    I imagine all the seats will go first allocation leaving only terracing ?
    Am I better off queuing at the ticket office than online or doesn’t it make a difference?

    These tickets will sell out before general sale but if it’s a dead rubber i can’t see anymore than a few hundred travelling, especially if we have an away trip to Plymouth the following Saturday.

    If you are in the points required for purchase you are guaranteed a ticket.
    Whether that's seats or not is another matter as you aren't in the first sales.
    No need to queue at the TO

    I think even second place could go down to the wire.
    It's conceivable Cardiff don't win any of their next 4.
    Posh away, Bolton home, Town away, Reading away.

    They've got an 8 point lead on 3rd with a game in hand. There's no way with 21 points still to play that for they don't clinch 2nd.

    If you are thinking of going I would plan your travel arrangements very carefully. There are already some shortages of diesel, and the price increase in both petrol and diesel will make it a costly trip if you are planning on driving, unless there is a quick resolution to the Middle East Conflict. I would think coach/train would be a safer way to get there and back.

    Exeter is a hell of a trip there and back in a day from Bradford.
    I've been twice and I said after my last visit never again.
    Like someone already said if it's a dead rubber doubt many will travel saving money for the play off games.

    There is no shortage of diesel/unleaded fuel in the UK.
    There is however a shortage of aviation fuel and if this war continues another month it’s reported that 50% of summer flights will be cancelled.

    There should be no shortage of fuel in the uk.Only 4% of the oil passing through the straits of Hormuz goes to Europe,that's all Europe,not just the UK,so the amount coming to the UK will be very small.But,the oil companies want you to think there is a shortage,so that you will fill up at high prices and make more profit for them.Supermarkets are among the worst offenders.

    My local ASDA had no fuel at all this morning and the nearest Tesco only had unleaded, no premium unleaded or diesel. They do tend to be the cheapest by a good 8-10p a litre, but there is definitely some areas where demand is outstripping supply.

    If it's outstripping supply,it's because drivers are filling their tanks to try and beat further price increases.Sadly,it's a vicious circle.

    Not on Friday, but a few days ago I called into the Shell station at the top of Valley Parade. They had no standard or premium diesel.
    I posted about the Exeter match, which is just under four weeks away.
    If I had said diesel would be around £1.85 a litre, four weeks ago, not many would have believed it was possible.
    If everyone has filled up now, then the surge will have passed, sales will decline rapidly, as vehicles will have little capacity, and I assume a proportion of drivers will cut down on journeys.
    However in this unpredictable world, with a lot of countries desperately seeking oil, then usual supplies may well be diverted to other locations, if they outbid the UK.

    A lot of the places where it is reported on Facebook that have no fuel seem to have deliveries tha day so are only out for a few hours so could easily just be delayed truck or just a slight change in buying pattern rather than anything major but it gets reported more now because of the stuff going on elsewhere

    Tickets on sale and from the looks of it they have forgotten to apply the points required.
    Could be a free for all.

    edit. They’ve added the points needed now but for 2 hours from 10am they were effectively on general sale.

    Has this earmarked to go to with the wife but just done the maths....
    £130 train tickets
    £35 Two-Together Railcard renewal
    £197 accommodation for the weekend
    £40 match tickets
    That's £402 before you even add on food and beers for the weekend.
    So sadly going to give it a miss, bearing in mind that if we get in the play-offs there's a lot of expense associated with that.
