188 Crewe at Col U

171 Stevenage at Pools

 

[EricSabin]

847 of us at Northampton

In a crowd of 6,904. Thought it was a cracking atmosphere and the Gills were really loud too and it felt like a big occasion.

All still to play for in the Mid-Table Cup though - our game in hand may kill us mind.

Only an hour away admittedly but is there another team in this division taking that when they're 15th in April for a dead rubber?

Bradford. Even if it’s just to have a moan about being 15th.

Do Donny just make up their attendances - there is no way there were anything like 8,500 there today. 6.5k more like.

 

[joethegill]

Don't think there are any clubs within an hour of us who could possibly give us that allocation to be fair, we just get the small allocations like Sutton, Wimbledon, Crawley and Orient.

Let’s hope you get a Sat fixture and use your allocation next season.

Absolutely no chance there were 5000 Donny fans there. I'd say we had 2/5ths of the crowd. They must have included ST holders that were no shows.

 

[joethegill]

Yeah I hope so too! Couldn't make Sutton this season thanks to the scheduling, so hoping for a more favourable date next season. Hopefully we aren't bottom of the league like this season as well!

A piffling 136 Harrogate dragged themselves out of Betty’s Tearoom.

Christ,was that it.
Is there any bloody point of that football team.

Anybody know the Swindon numbers at Tranmere

Anybody know the Swindon numbers at Tranmere

I think I heard 402.

 

[northstandexile]

I think I heard 402.

What I can’t understand is if they announce it at the ground, why can’t they put in on their twitter feed or website.

In fairness you'll likely receive two blocks of the Pop Side instead, about 8-900.

We're selling out regularly, chasing automatics and the management believe having home fans behind both goals gives more advantage... you can't really blame us for the decision

 

[Chief Rocka]

It is what it is, some of our fans have a cheek complaining about ticket allocations after we've had a bust up away stand for over 2 seasons at 75% capacity.

With a bit of luck and a decent Stockport run in the next few weeks it'll be a dead rubber anyway and you can let Jennings have free roam of Edgeley Park for 90 minutes.

 

[F!RTHY]

It’s a shame Rochdale can’t accommodate an additional 2,000 tickets for us this weekend, because we’d shift them too.

Like gold dust and every man and his dog wants one.

That's bloody good for us. It's difficult for waiters to get time off on a bank holiday weekend. We all enjoyed the match, especially the second half.

I liked Leyton it looked to be a very busy area with lots going on. A big ground but a poor playing surface especially at the sunny side. A large, friendly but rather quiet crowd.

Thanks for the unexpected point.

I get why County would want to max sales for home fans. Not sure if Pools were already on sale but the way this was announced for us is shite. We've been given 1400 tickets, been selling them and County haven't told Dale about any changes. Our chairman found out via County's tweet last night. And apparently existing ticket sales have been cancelled. Cue a load've crap to deal with this morning.
Just seems a disorganised way of doing things. I could understand if you'd give n us an initial allocation and based on sales we'd ask for more. And if they weren't shifting then those of us with tickets are moved. That's what any other club would do.

As it happens we could lose the next two and be as good as down and no fucker will want to be there anywaym. Only real reason I'll still go (if i've not been cancelled!) Is it's a 10min walk and I've waited years to be back in the same league.

On this what is the access and segregation to the away section of the Pop like now? I went to County v Torquay last year in the away end (along with quite a few Wrexham fans and about 20 Torquay). And we had to walk through the RE, past all the home fans, to get in the Pop. I actually ended up having a piss during the game in the home end toilets. Didn't realise til I saw next to a loadve county fans in the bogs too.
The facilities at HT were a shared kiosk with a fence separting the fans at the corner of Pop/RE. All good natured on that night people having a pint and a laugh through the fence. But given there are enough yoof types from Dale and Hartlepool who don't care much for County that could be interesting. GMP will have a field day if it's the same set up.

 

[The Terminator]

We’ve sold out our allocation at Gillingham, will we get anymore? I’m not complaining, I got a Gordon Road stand seat which sold out quickly.

Sutton this weekend also sold out.

Mansfield and Bradford games will now depend on what we have to play for.

Nah wouldn't have thought so, any further allocation would be eating into the Gordon Road Stand and we've been getting good home attendances of late - just over 6.5k home fans at the last one.

You appear to have given us an extra 107 tickets! They won’t last.

Regarding facilities, I have never availed myself of their use so someone else we've played recently will have to let you know.

Regarding segregation, all I can say is the GMP's post-match efforts are so inept I'm sure somebody there actually wants things to kick-off in order to justify their costs - I've seen several occasions where things could've been very nasty, but kids these days prefer to wait until there's a fence in the way or some police around before they start waving their arms in the air (I don't want to encourage violence, I just find it all cringeworthy).

And regarding the allocation - if the club have gone back on a previous offer, then I agree that's out of order particularly given the potential importance for yourselves. From what I gather special dispensation has been granted under rule 35.3.1 to give less than 10%. At worst, you're getting up to 850-900 which isn't significantly worse than the 1,300-1,400 we've been giving everyone else.

It's all substandard, so the sooner the new Railway End gets built the better. Like yourself I live ten minutes from EP, I'll miss the view of the Cheadle End but upgrades for the other stands are decades overdue.

We need to sort the Railway end out ASAP. Not just for capacity but open ends in this day and age are embarrassing. They were 20 years ago tbh.

It's beginning to cost us money as we'd have had more than 9'000 on Monday had it at least had a roof. We put that end on sale too late to home supporters (something we've rectified by doing it early for Rochdale and Hartlepool at least) and then barely anyone who was 50-50 about going was going to stand it the pissing rain when they saw the forecast on a last minute whim.

 

[Stocky]

What's the maximum we'll be getting at Carlisle? hellogregory Carver Sorry I know there's a couple more Carlisle lads couldn't remember all the names.

We were given 778 which sold out, been given another 150 on sale tomorrow which I'm pretty certain will sell out quick. Is that all we get? I get that we won't get that open terrace but I thought that side block or two held about 1'500? If it's reduced to get more home fans in, fair enough, we're doing the exact same to Rochdale and Hartlepool by the sounds of things.

Unsure on the capacity of the 2 blocks in the East Stand. Maybe shoddycollins will know. But I do know they can’t reduce it to get more home fans in as the segregation in the concourse can’t be moved if that makes sense.

I see no reason why they wouldn’t give you the open terrace if there is demand for it. It was open to home fans for our last home game, but doubt it would be needed for home fans this time.

 

[Moonie]

The two blocks of the East Stand accommodate around 1500, so I expect POTD will be available - surprised if County haven't been informed whether this is the case. Tickets are usually available on the day unless the club has stated otherwise. I've had a glance at your website and there's not much info on there regarding the fixture. The CUFC twitter page will likely post some info for County fans once the Northampton game is out of the way on Saturday. Tickets are usually available on the day unless the club has stated otherwise.

Seems daft that we've only allocated the 900 or so at this point, not sure why they didn't just give you the full allocation from the off.
