    I suspect the profits from merchandise and drinks and food will go to the club

    I thought a lot of these facilities were ‘outsourced’, so the profit would go to those who have the contract, unless they have to buy the rights for this match? Not sure if their arrangements will cover preseason fixtures. Again @Glenn Ackroyd@Glenn Ackroyd may well be able to help. Nothing to stop the contract holders donating all or even a percentage of their profits to the Darby fund.

    Perhaps one of those Car Raffles, where the profit is donated to the Darby fund? I am sure @Fordy117@Fordy117 could spare the odd Merc S500? ;)

    I think that would be fair enough. And obviously the operating costs for the game should be covered. But I’d hope that most, if not all of the gate receipts are donated to charity, otherwise it feels a little bit like exploitation and false pretences

    You cannot select a specific seat online, only an area. Then they allocate the seats, sacked it off for now, as they are selling from the front row up

    Has anyone had this issue this morning?

    Went to buy two, chose stand, didn't let me actually pick the seats so just bought assuming it would assign two next to each other but they're not according to what it says on the site. Already paid for them as well :/

    Can't pick seats online but they'll put them next to each other. If it hasn't let you when you first gone in, just go back out and keep trying till you get two together.

    If you've paid for them, just ring the club up. Mick Lamb is fantastic to deal with.

    My thought is that if you just want a solo seat or ones with other ST/Flexis buy now, however if you want to take F&F there may well be some spare.

    If they dedicate the Midland Road to Liverpool, then that still leaves a potential 19,000+ seats.

    The Reading FA Cup game in 2015 apparently had an attendance of 24,231.

    So if the Midland road holds 4,500, then that leaves around 19,800 seats with under 14,000 ST/flexis and the BT Poll suggesting 23.5% not attending and another 12.9% ‘not sure’, then there should be more than enough.

    Even if Liverpool were also allocated the Bradford End, then that would be only 1,830 seats less.

    The official capacity (although not necessarily the actual one) is 25,136 https://web.archive.org/web/20130204001546/http://www.bradfordcityfc.co.uk/club/visit-us/

    So I guess that there will be more than enough seats on the basis of a potential of up to 6,330 to Liverpool and 18,806 to City.

    I don’t think it will sell out. Was questioned earlier in the thread for saying it.

    Unless we get Liverpool fans moving into home end to get a ticket if they go on general sale.

    I agree with your prediction. However a number become perhaps overly excited. I have always got seats for VP games and spare for F&F and away games. The only major fail was the Chelsea match #Iwasnotthere! ;)

    Hi,

    All ticket receipts, less the costs (ie stewarding etc) will go to the charity.

    The food/drink contracts are franchised out. The catering providers receive income from beer and food sales etc.

    If people buy any merchandise from the club shop - Again, this is now franchised out and separate from the club and the income will go to the rights holders.

    Many people on the day, including club staff, will be donating their time for free. Where we have to utilise 3rd parties, we have to pay them for their time/services/product.
