    I guess I am not sure how to handle this. I am planing to go over for the Spammers game on the 8th of march and as indicated this could be effected by the FA Cup and the EUFA Cup games. I could re-schedule the flight and Hotel, but when do the tickets go on sale for the Spammers game (for a one hotspur member?) and will I know about the EUFA and FA Cup fixtures by then so I can make a decision?:(

    Pretty much the reason I posted the list, sorry it wasn't in time for you.

    You'll know our FA Cup fate at the latest by the 17th feb.
    You'll kow our UEFA Cup fate at the latest by the 21st Feb.

    Of course, we could be out of both well before then...;)

    And of course all games are subject to change for TV reasons at short notice.
    Especialy towards the end of the season.

    It's a real mine field trying to sort out a game after the new year.
    Liverpool is a banker for the last day, and won't be moved but the rest is anyones guess.

    On sale dates all on official site, but usually six weeks before the sceduled fixture.

    But when it says "members" does that also mean One Hotspur, I thought we were kind of last on the members priority list or something. I guess either way it is well before the 21st of February so I am screwed, unless we go out earlier, which I don't think we will!

    Disregard the three tiers of memebrship that apply to season ticket holders, they already have a seat for home league games!

    When they say members sale for home league games, they mean Bronze and Lilywhite members.

    The sticky for ticket office news has the onsale dates, for cup games I list the priority period for ST holders before the onsale date for ordinary members. For league games there's no need, as explained above.

    So basically I can go with the date of Monday January 28th and get 3 other members on line with me that day to try and get the tickets all together? I guess this is the only way to try and get 4 tickets as I can only get one ticket on the day, and waiting for the guest period could be too late, plus we wouldn't get seats together anyway!:confused:

    First off, make sure you have created an online account on One Hotspur.

    Go here and click on the Activate One Hotspur Account option. You'll need your client reference number and surname for the next page.
    Note: To purchase an item on behalf of another club member, click the 'Assign' button next to the item. You will then be asked to provide their Client Reference Number and surname before being able to make the purchase.

    Please note: In order to purchase an item on behalf of another club member, you must ensure that they have already registered for their online ticketing account, as their Client Reference Number and surname will be required.

    That means that you can buy four tickets in one transaction (the ONLY way you'll get four together if buying online, as you no longer get to choose what row/seat you sit in) but each member will need to have activated their online One Hotspur account. Once they all do that, you'll need their reference number and surname.

    You select the number of tickets you require, then on the next page you get to assign the extra tickets to each of your friends accounts.

    Hope that helps.

    p.s. yes, the published date for home league games for members is always the date that applies to you.

    Oh right OK thanks - it is looking slimmer and slimmer that I will see the Spammers match - what with FA and Euro cup dates - I guess there is a possibility I could see it on Sunday as I will still be in town?

    Well, I may be in luck after all (well just for not losing money anyway) - for me to miss the match, we need to beat Reading away, then ManUr away, and then win the next draw in the FA Cup. In the Carling we need to beat the Arse - and the Euro is on the 4th and 5th, so I say worse case senerio is I will see them on Sunday instead if we beat Slavia and PSV!

    Updated again, things become much clearer once the domestic cups are out of the way!!! Also helped by so many PL fallers in the FA Cup.

    I assume the Sat 8th March fixture is still in doubt - I guess the possible outcome could be either it is played on Sunday the 9th of March, or the Uefa game is played on the Wednesday the 5th of March, or they just postpone the Spammers game till later in the year? I am going to London anyway, all is booked, I will be there on Sunday so would still see the game if that scenario pans out. What do you think is the most likely scenario based on past experience?

    s**t, have only seen this list now and about a half dozen of us have booked flights
    for the bolton game on 26th april,we could be in the eufa cup semi on the 24th, that would prob mean that the bolton game could be moved to sunday.

    Plus, if we're out and Bolton reach the semis the same will happen.

    Well worth staying over on the Saturday of the Bolton weekend.

    Well, if you're a rock and roller anyway - Stairway to Zeppelin are playing in Edmonton on the Saturday night. That's where I'll be regardless of when the game is !!

    Cups are all finished for us and our opponents now, and with TV games until the end of April announced there's only the Reading game which is yet to be confirmed.
