It's 40 mins away I will get a home end ticket Friday if I can't get one after the game on Thursday.

Quoted from 1739
Braintree and the police are meeting tomorrow about an extended allocation. Surely a representative from Grimsby should be involved to put our case forward. If they give us 1600 then there will be no problems. We will sell out and the 1600 providing the tie is still in the balance and you won't get 100's of Town fans walking around Braintrees ground looking for ways to sneak in.  We have 2650 season ticket holders and we are getting 600 tickets which i am finding it hard to understand. I would understand if it meant genuine Braintree fans who have supported them throughout the season missing out but they have had 900 home supporters as their best attendance this season. Even if they treble their highest attendance this season then their would still be room for 1300 of us.


So you reckon there were 900 Altrincham fans there on Saturday?

Agree 100%

I would go as far as to say that GTFC shouldn't be waiting for an invitation to put their case either, otherwise they'll be cut out of the process to our detriment.  Getyourfactsright or another director should have a statement drafted and on the relevant person's desk at Essex Police first thing tomorrow, making it crystal clear that if we get a1300/1600 allocation, we'll be better-placed to have only official fans travelling and will minimise the chances of any flashpoints.  This in turn will make life much easier for Braintree staff.

Didn't see that but apparently they did go around posting free tickets. Will they be doing the same next Sunday. I am not saying Braintree should let us take the urine and don't want to take this 'we are massive' stance however the morally right thing to do would be to let the people who care most about the fixture attend the game and I would argue there are more Grimsby Town fans who really do care about these two fixtures.

From a Braintree Message Board...

Quoted Text
Not a lot to report as it's a bank holiday. We will be discussing detailed arrangements for Sunday with the Essex Police over the next day or two. Our club has given the opposition the ticket allocation required under National League rules. We may be able to offer Grimsby fans more but, before we do so, I'm keen to give Braintree fans the best chance to see the game as possible.


This guy (seems to be a club official/volunteer) giving the impression our allocation has been set low so that they can properly assess the interest from locals wanting to jump on the bandwagon. If they don't sell well then our allocation will be increased?

"the next day or two" WAKE UP! People have plans to make, this isn't a BBQ you're inviting a few friends round to have a chat and kick a ball about afterwards
