Absolutely, no one in their right mind would. So there’s your issue…

I was going to make a joke and say that that sounds like a bet, but there is a serious point here. Though around 100, mostly restricted view tickets remain in the Main Stand for tomorrow’s game, we appear to have sold over 500 tickets in the Osmond which will probably be closer to 700 come kick-off time.

That means that even ignoring the likely greater demand for the Notts County game, we’d be turning away fans even with the two blocks near the Main Stand. Does this not in fact increase the chances of Town fans ending up amongst County fans in substantial numbers? I realise this is probably not the club’s decision, but it does feel like a potential oversight nonetheless.  


Definitely not an oversight.  If match planning was easy, it'd make life much easier but part of the planning for this game is that the Osmond will remain solely for the use of away fans.

OK, fair enough Kristine - I'll get back in my box.

Certainly wasn't a criticism of you or the club. It'll be a shame if we have empty seats and Town fans unable to attend the game, I think we can all agree on that, but it sounds like it's unavoidable so fair enough.

I agree
Shouldn’t be allowing Notts to have that many tickets in light of the demand there is for home tickets

Is this the first bit of an issue

If there us Town demand, then our fans should come first


As usual no fornicator agrees with a word you say

I don’t think there’s an issue necessarily in the size of Notts County’s allocation - of the above figure of 1,255 is correct then we haven’t given them the whole stand, at least yet. Personally, if they are able to sell enough tickets for both sections of the Osmond then I’d be inclined to give them the full allocation, so long as there’s an agreement that they reciprocate for our away game in the new year.

I’m assuming the reason we’re being told of no Town fans in the Osmond is one of safety / segregation. My argument is that by denying home supporters seats which may otherwise remain empty, you run the risk of inflaming the situation and of Town fans obtaining tickets in the away end (which could get messy).


Their ground is significantly larger than ours, and so they are in a position to let us have more than enough tickets

Our ground is very small, and so our fans must come first.

I’d allocate the small area towards the left of the Osmond for them, and the rest of it for us.

Look after your own first

Is there a national league requirement for us to make x% of the ground available to away fans?

It's time to bring the green seats back in the corners between the pontoon and main and the findus and pontoon. We actually need them!

I would imagine that allocation will be a preliminary amount with the option of giving them more should they sell out?

Let’s forget about th3 green seats they will be long gone and I can’t see the new owners wasting money on something temporary. If crowds remain high with regular osmand use then it will accelerate the decision on what todo with the main stand
