Away ticket priority – Who are the winners and losers?

Matches, Opinion

Huddersfield Town have confirmed the priority system for their forthcoming season in the Premier League. As predicted in my earlier article about the difficulties in working out an away ticket priority system, many fans have been left feeling aggrieved. There are winners and losers with the system that’s been announced but I personally think that the club have done a good job of trying to make a system that gives everyone a chance but rewards fans that have followed the club for the longest. The system isn’t completely fair though, so here’s my interpretation of the winners and losers.

Six things we learned from the Accrington Stanley friendly

Matches, Opinion

As I said in my preview of the Accrington Stanley friendly, I'm not a big fan of preseason games. I find them frustrating to watch even though I know that they're meant for building fitness rather than entertaining the crowds. Having said that, there are a few things we can take away from the game which are quite interesting. Here are six things I noticed: Embed from Getty Images Nahki Wells may have to play deeper to get game time Last night Nahki Wells played in the second-half 11, alongside Laurent DePoitre. I thought this may have represented a change in formation to accommodate two strikers but it seems that Nahki played deeper, as a number 10. He later played in central midfield when Kasey Palmer replaced Mark Hudson. I don't think he's likely to play in the midfiel...

PREVIEW: Accrington Stanley v Huddersfield Town – Pre-season friendly

Matches, News

Huddersfield Town play their first friendly of the pre-season against Accrington Stanley on Wednesday evening. It's Town's first game since their historic playoff final victory that saw them promoted to the Premier League. I suspect this game will be substantially more low-key. I have to confess that I'm not a big fan of pre-season friendlies, so won't be going to this game. They're good for raising fitness levels, testing out tactics and helping new players gel but they're rarely much of a spectacle.

Away ticket priority for 2017/18 – Who should be at the front of the queue?

Matches, Opinion

This season will see David Wagner and his team coming up against some of the best teams in club football and have to solve problems that seem impossible. Before any of that, the club have a problem to solve that's as tough as any of the tactical challenges in the Premier League. Away ticket priority. Town will receive a maximum of 3,000 tickets for away games in the Premier League next season. It seems very likely that demand will outstrip supply and some fans will be left disappointed. The dilemma for the club is how to divide the tickets up fairly. Or if some people will miss out, who is the most deserving of a place at the front of the queue? Embed from Getty Images Who are the different groups of people with a claim to priority tickets? There is a thread on Down At The Mac wh...
