The opportunity for first come first serve changes the norm

when 20,000 season ticket holders sit in the same place every week, order takes care of itself

When 26,000 random ticket purchases are made, the assumption is the same, but very different

I hadn't thought about the rivalry and injuries

We'd be better doing a tour of Spain, playing Betis Sevilla Malaga and Almeria. Warm weather training, good opposition in a close area. Would be a pretty epic holiday for some too :s
