Yes. Have to work out how to do it with 2 kids as if I take a seat, how do I sit with them, if I take standing ticket will they accept 5 years of standing.

Can I upgrade at some point, maybe not as could be dependant upon seats available etc.

So with those things in mind I am a probably but need to work out the best way forward for me with 2 young lads coming to the games with me.

Going by the order number you get off the club shop website & assuming it goes up in increments of 1 when an order is placed, then since this morning there have been at least 84 orders made.

Hopefully a lot of them will have been for the 500 club, I've bought one myself.

Taking the weighted average price across the 4 packages, £866.50, and then take off 20% for VAT, means we have to sell around 300 to get close to the £225k target.

I'm seriously considering it. I might be missing this though but if I do get one it doesn't appear to include priority tickets for cup matches, if we were to get any. If this isn't the case doesn't seem particularly fair seeing as I would be stumping up so much cash.

Just to clarify though this isn't in anyway a game changer it's just a comment before anyone jumps on my back.

Not jumping on your back. But I cant remember a game in the last 5 years where we've needed a priority system, everyone can usually get a tickets to a game with a tiny bit of organization. But having said that they might release some more benefits like this in the years to come, time is just a factor at the moment.

As I said not a game changer, just need to juggle some finances about.

Then there's nothing to debate. Closing date is before then so it looks like you're out of luck Andy.

Done and dusted. 4 of us bought this morning. So that's £3,600 in the pot.

Sounds like quite a few are being bought. Some sort of totaliser on the official site would be good, may help people make up there minds if they see other people getting them and also the fact the amount available is reducing all the time.

Just applied for me and my son. Another £1750 in the pot.
Judging by the reaction last night and the comments so far today, I think that the 500 club will go very quickly.

Just took a place in the 500 club. Has made a little dent but in the long run it's well worth it and adds more useful funds to the move home.

Can I ask, is it the confirmation email we need to send back to the club once we have bought it?

I think Dave Mills said the club will do their best but obviously could be tricky, I am assuming once we know where we are the club will contact those who have picked seated tickets and sort this out.
