FAQ at the bottom “Any Flexi Season Ticket Member who purchases 16 or more home Premier League matches throughout a season will be eligible to change to a Gold, Platinum or 93:20 Season Ticket for the following season, should they wish to.”

@lloyd_scragg I’m not sure I understand the negativity about Flexi Gold STs. My son (16) has had his first one this year. It’s worked perfectly for him. He’ll have attended all 19 PL games by the end of the season and paid the same price as a “proper” ST.

@MaxRadwan If your points totals in the original post are correct then the team that’s won the league has won 6 of 20 (not 7), the second place team has won 7 of 20, and the remaining 7 were drawn.
So pretty even all round.

@Joshh_N17 @thenugget375 @agrudos @HotspurEdition Spurs signed Gray from Leeds after one decent season in the Championship because he felt he was ready for the step up to the Prem and didn’t want another season in the Champo.
Now after 2 years in the Prem you think he’s hanging around and accepting the step down 😂😂😂

@Timheming @JoyJan15 Yes 2022 wasn’t a fully combined event, although I seem to remember Thursday was partly combined with all the women, at least one younger male AG (M25-29?) and the older males M60+.

[Andy Nelson @Sub3_in_40s]

@Timheming @JoyJan15 That’s not true, as long as Ironman maintain the same process, because the Kona Standard won’t change for men or women until after the 2026 event.

“We first create the “Kona Standard”… based on the last 5 editions of DUAL-GENDER Kona events”

[Andy Nelson @Sub3_in_40s]

@Timheming I’m just thankful it was yesterday and not on Saturday, as it’d have been miserable for competitors and supporters alike.

@City_Xtra @ManCity @citymattersreps “the Club may reduce prices for a Premier League match… during the season”

So if you buy tickets in July then the club get the benefit/interest on your payment for months in advance, and you could pay more than someone who buys a ticket a few weeks/days before the match?!?

[Andy Nelson @Sub3_in_40s]

@RCMCFCX3 @ManCity @ManCityHelp Yeah, just seen the updated wording 👍

@slbsn @reith_james ~3x covers about 2/3rds of SS3.

The rest of the South Stand and the Family Stand is closer to 2x.

Then add the premium prices for the other “Big 6” clubs (if they don’t try and sell them as off-site corporate packages), and I think it’s a not insignificant factor?

[Andy Nelson @Sub3_in_40s]

@slbsn @reith_james The price for members (paid in July last year) for the Villa game in SS3 was £66, so three times the price of James’ season ticket price! There’s the rationale(?)
And tickets for pretty much every game were “sold out” within days, if not hours, at that time (before returns etc).

@MartinPengelly @MoortownRUFC Almost 50% of those pictured made it to his funeral. A certain measure of the impact he had on us all.

As did an ex-England coach, and at least one ex-England player Roger had coached sent a message of condolence, as he was otherwise engaged yesterday.

@Marathon_Mcr Allocations 1 and 2 sold out before offering places to your most loyal customers???

[Andy Nelson @Sub3_in_40s]

@Marathon_Mcr No priority entry emails for @Marathon_Mcr “Legends”?

[Andy Nelson @Sub3_in_40s]

A great article, for a great man, who was a massive influence on my teenage years.
RIP Roger.

[Martin Pengelly @MartinPengelly]

“Roger was a great coach. Kind, but not soft. Tough, but not harsh. Inventive, but pragmatic. And when he saw a player in need of particular attention, he set out to give it.”

@Marathon_Mcr Do those of us in the @Marathon_Mcr Legends Club need to pre register for priority access to 2026 entries, or will we get an invitation automatically?

[Andy Nelson @Sub3_in_40s]

@AmosMurphy_ @ignoblewretch Clearly it’s all relative, but I thought the ticket prices last night weren’t too bad (given the strength of the opposition).
£57.50 (total) for myself and my son. Which is more than £15 cheaper than a member’s adult ticket (alone) would be for the same seat for Liverpool game.

@lukkyluke82 @fmeetsdata “unless Zagreb wins with about 10 goals against Milan” (7 goals actually, as per my post above)

So basically you agree with me, there is a possible scenario where Stuttgart don’t progress (however, unlikely) with a draw, and hence their probability shouldn’t be 100%.

[Andy Nelson @Sub3_in_40s]

@fmeetsdata You don’t need to run 10,000 scenarios to identify that both Man City and Zagreb are 2pts behind Stuttgart so a draw does not mathematically confirm their progression (however unlikely that maybe).

So, the probability of Stuttgart progressing with a draw cannot be 100%.
