What is their actual allocation? More respect for yeovil,they would have sold out weeks ago,I just don't think the Stroud area is that interested in them. Hi all, an FGR fan in peace, there are indeed not many of us! ๐ Just to get a few facts across, FGR did indeed sell out our initial allocation 3 weeks ago! We have constantly asked for more from Bristol Rovers and it is your club that are delaying things. We finally were given some more tickets from yourselves and these were quickly snapped up in a few hours, we have requested some more and are again waiting for the Gas to supply us some more, and no doubt we will sell these out if you give them to us. There is no doubt we are a very small club at this level, but our away attendances have actually been okay this season, like taking 300 to Tranmere and 200 odd to Barrow. We will take about 800 next Tuesday evening to Swindon as well. Yes very small amounts compared to the Gas but decent in comparison to our home crowds. You donโt need to tell untruths about stuff, we know we are a small club at this level, however we will take a good amount to Bristol Rovers and we make a very good noise away from home. I have watched Bristol Rovers many times, we wonโt be intimidated by your noise at all. I actually think you may be pleasantly surprised at our support though. Good luck the the rest of the season apart from Saturday and hope you join us in League 1 next year. ๐๐ Ah okay that makes sense - thanks for clarifying; I did find it incredibly odd you had sold so "few" but that explains it. Going to be some game. Dream is we win the game, but results go your way and you can celebrate promotion too - that will be some party at full time!

3 days before the game Iโve now had an email from the club saying that Iโve been moved seats in the south stand for the forest green match and given a different ticket for the game? Not happy! ๐ก

Not happy! ๐ก I guess that they are trying to maximise capacity for home fans, by us having the away terrace and putting Rovers fans in the South Stand closer together, so that we can allocate FGR the required amount of tickets.

Donโt understand whatโs wrong with just giving then the usual away terrace for the remainder of this season and then make changes from next year when there will be nobody to inconvenience.

I hear what you're saying, although I guess that unless you bought your ST's on one account the club would have no idea that you were connected. It's proably a case of damned if they do, and damned if they don't, with regards to keeping everybody happy.

Personally i think displacing a long-term season ticket holder for the sake of giving more tickets to away fans is an absolute disgrace That's not the reason though is it. Sounds like we have been caught out trying to get more Gas in the ground. We have to give up to 10% to away fans, but if these arent all sold, can then open more to home fans. Looks like we have taken the away terrace to increase options for Rovers fans but now have to give up more of the south stand to FGR if they can sell them. Fair play to the FGR fan on here, that makes more sense, couldnt understand the 200 tickets sold figure. SOrry to gas season ticket holders being moved at the last minute - certainly not on to be moved away from people you normally sit with!

Not a great outcome for you though.

I know the reason, but why should day trippers be prioritised over me? Iโve had that seat for over 10 years. It's worse than that though. We've already been chucked out our seats for next season and seen long term match friendships broken up. I have 4 linked season tickets sat together and we have been split 2, 1 and 1 - all in different rows. It's unprofessional and not the correct way to treat loyal and regular fans. I guess ยฃ speaks louder these days...

Looking at it another way why should over 500 Gasheads miss out on watching home games next season, just so an handful of fans can keep their seats in the South Stand?
