Even Priority 1 holders need to register their interest and confirm a seat, they are guaranteed to get one so it’s not a ‘ballot’ in that sense, but there would be a few people who paid for a Priority 1 membership who for whatever tragic reason can’t make the GF, which I suppose is why they are not just allocated automatically.
Humble pie absolutely taken and I’m not sure I’d have been as restrained as this if I was gloating in your place, so good on you for that.
Though to be fair the maths was spot on; the psychology way off!
Could you send Simpson to the gallows for it? Possibly not, but if you’re happy that you can see that it was one coach 4 votes to Gaff but want to belabour the pedantic point that technically we don’t know if it was “he’s a good bloke really and I gave him a little cuddle” Simpson or “it was an off ball hit that had me comforting his distraught mother” Lyon, (paraphrasing), then I guess I’m learning my annual-ish lesson of why I read but do not generally participate in internet fora.
Normally enjoy your work MS but it’s definitely one coach 4 votes, presumably Simpson because of the two how could it be Lyon, I’ll explain below:
Yeo must have two fives, as he got 10.
So the only way Redden can get 7 is a 4 and a 3.
That leaves one ‘4’ still to give and as nobody else got 4 or above except for Gaff it must be him.
