Not wanting to put a negative on it as I hope win manage to win the title, but have the club started to think about what we’re doing about segregation and tickets if we play in them?
I was going to raise the issue tonight at the supporters club meeting but as it’s been cancelled I’ll put my point on here.
My view is if we do have to segregate which I presume we will as there is a likely chance that we could play clubs who will bring a large following Chorley, York or Stockport, they need to be put in the top end of the ground and given the 1st block of seats in the seated stand for any elderly of disabled fans, that will able the away fans to stand in the area where the training goals are kept, the top end stand and the area down past the club shop, I’d say the areas mentioned would mean a allocation of 800 at least with tickets sent to opposition club to purchase at there ground., the club would have no extra expense as there are toilet and catering facilities already fit for purpose.
I know the club are keen to push ticket sales online, but for the playoff games this needs to be scrapped otherwise it is open to abuse, paper tickets similar to what you get at Tamworth or Salford can’t be overly expensive to make and you could have your ticket printed off when you buy in person at the ticket office, with demand likely to be high I would also suggest Season Ticket holders and supporters club members should be allowed to purchase up to 4 tickets a day in advance of general sale.
If we have to play in the playoffs it is imperative we keep the home advantage and not see it as a earner for the club hence buying tickets in person as if we have to play York and they could buy as many tickets as they wanted online like in the regular season fixture and turn it into a home game, yes a few will make the effort and go to the ground and purchase tickets if they don’t get tickets on the away end but nowhere near as many of it’s the click of a button away,
Just my thoughts, anyone else got any other ideas? But like I say I hope we get it automatically but it’s good to be prepared for all eventualities.
