Think I'll be getting a ST for the first time as the home games have fell well for me.

I think we could have a huge demand on our hands here and hope the club recognise that and at least start talking to Chesterfield about sending for the "extension pack" of extra tickets they sometimes give away teams.  

Of course, this will depend on whether Chesterfield think they can get a home sell-out, but GTFC need to make them aware that unless our fans can be catered for via a generous away allocation, then they run the risk of having lots of GTFC fans in home areas and will need to plan accordingly.

First off it needs to be "one for one" for STH anything other than that then someone will need shooting, however Towns ticketing policy is usually completely bonkers so who knows?

Donny last year p1ssed me off as loyal regular Town fans where left scrambling so others could attend their only game of the season

I don't agree with a 1 for 1 policy, is everyone going to travel down on their own? However a think a 2 for 1 season tick is sufficient. 4 takes the urine a bit, and leaves no opportunity for anyone else.

Why would they travel on their own? If there's an away game like this the group of STHs I sit in nominate someone to go in and get everyone a ticket. If a STH isn't going but someone else wants a ticket then they give their space to them. The problem comes when you have 4:1 like Donny and then every man and his two dogs manage to get a ticket. I still can't believe that Town thought 4:1 was a good idea!

Edit: I'll add that with a 1900 allocation anything other than 1:1 would be unfair on even some season tickets holders. I (without any real insight) estimate we'll have roughly 2k season ticket holders.

You could argue that 4:1 last season might have seemed reasonable at the time the decision was taken (I don't believe that myself but I can see how someone could have thought that) but the club could have been completely surprised by the demand.

But NOW there can be no excuses.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Does that really happen that often, in fact the only time I have seen any bother in home stands was at Burton and it didn't matter which stands the Town fans were in that day.

I don't think it does.  But any football club would rather have all visitors properly accommodated rather than have to ask people to move or (if they're being particularly unwise) trying to eject people.
