Probably been discussed, but on what basis did the authorities have an issue with us having a late kick off against Southampton, but were presumably okay with them kicking off at 4:30 today? Can’t get my head around that one

I don’t think they did.

It was originally pencilled in for Monday/Sunday night but for some reason once that was leaked the fans forum got involved and asked for it not to be a night game.

Also, it could have been at 4pm on the last day of the season but the club didn’t want that.

When will the ballot winners get word they have been successful?

Depends which ballot you are in. If you are in the 15+ ballot then you should hear today and be able to buy tickets on Wednesday.
In the highly unlikely event there are any tickets left the folk in the 1+ ballot will hear on Thursday to be told how they will buy remaining tickets.

Probably didnt want thousands of pissed up blues without tickets milling around at k.o time, for obvious reasons

Its the basis that means the derby at their place can be midweek or Sunday 4:30pm, but Goodison seems to be lunchtime Saturday, apart from when a postponement means it gets pushed to a midweek late in the season.

And who can forget the 0-0 against Birmingham in 82 a couple of weeks after the rs tonked us,i was one of the 20,000.will just have to watch on the tele with tears in my eyes,UTFT.
 
Its harsh that people who have been going since forever are going to miss out but its just one of those things. The club couldn't organise a prayer in a mosque. You can hardly expect them look back at everyone's individual historical records. Flawed as it might be, they've tried to be as fair as possible.
