Apparently Grimsby Safty Advisory Commitee have done it in conjunction with Police! Surely this will just encourage them to buy tickets for home stands! If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

They were well on the way to that yesterday. “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” ― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."

UTM...!!! Cocktail Drinker Posts: 1,977 Posts Per Day: 0.31 Reputation: 79.23% Rep Score: +15 / -4 Approval: +130 Gold Stars: 6	Quoted Text Tickets have this morning been taken off-sale for Coventry City’s away game at Grimsby Town. The decision to take tickets off sale was taken by Grimsby’s Safety Advisory Group, following consultation from their local police force. Following this decision, tickets will NOT be available to buy on the day of the game. Coventry City are disappointed that more of the Sky Blue Army will not be able to attend, despite both Grimsby and Coventry City anticipating on the day sales, but unfortunately this is beyond our control. Source: https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2017/august/news-grimsby-tickets-off-sale-and-not-available-on-the-day/ Strange decision, reading that makes me think they hadn't sold their allocation but expected more to travel that we could accommodate? Or that the police hadn't prepared enough resources for the large away following. The Icenian Prediction League Winner 2012 (Part 2)

Guest User	To be fair to Humberside police they don't have the staff or resources to cope with big away followings as it has shown in the past.

Have Coventry got a known force of hooligans? Plus ours only turn up for the big local derby's. Very strange decision. Also with games like this they should open up the main stand for families of away fans, Plymouth have a family stand where both home and away fans are welcome.

They have to plan for our brilliant following going to their grounds, so why are we any different? Away fans bring income - we should relish more income going into the coffers this year from bigger relegated teams arriving here !
