This part puzzles me, on one hand they say a decision (which none of us like) was made by another party but on the other hand the trust will continue to be involved in ticketing decisions to secure as many tickets as possible for future fixtures. Are they involved in these decisions or not? (again, not having a go at the trust here just looking for clarification).
The decision to allocate 1200 tickets for the FC Halifax Town game has been made following a report from their Safety Advisory Group, which includes the local council (who own their ground), and the local Police Force.
Quoted Text
Kristine and Dave will continue to be involved in ticketing decisions and assist in negotiations to ensure we can secure as many as possible for future fixtures.

It’s a balancing act though, as the response clearly explains, this decision has been made by a committee that knows little about football, has flimsy at best evidence and clearly lacks understanding of genuine crowd safety etc.
They hold the power, that is wrong and that is what needs changing. Think about when our old safety officer essentially said all town fans were thugs, as fans we were powerless to stop that or challenge it without fear of being banned or excommunicated from the club. The same could happen here, these cliques work together. We call it out as a club, you watch it happen time and time again.
A full fan boycott would be helpful although they’d be more than happy with that in truth.
As I’ve said, larger demonstrations across the country are what is needed but sadly won’t happen with our possible football fan base, the tourist types who’ve waited 6 months to see a game won’t refuse themselves entry to support the greater good Becauee in truth, they don’t really care too much…
It’s not just the tourist types. A lot of English fans have a ‘my club and only my club’ attitude and can’t be arsed to take a wider view. Just look at the number that go to Milton Keynes. Admittedly lower than normal numbers but still significant. I’d love to see it though. Maybe an issue the FSA can take leadership on. |

I agree, we’ve even seen it at town. Whether it blind loyalty to the club so protesting seemed like some slight or just stupidity but remember when we’ve tried to protest? We’ve never really managed more than a 1000. I remember when Liverpool fans staged that alleged walk out at the price increase for tickets in the new stand…not enough really left, the club did it to some extent and that stand is full. Sometimes fans should probably relied their clubs aren’t perfect… |

Leaving less time for folk to get tickets in the home end once ours are confirmed as sold out, as those sales end on the 12th. TBH if anyone was thinking about going in the home end, I'd get it sorted ASAP. We all know our tickets aren't going to make it past season ticket holders. The club aren't even suggesting they will put them on general sale even if the very unlikely scenario there's a few left. Think it's become increasingly clear that WYP and Calderdale Council won't budge, and will put more pressure on Halifax Town to make it ever more difficult for anyone to get tickets in the home end. An address with photo ID is needed to pick up btw. Presumably just not a Grimsby address, I mean if you live in York, it's just as likely you're a Halifax fan... |

Yes my family and another have already accepted we won’t be getting the 8 tickets we need in the town end, so made arrangements with our contacts in the area already to get them in the home end, frustrating having to mess about but am sure we aren’t going to be the only ones having to doing this. We are just your average well behaved group looking to enjoy a day out watching our team and that’s it.. |

Yet you may well be endangering yourselves and creating the excact issues that the WYP/ SAG are claiming these measures are trying to prevent. Don't forget the initial argument seemed to stem from away supporters ( Wrexham ) being attacked by home supporters.......nothing to do with controlling marauding fishy folk raping and pillaging. |

Well they really haven’t thought it through then have they with the allocation, there will be plenty more going in the home ends and planning for sure. Fans will always get tickets if they really want to go, they want to hope come Xmas this game isn’t a bigger game for us than it is now. Our current dip in form has slightly killed a little bit of the buzz around the place recently, I think a lot of us would admit, but if we do start getting on a good run again leading up to this game then yes this could cause problems I’d agree. I’ll leave the whole talk of fans going in there end here as I don’t want it to draw anymore attention on a public forum possibly spoiling it for others who have planned or planning the same.. |

Then it should have been home fans that they restrict by that logic. May as well ban non-drinkers from walking near pubs because some drunk people get violent. |
