Yeah that's what I (finally) understood it as. Bob has bought 4 tickets and 3 have gone back to the club to be gifted to someone else to use. Bob was then told he could go and, under normal circumstances, so could the 3 others (presumably the club have thought all four were in a family or a friends group with Bob) but with the restrictions groups going and Bob having explained the situation, it's either Bob goes himself or the three others go (assuming the other 3 tickets he handed back tot he club have gone to a family). Not great but given the restrictions that's what needs to happen although Bob, as the main ticket "holder" should really have been given first shot given he paid for them.

As I understand Bob's post, he is not getting to go, but the tickets that he bought, and gifted to whoever are allowed to go. Great gesture by Bob and a kick in the balls by the club. Or am I missing something? Surely an oversight by the club?

I've confirmed with the club that folk who don't have an email address are included in the ballot. Tickets have been printed off and put in the post for some without email addresses whose name came out in the ballot. Incidentally, whilst I was down at the stadium today, and elderly gentleman came into the shop wanting to buy a ticket for the game. He apparently was aware that fans were now allowed back in the stadium but not about the details. It was explained to him that it would likely be some time before tickets would be available for general sale. He did not have an email address and quite likely does not go online. It is so easy for those of us who access the internet to keep up to date with what is going on, but clearly it is difficult for those who don't. Perhaps if folk know of others who don't go online it would be a nice gesture to give them a ring from time to time to keep them in the loop.

3 hours old and already in the strip Northstandfan super proud of you and my new grandson. Future Northstander sorry if it’s not appropriate for this part of the forum but just had to do it.

My point is I bought these tickets a. To help the club out as they needed money and b.to donate to a family that needed them. They advertised this on social media that they were going to double this. I'm not having a go but it looks like they got a but forgot about b.

Here’s a thought - John Hughes to replace him?

Got a phone call from the club today asking if I would like to attend Saturdays game. Off course I accepted. To cut a long story short I bought four seasons tickets at the start of the season and donated three back to help the club and any fans that couldn't afford to attend. Asked for who would be attending with me I told them them the situation and was told that it was only available to the block of three and I couldn't attend. Disappointed doesn't begin to tell you how I feel.
