The problem is the Premier League is still ongoing when we play our final. I'd prefer the final being played at the home of the highest placed team as used in Conference North/South final.That would encourage more people to get season tickets and join the Trust to ensure they qualified for a ticket.

But that would massively restrict the number of fans at the final to the capacity of the highest placed club. And revenues would be curtailed accordingly. And the visiting team would get hardly any tickets. Not workable. |

Large number of those grounds listed are Championship or below. |

Demand would drop hugely it it wasn't at Wembley. 2000 tickets would be plenty if we were away. It's fairer too that the highest placed team gets to play at home. I think given the Premier League grounds are all in use at the moment it's either Wembley or the stadium of one of the clubs. |

Some people like myself can't get a season ticket due to being a shift worker and working 3 Saturdays a month so how would that be fair Rob? |

I've just bought three tickets in block 224 in the Second Tier. O/S claims there are only 100 odd tickets left in the lower tier. Does this mean we have sold 16k?

THE Mariners have now sold around 12,000 tickets for Sunday's Vanarama Conference Promotion Final.
Level 2 (Club Wembley tickets) have now been put online through Seetickets.
i expect just under 15k, which for a small town, is not bad at all

I asked the question of said pillock regarding the minutes of the AGM where the decision was at least discussed. Didn't get an answer but I managed to find in the Conference's 2014/15 Rules, under the Financial Rules section the following is stated:
3. Financial Rules relating to the Promotion Final Tie:
3.1 In the Promotion Final Tie where clubs sell match tickets on behalf of the Conference the proceeds of ticket sales shall be paid
to the Conference on a daily basis directly in to the Football Conference Limited, designated Bank Account.
Considering that is the rulebook for this season, the suggestion to me is that the clubs CAN sell their own tickets. Absolutely no mention of See Tickets or any other rip-off merchant vendor having a monopoly on tickets.
Only a small word but enough to indicate there are other options for selling them. |

In any given week, don't forget to consider only 10 Premier teams are using their own grounds and given that their fixtures come out almost a year before the end of the season ( out June 2014 for games in May 2015) then it could surely be arranged so that when say Manure are on their travels (like the last day of this season at the Targers) Old Trafford would be free Of course it might mean moving the Conf play off date about but what's new there? As I recall it, Wrexham v Newport took place on the early May Bank Holiday Monday a couple of years ago, the same weekend that we played Gateshead last season and Eastleigh this |

I mean from a football point of view. The play-offs are a grossly unfair way to gain promotion. Every possible advantage should be given to the side which finished highest. In the US they give home-field advantage to the highest placed team. Likewise in Super League. I'd rather it be played at Wembley though, don't get me wrong, but I think if we don't play it there we should just play at the home of one the clubs, |
