Sorry but I strongly disagree! 😂 You only get preferential treatment if you’ve got a season ticket , supporters club member or share scheme member or whatever it is ? Everyone else takes their chance I’m afraid and as Big Jock pointed out lots of people can’t afford to join the above and have to take their chances Indeed but you are talking about deserving, not priority. Someone who isn’t an STH but does majority home games and a good dozen away games, is by far and away more deserving of the Scunny date than someone who fancies it for their first match of the season. Well then they should have joined the supporters club and they could afford it as they’ve been to a multitude of home & away games 😀

Can we just stop with this nonsense asking why we’re selling out now , part timers turning up , glory hunters etc etc It’s bloody OBVIOUS that such a big game will result in every man , woman and their dog wanting to go . Not every fan goes to every home game , I’ve got a season ticket but I’ve missed a couple for various reasons but I won’t miss this game for the blatant OBVIOUS Reason! If you go to one game every other year or every game you’ve as much right to get a ticket as anyone else . My point is , people can’t moan if they didn’t purchase a ticket earlier in the season for selected games , there has been plenty of time , it’s like me having a rant at Camelot for not winning the lottery when I Didn’t purchase a ticket. My Mrs missed out as she’s a fair weather supporter , but she then didn’t go online and start moaning that she missed out.

Dont think he was getting narky about it? For me, it’s more disappointment and frustration and, it sounds like the way the 500 were released left a little bit to be desired. Just because the tickets have been available for weeks doesnt mean that everyone who wants to see this game can get one. I dont get to many games for a variety of reasons not least because I live more than three hours away but having supported the club since 1969, I would have liked to have gone. I didnt think I could due to a work issue but now I could have done.Frustrated and disappointed yes, but not angry. Best wishes and good luck to all of those going. I may well travel down just to soak up the atmosphere around the Gloucester Road!

If you haven't got a ticket get yourself to Barrow to cheer on the Bluebirds.
Pity it's a 500 round trip.

Happy for those who got tickets, gutted for those who wanted them but weren't successful, myself included. Fully respectful of both sides of the ticketing argument but can't see a way to keep everyone happy.
Tin hat on here but I'll be buying one off a tout outside the ground if I have to, as I'm sure there will be some. Failing that I'll start a party in the car park.
If anyone ends up with an adult spare I'll happily pay for it and chuck £20 to a charity of your choice.

It would be ideal if the club were able to run a scheme like the FA does where you get 'points' for games attended.
Would be especially good for when we get a big team away like Chelsea as those who go home and away every week would get priority.
Fingers crossed thats something that can be brought in down the line now we're using Ticketmaster

Seems to me that we didn’t follow priority systems here - we have a club which gives you priority but didn’t seem to promote the game to members? Or did we? Or do we only have about 15 who don’t have a season ticket?

Fingers crossed thats something that can be brought in down the line now we're using Ticketmaster It’s a good point pal, can I jes say evryone this debate is good an I’m not trying ta cause arguments or riffs.. Th fact is many jes buy tickets or season tickets when required, they can enjoy as many games as they choose an th day out, drinks , eats that goes with it. But please remember there are those who cannot afford that privilege, finances this year are really squeezing so many an tough choices are being made. So, please don’t judge too harshly that man, woman, child who may only have th opportunity to go to one, maybe two games a season, an yes they would like to make it a big game if possible. Because they feel pretty sad already that they can’t go often without reading they are a glory hunter etc.

Just thinking in this situation someone who's been to one or two games this season would automatically be ahead in the queue of those who are just coming to this game as it's a 'big' one. There are no easy solutions to problems like these.

Seat b23 in the West stand was been empty all season so you could always phone up and see if the seat has been taken, no takers so far this season.

I think my biggest point is when folk see someone they dinnae normally see, singing “where we’re you when we were sh1t” or ridiculing them is pretty low when they may jes have not had th opportunity to for a number of reasons. I’m sorry, an many may disagree but it’s bullying imo.
