It’s been some years since we’ve done it, but I think it’d be worth getting those temporary seats in the corner again for the Bradford and Scunny games. Leave them there all season; if we do well we can fill them ourselves for other games. Who knows.

It's all down to cost though isn't it.. If they hold 500 and say we fill them on an average of £15 per seat twice in the next year (£7,500) but it costs more than that to 'rent' them then there is no point

Just get Tom Shutes to BUY them, if, of course, he’s actually got any money......

I was at Valley Parade in the late seventies/early eighties when Town won something like 3-1.

I think bricks were being thrown into the Town end from behind the stand.

I was lucky to get away with my life that day after being chased to the car by Bradford fans, I was a good runner in those days

Quoted from Les Brechin


We can't have given them the full allocation as earlier today their Twiiter said that they are expecting a 2nd allocation to arrive tomorrow


No idea what allocation they were given.
Would have thought they would have no problem at all selling the full 1900.

Must have been late 70s. We were two divisions above them in the early 80s, by the mid 80s they got to the second division, year we went down or the season before.

We didn't offer Lincoln any extra tickets for all the thousands of fans that supported them when Graham Taylor was manager, but were then kidnapped for 40 years...I can't see why we would offer Bradford any more. Scunthorpe won't fill the away end unless they are in the top three...

They have brought 1,900 (or a few hundred more before all seater) on 4 occasions in 50 years - twice in the FA Cup and twice when in a promotion position in the league. Certainly no reason to rent an extra 500 seats for them.
