Have you contacted the club?

Theoretically, yes. The email sent to everyone who has tickets said that people who were allocated tickets but are now in a Tier 3 area should contact the club for a refund, which rather suggests the club won't necessarily be pro-active on this. No idea how that'll play out, to be honest.

99% certain the FA Cup will be done differently and separately. Anyone who's had a ticket for the Sheffield United or Man City games will be back in the pot for any potential ballot for Shrewsbury - guess they'll let everyone in the two priority groups buy a ticket (perhaps not everyone takes up their option for that one, though), expect corporate takeup would be down a bit too, so there might even be more ballot tickets available for season ticket holders.

Last Saturday afternoon before Christmas? I wouldn't have thought so

Problem with the Itchen is that because of the tunnel and all the other corporate and admin facilities that side of the stadium, the concourse is relatively small. The Kingsland concourse stretches the entire length of the stand, so it's very easy for people to keep a distance.

Just recorded this evening, would expect it'll be out either (very) late tonight or early tomorrow.

That was Jon Moss.

Amazing to think that Palace paid £30m for him a few years back and at one point he was genuinely quite good

Suspect the numbers are a lot lower than that, tbh. My understanding was that around 10,000 had renewed, but a number of those would have done so almost exclusively to guarantee retaining their seat for future seasons and would opt out of games this season (or at least in the early part of any return). I'd imagine it's a 1 in 2 shot if it was a pure ballot - I'd be slightly concerned, though, as someone who doesn't live in the area that the club might prioritise those who live in an SO postcode with a view to minimising the travel aspect of things.

I think there may have been a caching issue from the last software update - I've cleared the CDN cache, so hopefully now if you clear your own browser caches, it should make sure that all the right files are being loaded, which will then allow the images to display.
