The studium only holds 4,200 people. If more than that want to go to a game, some sort of method has to be used to decide who gets tickets. Whichever method it is, there will always be disappointed fans. You can agrue all day about which method is preferable, but no one has yet come up with a way of squeezing more than 4,200 people into JWW.
And if someone can't be arsed to buy a ST and support the club, or at least join the supporters' club (just how hard is that?), and then go down to JWW once or twice a season to pick up your ticket (or get a mate to do it for you), I can't see that they have any right to moan about it.

I am sure south Yorkshire police could get more than 4200 into the ground at JWW.

Priority should be given to those who attended the prior 2 FA Cup matches, not season ticket holders who only turn up for the more glamorous rounds of the cup. Priority should be given to the 40 odd people who went to Gateshead in September! 🤣🤣

Well even though I have a season ticket I believe that the way tickets are distributed for all ticket games is totally unfair. If you pay your money in one payment up front or weekly as you travel the country supporting the club makes no difference, I believe that as the club grows in stature it should adopt a new method of how to fairly give out tickets. Maybe be like bigger clubs, when you travel to away games you earn a merit point and over a period of time the more points you have the more seniority you get over tickets. I feel it,s not fair for people to travel week in week out yet miss out on cup games purely because they may not be able to afford to buy a season ticket. Another option for the club is to look into organising finance for these fans to use. I,m sure there will be lots of fans who disagree with this but hey I dont really care just putting my opinion across.

If anyone has money worries but wants a season ticket then talk to the club officials an they will help you if they can,they helped me.In the end it comes down to the fact that whatever way they decide to distribute the tickets there will always be someone who says it isn't fair and that is purely human nature and you will never change that

The capacity is i believe 4000 ish I don't know how many season ticket holders but an educated guess would be 1500. The away allocation could be as many as 850. That would leave 1650 tickets left. You don't need to afford a season ticket you could just join the supporters club. Even if we were drawn at home to Manchester Utd (and the police allowed it) our allocation would remain the same. Whilst i agree that the away support is important and they do a good job generally from a Business point of view the only money received comes from home games and if i was a Director i would certainly not want to annoy season ticket holders

Two aways and an FAC game has wiped me out this month!
