Halifax away Tickets

I can now understand why West Yorkshire police are limiting our numbers now, Bradford at home to Harrogate, this fixture has always had a history, well last season,as that’s when they first played each other, the Harrogate ultras have terrible reputation for causing trouble, why only last week one of them dropped his cucumber sandwich in Auntie Betties tea room.

I asked the question when Scunny took my tickets back
& refunded my order. Can’t remember the response but think there’s something in the Ts & Cs about data sharing, think it also covers them sharing info with the police.

Probably someone with some knowledge on data protection should have a look into it.

Scunthorpe did the same with me, by all accounts they're allowed to share intelligence by the way of databases.
I simply got my sister to pick up a shedload.

So this decision has been made without no explanation and that’s that is it?
As far as I’m aware Grimsby fans have been a credit to the club home and away all season, am I missing something that has happened this season to warrant this move on reducing our tickets?
Is our name just so badly tarnished now that we will just have to put up with this and treated like we are a bunch of hooligans.
How come all these other games locally Policed in Yorkshire have no restrictions on tickets..

The attendance and kickoff time is the absolute worst case scenario that could have been reasonably forced upon our fans.

These are the sort of issues I'd like to see the trust or SLO be more vocal about, and by vocal I don't mean be a nodding lapdog with a generic statement that they did everything they could.

I'd be interested in the specific arguments made for and against increased attendance etc with a bit of deal, otherwise its just hot air from both parties IMO.

You do know that’s exactly what they do? Challenge, plead our case.

Instead of turning on the club or trust and the likes of Kristine, why not focus your attention on the police, the footballing authorities and anyone else that seemingly takes pleasure in marginalising football fans based on some data from 35 years.

The travesty here is plenty will miss out, hope and away fans dip out and Halifax as a club miss out, nobody wins other than the hundreds of extra bobbies that will no doubt still be drafted in…

Quoted from grimps

The Notting Hill carnival is on a bank holiday every year with lots of stabbings murders and robberies but I’ve never seen the police suggest that be moved or numbers restricted  

WHAT?! I've played there loads of times and never seen any violence. There have been a few, very few, murders, over a  60 year period, but there are 1m. people gathering in an enclosed space, there's always potential for one or two nutcases.

I really think this is a most unwise decision by WYP.  As Halifax is not too far away, many Town supporters have family and friends around West Yorkshire and it’s inevitable that lots and lots of home stand tickets end up in Grimsby hands.  When Town score it will result in Grimsby fans celebrating naturally and if Halifax fans react it could end badly.
Given the numbers travelling long distances to support the Mariners, I really can’t see people not going when our ticket allocation is sold out.
I would urge both clubs, Halifax council and WYP have further discussions.
The vast majority of football fans do not cause trouble but when trouble starts in the stands by the minority, it rarely ends well.

Totally and utterly baffled beyond belief for what is becoming a faff and constant hassle to watch our club this season in this complete shambles of a league and police state we live in - completely pathetic

I would love to see us show up in our thousands in Halifax but not go in obviously - but I know yes that would cause utter chaos but the best thing we should do is completely boycott these clubs who are treating us like this - I dunno really I’m just fed up with it all and the joke of it - stupid country

Don’t think it’s the club’s decision (Halifax) Timsky. It’s the polizei. Must share “intelligence”* with Derbyshire police. Remember when they tweeted that Town fans had wrecked a pub in Chesterfield and the landlord tweeted back “no they haven’t, they’ve been as good as gold”.

* one brain cell between them.

It really is about time this sort of thing was stopped. The police can cope with bigger clubs. I know we’ve got some knobheads but surely not as many as some of the Championship and Premiership clubs. Maybe it should be taken up with NELincs’ MPs. (Yeah I know, but that’s what they’re there for and Vickers is supposed to be a Town fan).

Nothing to do with us pal, we'd be daft to want to restrict numbers of away fans travelling. Purely the council and WYP getting together and trying to come up with the best way to take the fun out of a festive football match. Making sure they can clock out quickly after the game with minimal paperwork.

Our chairman will be seething at this decision. However there is not really a right lot we can say or do to change the situation.
