Letter from the club popped through my door today.  In brief....

Delay in issuing numbers down to social distancing of the ground taking longer than anticipated.

'Free' iFollow passes will continue - small pickings but it's not really free, I do wish the club would get someone to sense check some of their communications.  It is minor and a single word but it just sticks in the throat sometimes.

Reminder for buying away passes.  Club made £4000 from the Walsall game.

Over 1400 season tickets sold with only 24 not allocated in the stand of their choice.  Ground has a potential capacity of 2600 when we finally return.
That's more tickets sold than I thought and also a higher capacity.  

Personally my ticket is 8 seats away from 'my seat', can't grumble at all about that.

I’ve moved 6 seats. Think the club have done a decent job trying to keep you close to your normal seat.

18 seats away from my seat in an area densely populated by season tickets. Nice to have the the update. Would be even better if anyone had any idea when we’ll be able to sit in our new seats but I think the next time we’re allowed back in social distancing will be over.

I'm four rows further back but down at the Osmond end instead of previous central location. Have to make sure I don't forget my specs or the Pontoon end will be a blur. Happy to be in The Upper though.

Strangely Croxton, I’m also 4 rows back and over to the Osmond end. I look forward, hopefully to see you there sometime, even though at the moment I don’t know you. 😎

Unfortunately unless the Government change their stance on fans in Stadiums,  it'll be some time before we get our bums on our new seats.

I am not far away- I will be wearing a red rose in my lapel and carrying a rolled up newspaper in my left hand. Running down the left side of my face is a green scorpion. If you can't find me just remember I am a Brad Pitt lookalike

We’ve been moved about 5 seats towards the centre circle in the upper which feels like a result but I suspect the post in the normal seats that obscured the edge of the penalty box will now obscure the away end goal, but if we get back I’ll be more than happy to crane my neck.

I just hope the 2 lads who usually sit in the seats we “could” take haven’t been too displaced.

Feels like a good job overall by the club.

The next challenge is actually getting to use them.

Still find it mad that they're insisting season ticket holders have to contact the club to request iFollow passes - something they said would be included with the season ticket while matches remain behind closed doors. Is it really beyond their technical capabilities in 2020 to send out a mail merged email the day before a match to all season ticket holders with their code in?

Only a row down and a few seats across...can’t grumble. I’m guessing the lower number of ticket sales has helped this.

I was expecting a list of iFollow codes or one single code that would last all season but it would appear not. Again, I’m assuming this is more to do with iFollow rather than the club?

One row down and a few seats to the left. No complaints. I have read that if they won’t let us back into BP we can go and watch the Pantomime at the Auditorium which is still going to run!😎

Should be good for knight games.

I'm still in The Upper Findus but 3 rows back and 36 eats closer to the Osmond. Not ideal but considering what's happening then can't complain. The big issue is, will I get to use it ?

Believe it's a different code for each user, so it has done be done on an individual basis.

Same seat number, just 4 rows back, well happy.
