Can we get over the multi page moaning every time a game is all ticket? The rules have been published and procedures tested several times over. No matter what system is used, someone somewhere will be disappointed, and the club have said they will look at genuine cases. I was too lazy to do what was necessary for replay tickets, but have to choose games for family and work reasons, so no big deal.

So you could go to umpteen games and spend gawd knows how much following the team and that counts for nothing? if fiteen quid is nothing then please send it to me and I will join the fan club I didn't say it was nothing! But those are the parameters set out by the club so if you want tickets then those are rules. The £15 goes to the club to fund improvements so why would any loyal fan oppose to that! Oh I remember so they can spend there time moaning about it So, on your own basis of argument, why are you not offering to pay for me to join the fan club? You must be not very loyal because £15 is very little and it does go to fund ground improvements. Incidentally, can I count the money I raised towards the building of the ground as my 'loyalty' money. That should allow me 26 years of fan club membership. Please explain to me why steve cragg goes to lots of games but is not loyal because he hasn't paid £15 to join the fan club yet someone who has joined the fan club and not been is loyal. As you boil it down to payment, who has paid more? |

Too many people with half baked ideas.
As with the others above and with what I've said before the club have criteria.
Whatever they do someone will moss out and complain.
Fifteen pounds for the fan club is worth it for situations like this and as Rob said it goes into ground improvements.
I'm sure Terry, Oliver and Bill will take everything into account and see if anything else can be done when this happens again.

The rules for all ticket games are clearly stated. Join the fan club and be there at the correct time to get your tickets. Loyalty doesn't come into it. It's about following a set of rules. If you can t do that then the club can t be held responsible. So, Nigel, please explain why it was OK to sell more than one ticket at a time? It was clearly stated that it would be one ticket per person and these, as you say, were the clearly stated rules. As that appears to have happened again it appears the likes of Steve Cragg have lost out because clearly stated rules were not followed. I am not including myself here because I made no attempt to get a ticket. Anyway, I have understood the point about loyalty. No bother. |

Look on the bright side watching the Stones live on tv has never happened in the past. So find a pub with bt sport and enjoy the game with a few pints.

Fifteen pounds for the fan club is worth it for situations like this and as Rob said it goes into ground improvements. I'm sure Terry, Oliver and Bill will take everything into account and see if anything else can be done when this happens again. What ideas are half-baked and why? People who follow their team with a passion to small fixtures with only a couple of hundred people only to find they are excluded from the glamour big games are moaning. Well shame on them. Those who say £15 is nothing and it goes to fund ground improvements are welcome to pay for me to join the fan club. I have received no offers on this great chance to show loyalty while losing virtually nothing in the process so far. You keep saying there is stated criteria and for the second maybe more games where this has occurred there are genuinely loyal fans moaning while, seemingly, one-gamers are benefiting. Maybe the criteria is wrong or are you suggesting that nobody should query criteria and suggest improvement? |

Tried ti have a debate, didn't you? However, simply incapable. Not quite as far as your dummy last week though, eh? |

As you boil it down to payment, who has paid more? I didn't comment on the loyalty of anyone. I've just stated that the club has set out the rules for purchasing tickets. If u can't follow these then you won't get a ticket it's not rocket science. Why should I pay for yr membership? On the point of loyalty if I wish to discuss this in detail I'll be in the Springfield end on Tuesday  I've done more that enough for the club in the past but that exactly what it is the past . They need the support now and in the future |

There are very many fan club members who come to most games and fully deserve a reserved ticket but thats because thy attend many games not because a one off payment of £15 .
However a non member who comes to most games contributes far more to the club's coffers then a member that hardly ever comes I just wonder how new members were recruited since sunday?

Why was there less then 2,000 in the ground today if all season ticket holders and club members were there plus all wanting to buy tickets. Which regular supporters didn't turn up today. Can I just point out that I wasn't there today and I am a season ticket holder, I live about the same distance as NWS, I was there on Wednesday night when the tickets were not available. I called the club on Thursday morning requesting that tickets were reserved for myself and the other two season ticket holders I attend games with, and was told in no uncertain terms could tickets be reserved for me. When I suggested I couldn't get down before 9pm on Thursday or Friday the answer I got was pretty much "tough, you'll have to take your chance on Saturday".... I didn't want to take my chance so I left work early on Thursday and got to the ground about 8:45 and duly got my tickets. But there was no way I was going to make a 3rd journey in a week to the game today purely out of principle that the club would rather I spent my money on petrol to ensure I got tickets rather than spend it on the gate today and take a chance on getting tickets. My point being that even being a season ticket holder I didn't feel the club showed me too much loyalty so I have complete sympathy with those who attend most games and have missed out today. |

Just seen the Facebook comments about tickets being sold out, and someone is moaning they should not have gone to season ticket holders, members and away fans. The very three groups who should be taken care of. That leaves a few hundred tickets. It's hard, but until the ground is expanded it will never be enough and many will be disappointed.

Really disappointed I didn't get a ticket, and surprisingly there were many more I spoke to who were in the same boat. With a crowd of 1423 & guessing that half already had tickets, I mistakenly thought there would be no trouble getting one. Agree totally about the member scheme & shouldn't have took the chance, but surely with today's numbers, tickets couldn't have been sold on a one per person basis?
Anyone know about returns from Stevenage, otherwise I will have to bring me ladder to the riverside?
