Would have thought we'd hear in the next few days mate. Some teams have had normal allocations pre season ,I know some Villa who went to Stoke and Leicester at Burton last week and everything was pretty much normal for them , they weren't test events.

Took the smaller allocation again, thought we may've taken nearer 2500 if we had the full allocation considering its the first away in over a year. 

[alehouseboys]

On this occasion I can understand the club taking the smaller allocation. It’s been a while but first away since COVID, who knows how many will be happy to go to home games but hold off on travelling?

Traditionally the worst supported away game in the North West, seen as the lesser fixture of the numerous  times a season we seem to go there, long trip, motorway usually fooked. We’ve taken around 4-5,000 to Wigan the past couple of times we’ve been there!

Probably change with their new stadium if we’re still around.

I'm interested in Newcastle, make a small break of staying with friends in the Dales and train from Darlo or even a cheap hotel for a messy Saturday night. Any recommendations?

Have stayed here in the past https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g186394-d1068261-Reviews-The_Brighton-Newcastle_upon_Tyne_Tyne_and_Wear_England.html

Not exactly luxurious. But easy walking distance to the stadium and therefore the city center

[suewhistle]

Cheers. It says 'somewhat walkable' but that is for the general decrepit population, not football fans! If I can't get a ticket I may not head North but the match is always a useful peg around which to arrange a trip.

Have stayed in Premier Inn a few times up there, usually a decent price and good location near Quayside 

It's a bank holiday weekend, brilliant nightlife up there will be a lively Saturday night. Can't imagine tickets will be a problem, train fares are sky high and not many will fancy sitting on a coach for 7 or 8 hours.

Don't think I'll do it mate, looking at £120 return from Kings Cross , takes the piss really, cheaper for those with railcards or maybe a group ticket 

[suewhistle]

It helps having a cheap to run electric car, and, as I say, stopping off to see friends. Rail (with card) for the final leg from Darlington is £15. I'll have a look at the Premier Inn, they sometimes have chargers too..

This is my thinking. Just looked and it's £14 worth of Super Charging to get to Newcastle - which is absolutely feck all and a bit of a no brainer, even if it does mean driving home with a hangover the next day  

[suewhistle]

Yes, you win some and you lose some. If I drive to the home game tomorrow it'll be pence in fuel but by train it's £10 + pub cost!

Bit of a joke if true….

I'd be surprised if we sell the lower 1800 allocation to be honest, I've been to Goodison about 20 times and can't think of any occasions we took more than that except maybe when Saints subsidised tickets to £10 end of season 2018.

Most trips there aren't usually after nearly 2 seasons of no fans though...

[SaintBitterne]

Pretty reasonably priced flight available from Bournemouth to Liverpool on the morning of the 14th still available

Anyone know roughly how many tickets are left on sale for Everton?

Loads left , they shaded out the restricted view from the start guess they just make them available once normal ones are sold, the new ticket website is even less user friendly than the last one but my guess is at least 900 left.

I wonder if all the fans that were moaning that the club did not take the full allocation of 2800odd and that they wouldn't get a ticket are now suddenly busy and unable to attend.
