Qualification : Port Vale + 4 away games last season for Season Tickets Holders (6+ for members).
Same both fixtures. Sure Luton won't be an issue at 12.30 on Sky!
So essentially if you didn’t go to Port Vale you aren’t going to Wimbledon.
Very harsh on away fans who went to multiple games last season.
I'm in this boat. Very annoyingQuote:

Home end it is then (at least if you live in England)!
I share a postcode with the Wimbledon stadium so that won’t be a problem for myself. Rather not however.Quote:

Likewise....and I've booked accommodation/trains already.Quote:

Hopefully the club have pushed for more than the 946 allocation Lincoln received this weekend and it's much closer to the maximum. If so I suspect near enough everyone who wants to go will. If it's around the 900 mark then there's going to be a lot of disappointed people.
Yep. Just checked and 1500 seems the max. We'll take more than that to PV, I'm sure, meaning those who did plenty of aways last season (but not PV) could well miss out if (when?) demand exceeds supply.Quote:

That's a complete joke if I've been informed accurately.
I won’t be adding Wimbledon into my 92 then. Shame. Probably the same for Stevenage. The downside of small stadiums.
Unless we are flying in december I'd be surprised if Stevenage has the same issues that this game is going to. Freezing cold night in the most expensive month of the year and the kids aren't out of school. In theory that should be easier.Quote:

Someone who attends travel meeting will be better placed but my understanding is they'll get tickets for people as part of booking the coach but only if they meet the correct criteria.Quote:

Looks like no room for increase.
Trouble with having such criteria is that those who dont qualify will already be behind when criteria is announced based on this seasons aways.Quote:

Who’s idea is it to base it on a game on a solitary game on a Thursday night in the summer holidays over last seasons 24 games. Would love to know which person is actually responsible for that decision if it ludicrous.
The knock on effect is that I will now be 0/3 from this season and very unlikely to get a Stockport ticket, which will make it 0/4 having done 12 aways last season
