Yeah no chance if you’re 5 or 6
Very slim chance I'd say
Think there's around 32k ST holders, which is pretty similar to the allocation. Though from our 32k allocation the club have to take out tickets for players (families and freinds etc), other club staff, hospitality clients / sponsors etc. It says in the article that they're not taking away as many as last time but I'd still expect this to be somewhere in the region of 3 to 5k.
Say it's 5k, then that leaves about 27k for supporters. Which is less tickets than ST holders. You'd imagine the vast majority of ST holders would be enrolled on the cup scheme as presumably most would want to go to everyone home game they can and take advantage of the cheaper ticket prices the scheme offered. If they calculated that pots 1, 2 and 3 are guaranteed a ticket but not pot 4, then there must be more than around 27k or so ST holders who are on the cup scheme and have not transferred / resold ticket for more than 1 home cup game.
I reckon most ST holders will be in pots 2 or 3 (pot 1 for those who also do the away games), so can't see there being many in pots 4 or 5. There'll be loads of people in pot 6.
Think it'll all depend on the number of people who qualify for tickets in pots 1, 2 and 3 who actually want to / can go. Though I suspect most probably will be able to / want to.
