so everyone has to turn up on The Edward car park at ten to three, socially distanced, natch, then Roger will march around with the lucky 400 ticket numbers Blu Tacked to his board.
No news on whether or not it's an advantage to have numbers on the buff tickets.

All very exciting. God knows how it will be sorted should we get drawn at home.

Season ticket holders get first refusal? Working on the assumption that there are fewer than 400 flexis and full in circulation (I note we are developing a tendency to overstate the size of our support a smidgen- easy to forget that for however cold it was, there were fewer than 400 in attendance against Bradford PA, that we probably didn’t have 330 away against Corby, that there are still tickets for Thursday etc.), I’d have thought it would be straightforward enough to sort out.

That said, I’m almost always wrong about everything.

It would surely have to work that way. Otherwise yo could quite easily end up with 400 people there who have never seen us play before if a random draw is made of the 3000 ticket holders!

Actually it wouldn't be 400 for us as surely Concord would have to be given a percentage.

Whoever gets to the final, there's another imponderable.

The Times article said 10,000 fans allowed, although that hasn't been repeated by the DCMS, but let us assume it's right.

Is that 2.5k for each of the Vase finalists and 2.5k for each of the Trophy finalists? Or 5k for each, with a reasonable bit of time between the two games to make sure that the previous mob have cleared out?

However the FA opened sales for the original Non-League finals day in a neutral zone, online months before the curtailment of the season. Would they honour these tickets, potentially how many of these could eat into the 10,000 already...

We should find out where, if not when and how, either later this week - https://twitter.com/halesowentownfc/sta ... 34530?s=20 - or tomorrow - https://twitter.com/BittonAFC/status/12 ... 50752?s=20 - if it's the same as the Vase.

Bitton seem to think they'll be told of the Vase details at 2pm. I guess that we would be the same, as the draw isn't exactly complicated.

They've confirmed to me that the Trophy draw is at 2pm as well. Everybody get their lucky pants on.

So. 2.30. The FA are on the ball again.
